Weekend Review

Our weekend went like this:

After dinner on Friday Lefty, Lady Bug and I ran some errands, one of which was the grocery store, while Mr. Man and Spirit drilled holes in tiles (I'll explain more on that in a minute). After we got home and unloaded everything, I popped some popcorn and the kids found a movie to watch. We rolled out sleeping bags and got them settled in to watch the movie.

Saturday morning Spirit and Mr. Man left the house about 7:00 am to go run a 5k to raise money for Alzheimer's. I cleaned house in preparation of a craft party I was having at my house at 1:00 pm. Spirit got home about 9:30 and then Mr. Man had to go to work. The kids and I ate breakfast and then finished cleaning up the house.

People started showing up about 12:30. Some of the women brought snacks and I made some snacky foods. We had a great time! Do you think I thought to take pictures? Of course not... not until everyone was gone! Oh well. We made a clock using a 12x12 floor tile, some vinyl and a clock mechanism (click here to see a picture of it)! It turned out very cool and it was a lot of fun! We ate, we crafted, we ate some more, we gabbed, we laughed and then ate again! There ended up being about 9 or 10 of us total - it was a good mixed crowd, some crafty, some not crafty at all and then some middle of the road girls. This craft was easy enough for everyone! The purpose was to sort of get a jump on some Christmas gifts. We may or may not end up doing another one in October, we'll see. Some expressed an interest in it so we'll see!

Sunday, Spirit and I spent 3 hours cleaning his room. We ran to Walmart and picked up a couple under bed organizers and a bed side table, both on clearance! WOOT! I was very proud of my pack rat - he threw stuff away! YAY!!! He made me laugh a few times because he would say, "Why in the world did I save this?" While we cleaned Lefty and Lady Bug played games for a little while, then they pulled out one of Lefty's train sets and played that together. We experienced some cooler weather yesterday so it was a good day to stay indoors!

We are experiencing rain and wind today so I am thinking tonight I am making us potato soup for dinner.... yum!!!
