Mothers Day

For mothers day, we all went over to my mom’s for the traditional mothers day dinner, where the guys grill out and us “mom’s” only have to do “part” of the work. (HA) Anyway…that was a lot of fun, but I was feeling a little under the weather that day, so we ended up leaving for home a little earlier than normal. I found out later, tho, that I should have stuck around. My sister-in-law gave herself and my mother a wonderful mother’s day gift. She found out that she is expecting kid #3. What a surprise it was to all of us…especially her, who truly believed the test was going to come back negative. (her “baby” right now is only 8 months old) Oh well….life is truly full of surprises. Now that the shock of it all has worn off, she is quite happy and excited about the new baby that should grace us with its presence sometime in January. She is hoping for a boy this time, since she already has 2 girls. I honestly hope she has a boy this time too. My brother really needs a son.

Moving on…

Trevor bought us tickets to Derby Dinner Playhouse for my mothers day present. So that is where we were last night. I dropped the kids off at my moms house, met Trevor back here after he got off of work, and then we headed out on the first date we’ve had in a long time. It was nice to actually spend time together without kids underfoot.

The food was pretty good, if you like buffets. We saw “Oklahoma” which was pretty good as well. There were a few parts tho, that they “modernized” for the play and really should have left out. Why do they have to do that? Especially when the original play/movie was not that way.

Example…”Oklahoma” has a dream sequence in it that mostly involves a bunch of music and dancing. Well, in the movie there are some “dance hall girls” who even tho they are dressed like what i call “can-can” girls, they’re not terribly reveling. Well, it was NOT that way in the play. The girls in the play were very horribly dressed for that part. All they would have needed to make them look any worse was a pole (if you catch my drift).

Poor Trevor. I felt so bad. But there was nothing we could do. (Unless we just walked out. But we just bore with it and finished the play) . If they had left out that part or even just covered the girls a little more, it would have been a whole lot more enjoyable. Other than that, the play was pretty funny.

So after realizing that you can’t even see a play anymore without something offensive being in it, we pretty much decided that we are going to be VERY careful about what we see for plays in the future. And that we probably wont be going back to Derby Dinner at all. This is the 4th play we’ve seen there in the time we’ve been married and we’ve been very disappointed with the “modernizations” in 2 of them.

But in the light of things….it was very sweet of Trevor to take me out for mother’s day. I had a great time and hope we can do it again sometime.
