Mommy Brain Reports on – I Made It! and BJ's Brewhouse

For Mother’s Day this year, I wanted to go back to a place called I Made It. It’s a super fun place in Elk Grove right off of Highway 99 where you can paint all kinds of ceramic crafts, or make mosaic things! They have all the supplies you need, you just show up and pay a nominal studio fee, and item prices. It’s totally cool. I’ll share more about it later! Monkey See and Monkey Do each painted a mug and a little tag-a-long to put in the bottom of the mug. I made a really cool salad bowl, and a heart plate with the girls’ hand prints on it. Daddy made an awesome serving dish for his “Atomic Buffalo Terds”. I seriously can not wait to pick everything up in a week or so. After all of our fun, we had to eat! We stopped over at BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse. We’ve driven by the one by our house so many times, and just never stopped in. WOW! We were super impressed! The girls each got a cheese pizza kids meal, and Daddy and I got Pasta. His was the Chardonnay Shrimp Pasta, and mine was the Grilled Chicken Pasta. The food was soooo good! Everyone ate and even had enough to bring home for dinner later! The service was pretty good, considering the place was quite busy. Monkey See kept saying she was sleepy, so we came home, and everyone (except Daddy) took a nap. Daddy volunteered to do some cleaning around the house, and prepare everything for movie night. Yes… The end to a perfect day… We ate our leftovers for dinner, and yum! Even reheated, everything was good. I took the girls upstairs for a quick bath, and got them changed into their Princess jammies. We all came back downstairs and set up the aero bed, popped some popcorn in our hot air popper, and got our pillows ready. We rented Alvin and the Chipmunks, and let me tell you.. It was such a cute movie! The girls LOVED it. They got up and danced to all of the music. I don’t know how they did it, but they stayed awake for the entire movie. I guess when it’s good, it’s good… LOL They finally went to bed around 11pm… and we have to get up early to go to church tomorrow morning. That’s going to be interesting… We’re taking Meemaw and Peepaw out to breakfast tomorrow.. I know the girls are going to have fun, and probably forget all about being sleepy… Happy Mother’s Day to all of you Moms out there… You are all very amazing and special. I hope you all have an absolutely wonderful Mother’s Day… although.. taking one day to celebrate something we do every day just doesn’t seem fair.. LOL.. Cheers!
