Eventful Weekend Recap

Before I recap the weekend, here are a few pictures of the animals I was able to work with last Wednesday at the Adoption Center:

The top two pictures are Hank, the mini poodle.  Bottom left is Beefy the Puggle mix.  Bottom right is Sammy the cutest chunky Shih Tzu ever.  The cat is Skittles, and she was the cuddliest! She loved on me for a long time!

Thursday night I went to the store with a craving for a Cobb Salad, which they didn't have and I didn't feel like making-but I still did well because this is what I came home with for dinner instead:

Friday was probably the most interesting day... Julie, Josh and I all went for Rich's Burgers, and when we came home Kristi and Kaden were waiting for me.  They had just been to the zoo and the kiddos had gotten their faces painted.

Kailee and Kaden with their facepaint.

Josh and Julie took off for a party, and Kristina told me that my ex (the one who's just somebody I used to know now, despite being friends for years) had been willing to let his kids run in and see me while he waited in the car.  I was floored.  I haven't seen the kids in almost 8 months, and I've missed them terribly. 

Plus, Kristina had left my Wii controllers in her car when we planned on playing Mario Party, and her Book Swap books that had to go out the next day.  So the books and controllers are the excuse I'm sticking with for jumping in the car and heading back up to Layton to get them... and see the kids...

They are SO big! Look how they've grown!

On the drive up I was really worried about the psychological consequences of my actions, but I couldn't help myself.  And while I do miss them more now that I've seen them again, I don't regret it at all.  D hugged me and told me how much he missed me and then ran off to play, but H had me hold her the entire time I was there and she cried when she couldn't come with me when I left.  I love them so much.

It was also fun how awkward their dad was as he hid in the basement to avoid me until he thought I was gone and came out only to find that I was coming back in the house... HA!  Oh well.  We'll never be friends again, at least not like we were, but we can at least be friendly or civil.  Silly man...

Pizza and rockband! Kaden came and spent the night.

The next day Kristi and I got up and went to the Farmers Market where I bought this really awesome art.  I wanted the Labyrinth original SO BAD, but just couldn't part with $300.  Sad day.

Then we went for Raman, and afterwords everyone went their separate ways and I enjoyed a blissful evening in, and then most of Sunday crafting at home alone. It was nice and relaxing.

So how was your weekend?
