We've Never Been More Proud of Our Punkins

We have come a LONG way in a short time. Last night, we went to Macaroni Grill for a Mother's Day dinner - a day early to beat the crowds. We had a 6 pm reservation, but of course at 5:45 we discovered that we would not be there by 6 since I had just showered and Heath had not yet. At 6:30, we were gathering our things to head out. The boys were dressed in their adorable Tas and Chance overalls from their Aunt LaLa and Uncle Charles. The boys knew we were getting ready to head to dinner and were patiently waiting for us sitting on the foyer windowsill like little gentleman chatting away with each other.

We arrived at Macaroni Grill about 6:40 pm. We had a slight wait during which I washed Chance's hands and retested his blood sugar. He was high - 306, not a good thing heading into a sit down dinner. I gave him a BG correction. I think the 306 was due to us setting a weekend basal rate, which was 50% lower between 12-6 pm.

We ordered the boys a kid-sized pizza and broccoli. The server gave the boys crayons, which they used to entertain themselves. Then, Heath and I each ordered a nice glass of Italian wine and our dinners.
We all ate and were merry.

There was a nice older gentleman singing Italian songs. The boys both did the "more" sign and said "more, more" so I went over to the gentleman and told him he had a fan base. He came over to our table with shakers, which he gave to the boys and sang more to the boys and told them a story. It was terrific! The whole time while we dined, neither child fussed and were just spectacularly behaved. I could not have asked for a nicer Mother's Day dinner.

Finally, the couple next to us got up to leave and leaned over to Heath and said, "It was a pleasure dining next to your boys. They were so well behaved." The sense of pride was overwhelming for both me and Heath! Our our hard work is paying off!!!

When we got home, we put our little punkins to bed and watched a great movie that John and DeDe recommended - 'A Good Year'. I had a glass of port. Besides being proud of our boys, one of the best things about this weekend was SLEEPING! Both Friday and Saturday night Chance was in perfect range so we slept both nights since we have finally gotten his basal rate sorted out.

Friday night, we went to see John Prine at Koka Booth with Ladonna and Charles, which was fantastic. Bill and Kymberly and their boys babysat for us - THANK YOU!
