This and That

It's Monday. The first one in the past three weeks that I have had to go to work. I was really getting used to having longer weekends! Even though we only had two days off this weekend, we managed to get a lot done and have a little fun, too. Here's a little glimpse into our weekend...

Friday night was our elementary school's father/daughter dance. M took the girls. Don't they look adorable?

On Saturday, I hosted a Jewel Kade (just love this jewelry...thinking about selling it...like I need one more thing to do) party in the afternoon, which means that I spent the morning cleaning the house. I also decided it was time to bring my mantle into spring. I don't typically change my mantle for the seasons, but I hadn't done anything with it since I took down my Christmas stockings and decorations, so it was looking pretty bare.

I scoured my cupboards and closets for spring-like decor. I also went through each room in the house, searching for items I could use for the mantle. And, added some fresh flowers. Here's what I came up with...

Saturday night was family movie night. The girls chose Monsters, Inc. and Chinese food. Nothing beats dinner and a movie, picnic style, in the living room.

Also, gave O a haircut on Saturday night. He was well overdue for a cut, but we had been putting it off because of our crazy schedule the past two weeks, in addition to him being sick. O tolerates having his haircut now, but it still makes him very uncomfortable. It takes two of us, the proper technology and just the right amount of protective layers (aka towels) to get him through without incident.

I snapped this photo of him following his post-haircut bath. He was all smiles, then.

After church on Sunday, my husband graciously took the dreaded weekly visit to the grocery store off my hands. As a result, this was my view for the afternoon and much of the evening. 

I sat, on the couch, with my laptop, trying to entertain a four-year old boy, while attempting to prepare blog posts, write evaluation reports and record data for reading assessments. 

Another weekend ends and another week begins...
