Weekend with Grandma

The weekend was good. My mom came down to visit and we all had a nice time. Unfortunately the baby is still a bit to little to really get out and go do lots of "fun stuff" but we all survived. We went to the park on sunday and walked around and played on the playground (pictures will be forthcoming, hopefully later tonight). We went down the slides and sat on those horse thingys that bounce back and forth and Little E sat up in the grass and then with Papi's remote control truck....and by RC truck I mean a giant gas powered vehicle that can go upwards around 35 mph and WILL break your ankle should you decide to get in its way....we had a good time. SAturdy night after the baby was in bed me and the hubby got to go to dinner while my mom stayed home with the baby. I was all excited as this was the FIRST time we were going out alone without the baby where we werent going to some sort of party or other event with other people. Our first time alone....to talk and share each others company and revel in the silence. Unfortunately were were so tired our converstion stalled after "so what are you going to eat?" but it was nice none the less... of course it didnt help that we called ahead for seating but were still expected to wait 30 minutes anyways. I dont mind waiting...as long as thats what i'm expecting to do, but calling ahead should guarantee a wait time of no more than 10 minutes. the kicker was that a couple walked in directly behind us without calling ahead and had THE EXACT SAME WAIT TIME! why do you have call ahead seating if it doesnt make a difference?? so that added to the frustration but in the end it all worked out..we ate some food and then went home to bed.
On another note all of FLorida is under a tornado watch until 11pm...awesome. Hurricanes arent quite bad enough they decided to throw in a few tornados too. I've never actually seen a tornado and while I think it would be interesting to watch I would prefer them to grace someone else with their prescence...at least with hurricanes there is ample warning and shudders to protect the house...tornados just kind of creep up on you out of nowhere and hopefully you come out all right. Lets hope we see none of those tonight.
