I had Thursday-Monday off.

Thursday was a sick day because both boys had outpatient surgery. DS1 had hypospadius repaired (that means he can now write his name in the snow without a slant to it when he is older if you know what I mean). DS2 had a bilateral hernia repaired.

My parents came into town mid day Thursday and watched the boys while wife and I got the house ready for a party on Saturday (it was DW's mother's 60th birthday).

Saturday was the party and my MIL was shocked. We had 60+ people in our house and it was not crowded at all (good thing). That was first time we ever had that many people.

Sunday my wife made saurbraten for dinner and we cleaned up. Actually I took a nap and my wife and parents cleaned up.

DS1 was being fussy on and off all weekend. Never slept thru night at all- side effect of surgery is he has a stint (tube) up his penis, so I guess I don't blame him for being uncomfortable. I took Monday off from work so wife could work all day and I spent day consoling my son.

Wife balanced the checkbook and the $2500 cc bill which included the party on it could be paid in full.

My kids also got to open 5 gifts from people. They now have some toys to play with- they light up, make noise and keep them entertained. The best gift is a Buffalo Bills bean bag which they take naps in now and can climb on.

Both boys also ate their first meal from a high chair yesterday.

Here is one of the photos MIL got as a gift on her 60th B-day. Picure taken when boys were ~7 months old, they are almost 9 months old now.
