~Good Times~

Oh man.

I'm so full.

The kids and I just got back from dinner at a local Mexican restaurant where we met Derek and two other K-9 officers who were breaking from training for dinner.

Oh it was so good.  I had Fish Tacos with beans and rice.  Yum Yum!

My kiddos were on their best behavior too.  I just love that.  Its almost like you want to go "nanana boo boo, my kids are good in restaurant" to those people who sit in the booth next to you who's kids are outrageous!

Ha! I'm so mean... But seriously.  They were good.  Mr. Z enjoyed some rice and beans off of my plate and Rowan ordered her own dinner... A Quesadilla.  Such a big girl she is.  She loves going and meeting her daddy too... Getting to see him and the doogies.

She was also asked by the other K-9 officer from Derek's pd if she'd like to go to her house to ride horses!!  Ro's eyes brightened up with that question.  I think we'll take her (D's partner) up on the offer too!  I'm sure Rowan would have a blast... I think I would too :)

 

So dinner was a good ending to a good day.

The kids and I slept in until just about 8am.  I'm really surprised too.  Mr. Z tends to be an early riser, but I guess I played my cards right this morning and he just slept!  I don't mind though.  I was tired!!

Later in the morning we went to the mall with my MIL.  We had a good time shopping for shoes for the kiddies and then my MIL took Rowan to the "Hello Kitty" store.  Oh man.  I think Rowan was in hog heaven there!  All that 'girlie' stuff... lol.

After we picked up some pretzels at the pretzels stand we were off to a local nursery that specializes in Christmas decorations and the Department 56 houses.

Rowan and Zach each got a Christmas Ornament from my MIL too.  Rowan picked out - with a bit of help from me and my MIL- a cute little fairy ballerina, while Zachary got a "Baby's First Christmas" ornament.

 

After we got home from the mall... We ALL (yes!!! me too!!!) took a nap... a 2 1/2 hour nap!!  I swear, if the phone hadn't rung, we might have slept for longer!  Thank goodness we didn't though... I am still not sure if my kids will be ready and willing to go down when they normally do tonight because of the long nap!!

 

Oh... I forgot to have Derek take a picture of me today when my hair looked nice... lol.  So I guess I'll have to do it tomorrow.  Sorry :(

 

Miss Rowan had a good time at her First Big Girl Birthday Party yesterday!  She said she liked the movie and my SIL said she did a good job watching it.  Of course, because she is not even 4 yet, she did have a little bit of a problem towards the end... SIL said Ro was getting a little bored and what not.  But she seemed to like hanging out with the Big Girls.  She kept calling the other girls "Kids".  haha.  I guess she doesn't realize that she was the "kid".

 

Tomorrow Derek has the day off.  I think we are planning on hanging around the house and watching Football... fun fun... (not).  But hey, at least he'll be home and we'll all be together!!  Maybe the kiddos and I can drag him away from the TV for a little bit tomorrow and make our way down to the local park.

The weather here has been in the mid-70's lately... nothing like Normal November weather... so I'm sure it would be nice to take a walk down there.  Yep, I think we'll be doing that!! 

Park!  Here we come!!

 

Well, I need to go feed my little man a bottle.  He doesn't seem full from the beans and rice... Growing little man I am guessing.

I hope each and everyone of you has a good rest of the weekend... And I HOPE and CROSS MY FINGERS that I'll hear about them next week... (it is still sooo quiet out there in J-land!)
