Tired Mommy!

Ugh! I was definitely not ready for the alarm to go off this morning. The Huguley's had a full weekend of fun. We needed a break from our weekend! But we still had a bunch of fun.
The weekend started with daddy and Jay night on Friday night...Okay...mommy really just ditched the boys to hang out with her 2 favorite Beccas but it sounds better when I say they had Daddy and Jay night! Daddy and Jay mowed the lawn and played basketball. And then went and got Zaxby's. Jay ate two chickens strips and stole most of daddy's fried mushrooms. Normally I don't like him to eat that much junk, but I was having my own girls night so at that point I didn't really care as long as he ate, got a bath and was in bed by the time I got home! Mommy went to Brixx in Mount Pleasant and had pizza and wine with Becca D. and Becca J. It was yummy and nice to catch up with friends without worrying if pizza was going to 'accidently' be thrown across the table. We ended the evening by going to see THE THORN at Seacoast. It was the most amazing production I have ever seen. I cannot even begin to describe it. I would call it a cross between cirque de solei meets the Passion of the Christ. It was moving and awesome and heart wrenching all at the same time. Of course Becca J. and I kept thinking one of the Roman soldiers was going to grab us from behind. They were kinda scary. Highly recommend it! Everyone in my family (except Jay) better mark their calendar because we are all going to see it!
So after getting home at midnight from Mount Pleasant, Jay was up & at 'em by 8:30. I guess he was excited about his first Easter Egg hunt! He had so much fun. He found 36 eggs. Would have found more but I was scared other kids weren't getting enough. It went much better than I thought. I had visions of him running over little kids and screaming 'MINE MINE.' But that didn't happen. He was with his Mimi and on his best behavior! He kept informing us of what color each egg was. I am so proud that Jay has learned all of his colors! We weren't quite sure about that big, giant fuzzy thing. The Easter Bunny is now on the same list as Santa: you can bring Jay all the presents you want but he still isn't going to sit in his/its lap for a picture! So we ended the outing at McDonald's with the Mappus/Cross family. Wonderful morning!
After naptime we headed to Easter Church services. Yep! We went the night before to beat the crowd! It was a great service and Jay loved the children's room. He had a snack and made a cross with stickers. But the teachers were laughing mostly about the fact that for almost thirty minutes...Jay was obsessed with the basketball hoop in the toy area. (Jay is obsessed with basketball). We left Church and went to dinner (OUTBACK) where a really scary man made Jay a ballon ELMO. Since when did restaurants start hiring people to walk around the dining room making balloon animals? Anyway! He scared the daylights out of Jay and ELMO had to sit next to daddy at dinner.
Jay got his first big boy Easter basket on Sunday. His favorite part was the ball that grandma got him. He wasn't too worried about the bendy bunnies, the cute duck, all the candy or the fishing game. Nope...just wanted to play with the ball. Oh well! Daddy had fun putting together the ELMO legos that Mimi got Jay...I am a little worried that Jay is traumatized by the balloon guy and his ELMO. He wasn't too interested in the legos. We went to Conway (johnathan's grandparents) and had an amazing lunch as usual! I LOVE going to Conway. Everything is homemade and yummy! (It doesn't hurt that everything is also cooked in bacon grease!) Jay had so much fun walking around outside with Granddaddy and looking for the eggs that Aunt Vanessa hid for him. He even took a trip to Granddaddy's old store with Vanessa and came back with a sucker! Jay's favorite! He slept most of the way home he was so tuckered out!
We ended the weekend with a little bit of Wonder Pets and Wow Wow Wubbzy. None of us were ready to start the week but we are looking forward to the weekend! Hopefully the weekend doesn't involve as much candy! Hopefully I will find more coupons for the big sale at Publix! Gotta start clipping! Woo Hoo!
