Friday night, we went to Symphony on the Prairie with my family. We had an awesome time. The baby was snoozing on people's laps, my nephew was doing his crazy dancing, and DH and the kiddo went over to the side and tossed the football. It was the music of Billy Joel and Elton John. They played pretty much everything except Crocodile Rock and Tiny Dancer. The singer was a guy that was in "Movin' Out".
Saturday-We woke up SUPER early and went to Sam's (since DH's job provides our membership, we get in for the early bird hours, 7am-9am. It was dead, so we made it in and out in 25 min with everything we needed for DH's party). After that we went to Meijer for a few odds and ends that we didn't need in bulk. We got the kiddo to football practice, where DH's uncle met us and then headed to my IL's house to set up.
While we're setting up, DH gets a call from BIL but he was trying to get teh v-ball net up, so he blew him off. DH went around front, like, 20 min later. He was getting stuff out of our car and this car pulls up. It's same as my sister's car, just a different color. So DH's all, "Why would J and M (Sis and BIL) be here this early?! and isn't their car...gold?" BIL and SIL jump out of their car. They told NO ONE in the family that they were driving in from NC for DH's Grad Party. Best surprise ever. DH's entire weekend was made.
After that we finished setting up. Hung out with the fam that was in town from OOT. DefConn wouldn't sleep for anything. People started showing up and there were a LOT of people who'd never seen/met DefConn. And a few of them brought gifts for him, which was so nice.
The party was great. Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves. I think I got around to everyone to talk to them. Made plans for a couple of girl's nights. The only thing was since the baby wasn't sleeping, I spent a lot of time inside holding him and trying to get him to calm down and sleep. But oh well, I still feel like I socialized enough.
Towards the end of the night, it was determined that DH and BIL weren't going to leave each other, so SIL came back to stay at the house with me and the baby. The kiddo wanted to stay at my IL's too. We hung out talking until about 1:30am.
Yesterday-SIL and I got back to my IL's before 10am. Being the awesome wife I am, I brought DH coffee, deodorant, his toothbrush, and new underwear. I didn't want to smell him, LOL.
We had breakfast with all the out of towners. We then had to clean up the backyard from the party. After that, DH and BIL went out to shop for guns because DH wants a new one. I took a nap. We got home around dinner time, cleaned house and just hung out.
I played hooky today because the baby, nor I, slept well last night. I think we both need a chill day. I have laundry to do and need to mop my kitchen floor. But we're currently cleaning out the DVR.
I'm so glad BIL came as a surprise to DH. It just really made his whole weekend. He was just cheesing all weekend.
