SPONTANEOUS

Friday night Dave and I got home from work and were talking... "what do you want to do tonight? I don't know, rent a movie? Go to the park?" Our kids were bored and we were bored and felt like we do the SAME THING every single weekend-- PLUS it was my first weekend off in 3 weeks - so we got a crazy spontaneous adventurous idea and said, "LETS GO TO THE BEACH!!!" So we called Emily & Chad and asked if we could crash on their floor Friday night and they said YES! Yea! THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU GUYS! You were awesome! We packed in 30 minutes and headed down the freeway! YEE HAW! It was so much fun and a much needed break for us all! We got to Emily and Chad's apartment after midnight- blew up the air mattresses, visited a little bit and then crashed! Bright and early Saturday we headed to Santa Monica beach and hit the waves! It was so much fun! We all had boogie boards and were in the ocean for 7 solid hours of fun in the sun!! It was awesome! We got home at 11:30 p.m. and literally flopped into bed.  Matt said, "I laid in bed flat on my face without a pillow and thought, I should really roll onto my back it would be more comfortable- he woke up at 2 a.m. in the same position" That pretty much sums up how tired we were! Thankfully we have LATE church so we slept in WAY late! It was AWESOME! We all came back a little bit fried~ but nothing a couple of days hasn't fixed! Sunday morning I woke up to a beautiful spring bouquet of flowers and a sweet card from Dave, a hilarious poem from Matt, a beautiful slideshow from Lindsey, a darling cement yard paver Katie made with her handprint in it, and a card and DARLING photo from Ellie that she made at school! YEA!!! Thank you so much to my great kids and husband! I had a wonderful Mother's Day and an OUTSTANDING weekend!
