Common Mom

I see a common theme in our weekends! I’m an outside freak . . . if it’s nice out, we’re outside doing something - usually playing. And during spring, my family gets a little gung ho on the whole summer thing and just can’t wait to get going.

This past weekend, I took Friday off to celebrate my hubby’s birthday - we went golfing, ran a few errands, picked the kids up from school and headed right to the ball park for tailgating with some good friends. We watched a great baseball game (the Colorado Springs Sky Sox - AAA affiliate of the Colorado Rockies) and were treated to a great fireworks show after the game. Unfortunately, it may be our last Friday Night Fireworks at the Sky Sox game. On Saturday, a Sky Sox employee was injured while preparing the pre-game fireworks. We’re praying for him and his family.

On Saturday we packed a picnic lunch, went to Jason’s soccer game, and headed up in to the mountains for a short hike at Mueller State Park. We chose the Grousse Mountain hike - there are AMAZING views at the end of the hike, which is also the highest point in the park (9,300-something feet). You can easily see 100 miles. A stop at Dairy Queen on the way home to get birthday treats for Dan since Saturday was his actual birthday. Home to clean up and out for birthday dinner. FUN!

Sunday was another great day! I got a beautiful new ring for Mother’s Day. Then our babysitter arrived and we headed up to Denver with some friends for a special Mother’s Day concert by Jim Brickman. He’s one of our favorites! Dan wrote an essay to a radio station and we won the tickets! We had a great time. Unfortunately we got stuck in traffic on the way up there so we didn’t get to enjoy the Denver Art Museum, but the concert and reception were great. Back home to the kiddies for a relaxing evening.

Now of course we’re back to Monday and another work week. And we have all week to get ready for another fun weekend ahead!

How did you spend your Mother’s Day weekend?
