Our week and weekend was a whirlwind, so many fun things happened, and now it's is next week and I'm ready to catch my breath. Conferences were so good this semester, I had tears in my eyes driving home because I am so proud of both Mason and Ashton. I felt like driving them straight to the spotted cow for an ice cream treat after, but restrained myself.
We were all so excited to go to the Mommy-son dance, and I decided that I should wear a dress more often, because Ash was flabbergasted. He didn't know what to make of it, and kept telling me "you look preddy, Mommy". Dinner was good, although I made a mental note to work on table manners with the boys. At the dance I was pulled in two different directions most of the night. Mason wanted to play games, and Ash just wanted to DANCE! He loved the music, and tried so hard to master the electric slide. Eventually the lights, loud music and mass of screeching boys got to be to much for Ashton, and we had to high-tail it out of there.
Saturday Sean had a seminar, and the boys and I met Mimi and PJ at Mason's basketball game. Thank god for Mimi and PJ, I'm not sure it would have been such a success had they not been there. Sometimes it takes three adults to care for two children. Mason had a wonderful game, and was very tuckered out by the end.
Peyton invited Mase to celebrate her birthday at Mongolian barbecue, and it is the first time EVER that he has not put up a fight about getting into handsome-boy clothes (as we call them). He had a great time with his favorite girl, and was so proud of himself for going on his own. Ashton felt a little left out, so we made up a batch of crepes with fresh fruit and yogurt for his dinner. Viola! problem solved.

Sean decided to stay home Sunday (yay!) and we enjoyed the most wonderful, unplanned family day out. We went to Toledo and visited the mall to play and walk and escape the rain. We found some early-reader books for Mason, and had lunch at Aladdin. Blake enjoyed the restaurant as much as the rest of us, eating a whole jar of sweet potatoes as we ate our lunch. He is doing a fantastic job eating, and had his first turkey meat yesterday for dinner.
