daddy's birthday weekend

Last weekend, it was my husband's birthday.  He had been out of town for a few days for work and returned home on Friday.  His birthday was Sunday.  Since he was out of town, I didn't have time to buy his presents before he returned from his trip.  So on Saturday after Bob's soccer practice was over, I let him have quality time with the boys while I went shopping. 

On the way home from the mall, I stopped and got food for the boys.  I really wanted to take my husband to a steak house that is very close to our house.  The only problem with that restaurant is that you are always there for at least 90 minutes.  That is way too long for the boys.  I decided to order our favorites and got it to go. 

The boys were already fed, so my husband and I had a very nice private dinner in our theater room.  After dinner, I suddenly felt ill, so I went to bed.  The boys and my husband went back downstairs and enjoyed guy movies. 

The next day was my husband's actual birthday.  As soon as he woke up, we gave him his presents.  We got him some war movies, a Star Trek collection, a Frankenstein doll and a work bag.  Shortly after the boys ate lunch, we packed up the car and went to Bob's soccer game.  SJ never likes going to soccer, but I make him go to the home games. 

When we got to the fields, the concession stand wasn't open.  That was a shame, since my husband was looking forward to a hot dog (I know, it is surprising!).  He and SJ left to get him some fast food.  They made it back to see the second half.  SJ wasn't focused on the game, since he was into his 3DS.  Not matter, they lost anyway. 

After the game, we drove back home.  I went with my parents, who came to watch Bob's game.  I needed to stop at Dairy Queen to pick up his birthday ice cream cake.  I also had my parent's pick up my husband's favorite pizza from a local pizza shop where we grew up. 

We all had the pizza for dinner.  Everyone but SJ had the cake for dessert (he doesn't like ice cream).  We watched "Lincoln" with my parents and they left when it ended.  It was fairly late, so the boys got on their pajamas and got ready for bed.  I am glad my husband was able to enjoy his birthday.
