Labor Day Weekend - DMB and Mom visit


We have had a GREAT Labor Day weekend! My Mom came in on Friday night to visit...which was so exciting for the kids. They woke up Saturday morning and she was there - and they were so excited! Then on Saturday night, I surprised Dail and took him to Dallas to see Dave Matthews Band for our anniversary. He didn't even know where we were going when we left...and he was shocked when we drove out of town. It was a great night, and worked out perfectly that my Mom was here so she could keep the boys. I have to admit I am quite naive about outdoor concerts though - we were surrounded by marijuana - I think the air filled with the fumes as soon as the lights went out! At first I couldn't figure out why everyone around us (who did't seem to know each other) suddenly was sharing cigarettes...then I finally figured it out! I cannot believe that they can get away with that! So, it temporarily dampered my experience, but they ran out of their stash, and I was able to breathe a bit clearer, and enjoy the music. There are only 2 bands that Dail would ever want to see in concert: U2 and DMB. So, I'm glad I got to take him! We spent the rest of the weekend just hanging out - My Mom and I shopped when the kids napped, and we took lots of walks with the boys. It was wonderful!
