Typical Weekend

So this past weekend was typical. Lacrosse practice Friday night, and up until all hours finishing 2 cakes - 5 hours is more than enough sleep for anyone, right? Thank goodness Tiago let me sleep in until 9:30.

Saturday we had to run by The V's to drop off Ryan's cake for his birthday bash, he is getting so big, looked adorable in his little crown. Gabriella is just a doll and growing so fast as well. So glad they had a nice day for all the kids.

But no staying there - we had to rush off to Franklin for Emily's First Communion - she looked so pretty, but was out of that dress and veil so fast that we only have one picture of her at the church. Her cake came out very cute, which is good since I will have to make it again this coming weekend for another First Communion. Tiago and Tyler had about 15 minutes back at Russ' house before they had to run off to a baseball game (they were ahead 14 - 2 in the last inning - don't ask the final score. Let's just say it won't happen again).

I stayed until we cut the cake and then had to run back to the house to get a few things ready for Heidi's cake for Sunday, then as soon as Tyler was home, he and Stephen and I had to run out to meet the Mojito's for Dominic's birthday dinner. We had a great time at Samba the Japanese steak house, great chef, very entertaining for the kids. He spent a lot of time throwing vegetables at them. The kids begged for a sleepover and Kristin was brave enough to take them all!

Sunday, up early to decorate Heidi's cake for the party at 3:00. Everything was going fine until Tiago realized he was not going to make it on time from golf to baseball practice at 12:00. No problem, I brought the kids and the stuff, thank goodness for a few dads and Lefty's mom who helped me coach until Tiago made it there at 1:30. Then Tiago ran to Heidi's to set up the moonwalk and ran Tyler over to his Lacrosse game. Back to the house to finish the cake, shower and get to Heidi's for the surprise at 3:30. Tiago and Tyler showed up after the game. We had a great time at the party and stayed until everyone else had left. The St. Bridget Mom's are always the last to leave a party!

Yesterday we picked up the new van - adore it!! Will post a picture of that soon, only downfall to it will be the fights over watching a video for the 3 minute ride to the grocery store! I tried to tell the kids that the video did not turn on until the car had been driving for more than 30 min, but they did not fall for it.

So all in all, just another typical weekend at the Anes Household. You can see the weekend pictures in the other posts below. Can anyone out there top that? Hey cousins - bet you can't wait 'til those kids grow up!!

God Bless Emily

Happy Birthday Heidi!

Well it was a surprise until about an hour before the party, and Heidi arrived unshowered - so I count that as a success. We had a great time at Heidi's surprise 41st birthday, the kids had a blast outside in bathing suits with the hose (yes it was freezin - they are nuts) Chris made everyone cry with his adorable compliation of voice messages and photos of Emma and Ava on DVD for Heidi. But the best part was when one of the little guys burst into the bathroom on one one of the other kids, and when he realize the toilet was occupied - he promptly used the trash can! Aren't kids great? Note to self - never use wicker for bathroom trash cans.
