Day 376

Oh how I LOVE Sunday's...even the crazy busy ones. Today was the pizza party for the Hi5 kids who learned all of the monthly hymns. So, Josh took off after church to Incredible Pizza and the rest of us drove around aimlessly trying to figure out what to eat. We are Cafe Adobe burned out! We ended up at Crave Cupcakes. I had heard so much about these cupcakes and so many blogging friends have raved about them. So what is a normally health conscience mom to do? Well, my crave took over! We had dessert before lunch...dessert cost more than lunch. LOL OMG! These cupcakes were to die for! Caleb got the breakfast cupcake and he didn't like it, but he is not a cupcake person. I thought it was good, but a little too sweet for me. Hannah wanted the vanilla over chocolate. She dug in!I did sneak in a little bite and she freaked, but it was so good!!!! I had the red velvet, but shared most of it. I am telling you, it just melted in my mouth. Samantha got the strawberry. It had the strawberry icing and chunks of strawberries inside!!!!It was so good! Much sweeter than we are used to, so none of us actually finished. Then we headed over to the Galleria for lunch. Samantha and Caleb were upset that I wouldn't let them go ice skating (we didn't have that much time). We watched the Zamboni and then watched the skaters for a while. Samantha got a kick out of adults not being able to skate. Then we headed back toward the church. Gas light on....UGH. Well, I finally found a gas station. It was only $0.10 more per gallon than near our house. I had to figure my way through the parking lot to the self serve pump. Really, I didn't even know they still have full service gas stations! As I am sitting there pumping gas I realize there is a rug AND hand sanitizer. I thought it was just too funny to NOT take a picture. I can't say I have ever seen either one of those at a gas station.

Next we headed back to church. The kids played in the Promised Land play area until the kids got back.

Even Mommy had to try the twisty tube slide. LOL

Caleb is such a goof ball

Hannah was in the stoller eating lunch before she ventured in.

Then we went to see Robin Roewe's farwell concert. I was concerned about Caleb and Hannah being able to sit. Luckily there was other stuff going on, so I put Hannah in childcare. During our debate about whether to stay or not (this was overheard by some) Josh tried to convince me that Caleb would just fall asleep if he got still...yet the concert was 1.5 hours. Well, after several attempts at finding a seat that was not good enough for Caleb we found one...it was either that or leave. By the end of the second song he was OUT! He woke up during the ending prayer. LOL The concert was GREAT!!!! He is going to be missed! We went to the reception following, but didn't stay long. Did you read that Caleb slept for almost 1.5 hours. Needless to say, he was wired and ready to go. LOL We made a pretty hasty exit. Finally managed to get home almost 12 hours from the time I left...I am wiped out!
