It has been a great weekend!!! Chinese and dance parties at my best friends house with all of our little toddlers on Friday, Saturday was filled with errands to prepare for the week ahead, mani/pedi with my best friend and then a VERY RARE date night at Seasons 52 followed by our favorite Wine Bar in our small downtown. It was a blast to spend quality time laughing without chasing rugrats. Sunday we woke up and met Brian's grandmother at Brunch with Santa and Mrs. Clause at our country club. We all ate too much and the kiddos had a blast. Brian's grandmother shared some very sad news about her cancer prognosis, which they are considering terminal now and they will not be continuing any treatment. She asked us to find time to get some of her and Papaw's (her late husband) belongings to pass down to the kids, which is heartbreaking. Mamaw has been a solid, stable CONSTANT in my children's lives, and I am devastated knowing that her time here is limited. After she left, we did our normal football season Sunday of wrangling toddlers while attempting to watch the Cowboys game. All-in-all it was a good weekend with some bad news, but it has a silver lining... You always appreciate time with someone more when you know it is limited, you make extra visits, do extra special things, and generally let any petty things go.
Off to bathe three toddlers,
