Weekend

Thursday afternoon, we met my mom and picked my nephew up. We were looking forward to some outside (park, zoo, etc.) play time. Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend. Thursday evening, we attempted to go to Duck, Duck Goose. However, it was crowded and three fussy kids who did not want to shop were not having it so I didn't get to find any great deals.
Friday morning, we had Easter pictures made, which turned out wonderful. We attempted to find new eyeglasses for me and Pumpkin Pie but could not find any we liked. We had an eye appointment that afternoon and thank goodness my eyes are not getting worse. Sorry to say that is not true for Pumpkin Pie and we are on the hunt for cute new glasses for her again! We stopped by McDonald's after the eye doctor for a job well done- all three kids being well behaved just does not happen that often. We played inside the remainder of the afternoon but the kids didn't seem to mind (since the rain kept us in).
Saturday, I attempted to purge some stuff in my room and made quite a bit of progress. The kids had to stay inside yet again but played together well and I even got the privilege of playing with them some. As you may recall, I am often excluded from play time because I am not much fun (according to the girls). We took my nephew home that evening and stopped by my grandparent's for a delicious supper. I love having visits with my nephew and my grandparent's so that made the week great.
That brings me to today...my husband hit the snooze (or so I thought) and we woke up too late for church. Of all the days my kids decide to sleep in, it would be on a Sunday. We went to Target though (needed some basics) and headed back home to do some more cleaning. I decided that since I didn't have my vehicle right now, it would be a good time to clean out the garage. I have a neat pile of things that I am purging and the garage is ready for it's baby to come back home. Afterward, I took a nap and again, my husband did not wake me up until 6:30 (guess what time church starts!). So I played Wii with Sweet Pea this evening!
Matt's dad is off of Life Support and should be moved to a regular hospital room tomorrow. He is recovering much faster than the doctor originally predicted, which is a good thing for Matt's mom. She has been under so much stress.
So it is back to a normal week...the girls go back to school, I have to work a full five days, and we are back to the regular running around (music lessons, basketball games, doctor's appointments, etc. the list goes on and on). Not exactly the spring break we had hoped for but overall, I can't complain.
