We had a great Thanksgiving week! We started off the weekend before with GiGi coming to watch Riley so Kelly, Josh, Nancy and I could go down to Austin and do the Warrior Dash for Kelly's birthday. Kelly and I have been wanting to do it for quite sometime, and we just missed the one near Dallas earlier this year. Our friend Hon from Austin did it with us too, so it was a lot of fun! I have a bum hamstring, and Nancy is nursing runners' knee so we walked/ran it, but we did all the obstacles and finished it! I have to admit it was WAY easier than I had mentally psyched myself up about it! Kelly and I ended in grand fashion - he did a front flip into the final mud pit and I did a face first belly dive! Good Times!!! :) Then we went out in Austin that night. We went to some private party at a bar of some of Hon's friends. And there was a guy there doing balloon figures or whatever. He was AWESOME! Here's a quick pic of my Star Wars nerd husband who happens to be trapped in a hot, jock body! LOL! Although I have to admit his friend ordered it for him for his birthday! Still pretty impressive though! And our friend Hon used it to pick up all sorts of chicks that night, so I guess every chick does secretly want to be Princess Leila! I think it took Kelly and I until Tuesday to feel normal though! We are definitely out of practice from how we used to be able to go out!
Then we actually sent Riley to school this week since he had been out of school since last Thursday ill so he'd be back on schedule, and we were totally self indulgent and had day dates and went to see 4 movies! We even went out with friends one night, and Talana watched Riley for us! So we almost had an entire 'adult' week if you count Saturday through Wed! :) It was fun! And we didn't really see any bad movies either, so that made it worth it! And Riley had a BLAST at school because they made each day a fun day - they watched Toy Story, played with Bubbles then brought their favorite snacks one day. It helped me feel less guilty and self absorbed when he didn't want to leave school when we went to pick him up! He LOVES it!
I'm sad to say we missed most of my family Thanksgiving Day, which is my favorite holiday of the year because usually everyone comes. What can you do?! Kelly and I overslept, and you can't just "get out the door" with a toddler like we can when it's just the 2 of us! It was still a good day! And we still got to have our FAVORITE Chicken and Dressing! Every year my Aunt Char's tastes more and more like my MemMaw's did! Yummy! It's Kelly's favorite now too! Which unfortunately, means less leftovers for me!
We got our tree up during Riley's nap yesterday, so now we just need some presents under it! And we got to see my Godson's family from Portland this afternoon, so I'd say we had a pretty good Thanksgiving/Kelly's Birthday/Vacation week! Now back to reality tomorrow!
