My parents got us a new bbq as a gift just this past Christmas. It's a gas bbq so my dad and brother also had to pipe in the gas line so we would have something to power our beautiful new bbq. Today was the payback dinner. We've been trying to plan it for a while but trying to work around 3 shift workers is definitely difficult. Of course we made the plans for the dinner BEFORE I was up until 1am the night before and BEFORE we knew that Anth wouldn't be home from his night shift until 1pm that day (he had to go sell tickets for the Harley Davidson raffle at Costco) and BEFORE Carson decided to get up at 7:30am that day!! haha Needless to say I was TIRED and still had to clean the house, make dinner and take care of 2 whiny babies! Today was NOT a great day in the world of being a mom. If one of the boys wasn't whining, the other was and the FIGHTING was crazy!! Whenever one of the boys takes a toy away from the other the screaming that goes on is just insane! Anyways, I got a little motivation and it all went off without a hitch! We had steak, salad, and sweet potatoes for dinner and then Angel Food cake with peaches and whipped cream for dessert - YUMMY!! I have to say that the best part of the meal was the steak for sure. Anth did an amazing job with the steaks - probably one of the best steaks I've had in a long time and the best steak he has ever cooked! Once dinner was over we played with the boys for a while. I'm not sure if all babies are like this but they LOVE balls. Any size, shape, kind they love them. They will both carry one or two around with them while they are crawling around and playing. It looks hilarious actually because they carry them in their hands and then crawl on the balls - they kind of look like gorillas!! haha I couldn't get a good picture of that because as soon as the camera comes out they sit up.
Carson was being a little clingy tonight and still a little whiny so I decided to see how he liked riding on my shoulders. He actually thought it was hilarious! Anth put Gav on his shoulders too so the boys could look at each other (which they usually think is funny) but Gav didn't enjoy it as much.
When the boys went to bed we all played a game of UNO. Anth was the first one out and I was right behind in points but then the underdog rose up!!! haha I didn't end up winning but I did come in second!! For those of you who know UNO - I was in the 400's for points and my mom, dad and Bran were still in the 200's and I beat my mom and dad and only went out when Bran had 442!!!
It was straight to bed once the game was over. Both Anth and I were so tired! I LOVE sleep!
