busy weekend

we had a crazy weekend....trying to balance family activities, responsibilities and the penguins....wow....it's been a wacky weekend....max and i crashed at 730 last night...

friday was the series kick-off so chris went with my brother and their friend dan to the arena to watch it on the big screen outside...apparently everyone in the free world was there so they ended up at a sports bar...max and i relaxed and played games. we had a fun night....saturday i went to the special olympics all day with some of our students from school. it was a terrific experience. i really like all of the staff from my school that volunteered so it was a fun day. max dragged chris to the dinosaur exhibit again. he loves those dinosaurs right now. all he talks about is big dinos, little dinos, "carivores" and his personal favorite the "t-rex". he is enthralled by the history museum and has gone at least 2 times a week for the past month....he begs for it every time we drive through oakland. he just started this new interest about two months ago. he still loves his trains and cars but dinos have become very important. 

sunday was  a fun mother's day. we walked and chris ran for "race for the cure". we had another great time with wpsd (my school---western pa school for the deaf) pal's and stacy joined up too. altogether we probably walked 5-6 miles instead of the standard 3.2 of a 5K because parking was tricky....then we ALL got together with my parents and chris' parents. it's so cool when we can all get together....some fun gifts too. roses, pictures, a great book from max, and a target giftcard. we are all big with gift giving...we still do easter gifts, valentines, christmas, birthday, etc...i know a lot of families stop doing that when you are adults but none of us can stop...we love it too much...

no pictures right now...but i'll add some soon....happy belated to all you mama's...
