Fun Filled Weekend

Darin's parents arrived Thursday evening for a weekend with us. They came down early to beat the snow storm that was heading our way. Luckily, we only had a dusting and the snow melted by the afternoon. On Friday, Darin and I had to work, so grandma and grandpa R got to enjoy some quite time before we (Madison was at school) arrived home.

On Saturday, we ran a few errands in the morning. Then, grandma and grandpa said they'd take care of Madison so Darin and I went to a movie. We decided to see, "He's Just Not That Into You." Please do not waste your time going to that movie,... not that great. However, we really did not care because we ate and shared popcorn, Barq's root beer and "quiet" time together. We also saw some teenagers make out in the front row which had us laughing.

Madison had sweet potatoes for her Valentine's Day entree. We ordered in Olive Garden and had a great evening. Saturday night, grandma and grandpa took care of Madison. She loves all of the excitement and attention, that she really did not want to go to bed, in fear that she would miss something. But she quickly became over-tired.

Sunday we got out and about, went to church and then went to Prairie Village to walk around. It was a balmy 35 degrees, so we did not stay out too long. Grandma finished a quilt for Madison, it has very colorful animals that really catch her attention. Grandpa and Darin took a "nap."

To celebrate Valentine's Day, grandma and grandpa took care of Madison while Darin and I went out to eat and to see a comedian. We ate at Capital Grill (one of our favorite places) on the Plaza. Then we went to the Uptown Theatre to see Comedian Frank Caliendo. We saw Frank about four years ago in KC. Heard he was back and we got some really awesome seats (center stage, sixth row, great view.). Frank is best know for his impersonations of John Madden, Bill Clinton and President (former) George Bush. His website is http://www.frankcaliendo.com/. Enjoy the great picture from Darin's cell-phone. We bought a few of his DVD's and can't wait to watch them. Our weekend was really awesome.
