Its Friday!

tgif.

Just made a pitcher full of margaritas and I'm good to go. What a week.. as fast as it went, I thought the weekend would never get here. Last weekend was spent with Jeff on a weekend retreat, and me holed up in the house with the girls. Saturday morning I woke up with the worst cold. Ever. It was made worse by the fact that I had two soccer games to attend, and two mouths to feed 6 meals to on my own. Single moms, I both admire and feel for you. Being sick and not having anyone around to help... it was awful. By Monday night, I was finally over it and the crazy week could officially begin.

(One ray of light last weekend... before I woke up sick, I spent Friday evening with my good friend Rebecca and her two sweet, sweet girls. Lainey had so much fun playing, and I had so much fun trying a new drink (or two?!) and getting in some fun girl talk. It was much needed, and so much fun.)

A highlight of the week was all the time we spent outside. Snow angels last week, hop scotch this week. I'll post pictures once I get them downloaded. I made a chalk hopscotch game for the girls in the driveway and I swear they did it 100 times. Gracie loved it... she can't quite jump, but she would belly laugh every time she galloped over the numbers. She had me laughing so hard, it was hilarious to see her having sooo much fun with something so simple. I see lots of hopscotch in our future next week with spring break. And I'm getting equipped for the week of no school:

* Easter cookie dough bought today, in the shape of pink rabbits. I can stretch the fun out with icing and sprinkles.

* Wooden craft projects to paint from hobby lobby. (thanks rebecca for the idea!)

* Will attempt to dye easter eggs. I haven't done this in years. And never by myself, preparing the eggs and all. I don't even know where to start!

* Krispy kreme one morning. The girls spend FORever watching the donuts being made. The last time I took them, I didn't even get a donut. Now that's discipline. (some might say crazy). Will try to be good this time too.

* Anything else I can come up with between now and Monday, I will plan it. Anything to keep them from zoning out in front of the tv all week, because that's what they'll do if I let them. Taking Lainey to see Horton Hears a Who is definitely on the list, and I'm not sure whether Jeff or I will win that one on who gets to go. Neither of us have been to the movies in so long, we couldn't care less what we see!

That sums it up... I'm heading outside to join the rest of the gang and start enjoying this crazily (is that a word?) beautiful night. Have a great one!
