What I love Wesdnesday # 1 (and I realize at 12:36 AM it is actually Thursday!)


I have to start by saying that I love - my very understanding friends! 


I have always been a very "go with the flow" type of person. I am always up for a good time, extremely flexible, and ready for just about anything. Unfortunately, some of that has changed. 


I had plans to meet my good friends Lauren and Erika for breakfast this morning. Erika and I had been texting about where to meet. Our usual breakfast spot is very tiny and would not accommodate my large stroller, which I needed since B&E would be sleeping during breakfast time. After some discussion, we finally agreed on a place. Phew. 


"See you in twenty." Erika texted me. Hmmmm....not so much! I wouldn't even make it out of the house in twenty minutes! With Brett screaming for his breakfast an hour earlier than usual, I honestly wasn't sure when I could meet up. But luckily, Erika and Lauren were very, very understanding. 


After what seemed like an hour later (probably because it WAS an hour later) I arrived at breakfast. I took one look at the cozy booth Lauren was snuggled into and asked the hostess to move us to a different table. How in the HECK was I going to cater to B&E in that tiny booth!? So Lauren grabbed her diet coke - it was lunch time at this point - and Erika grabbed the stroller. We made our way to a much more comfortable table where we could eat breakfast in a little peace with the two cutest babies!! 


We all enjoyed our breakfast and had a great time. The babies were fantastic, as always. I got lots of comments on how adorable and well behaved they are. Don't mind me when I seem unphased by this. I know I have incredibly good looking and well behaved babies :) 


And of course I love that Erika got some great pics on her Palm! 

Emma's pretty smile!

Look at Brett's belly!! Even Emma seems shocked!

Just hanging out!

PS - Didn't I say they would be sleeping during breakfast??? Oh well! 

Gaga ooh la la!

    Recovering from the weekend with two cups of coffee down already.....babies are sleeping in today which always makes me HAPPY!! :)


   Saturday night was the Lady Gaga concert in Tampa and Brian surprised me with two tickets a couple of weeks ago. I was thrilled of course and brought Katie! We had a blast. But seeing Gaga up close (thanks to AMAZING SEATS) wasn't even the best part. It was everything Brian did to make the night so awesome for me!


     First of all...me + girls night out + way too much fun = lots of drinks and no getting behind the wheel of a car!! Brian tried to get us a car service with his work discount but everything was sold out due to 2 concerts (Lady Gaga and Jimmy Buffet) along with it being prom season. So instead I drove his car to Tampa and left it in his work parking lot overnight and Brian made sure we had plenty of cash for a cab ride home.


   Then after the most amazing concert ever - not an exaggeration there! - Katie and I galavanted around the town all hours of the night in an attempt to meet Lady Gaga at a gay bar in Ybor City. We stood in line for about 2 seconds before we realized we were too hungry and needed some food pronto. After we settled our tummies we hopped in a cab and went home. I wonder if Gaga ever did show up at G Bar...does anybody know??


   When I came home Brian was sleeping and so were B&E - he did an amazing job of getting them to bed by himself. I have had to do it by myself quite a few times and I can assure you it can be difficult! I crawled into bed suddenly regretting the last drink (or 2, or 3...) that I had because I knew B&E would be awake soon and wanting to eat! But the night came and went and I woke up at 8:30 to everyone still sound asleep. Lucky them! I had to stumble my way to the kitchen for Advil and then got back into bed. The next time I woke up it was 10:30 and Brian and the babies were downstairs. I could hear him chopping away at some vegetables and when I came down, he was making me an egg white omelet! He had a cup of joe ready for me as well - my hero!!!


    So not only did I get to have a fantastic night out, but I got to come home and SLEEP IN! He was on baby duty all night and morning. I am so lucky to have such a great husband who would do anything for his family. He really is special :)


     After relaxing most of Sunday we went to pick up Brian's car in Tampa, and then had an early Passover dinner at Aunt Phylis' house. Brett and Emma's first sader! Mazel Tov!


    I will leave you with some fuuun pictures! :)
