Better late than never

With a sick kid at home, I was not very good at blogging over the weekend and though I tried to get caught up on work yesterday, it was still a lot. So today, I recap my weekend in a shorter version. Ella is better now, too!
I feared the weekend would go on forever, being home with Ella on Friday, I don't mean this negative, but when you go solo you are ON all the time. Anyway, we stayed close to home, went out once to pay daycare and pick up a few plants on Friday. Ella's temp was down and she slept in her bed that night, yeah. I made some calls that evening and read.
Saturday, Ella rose as a healed child. With that we made the decision to head to Luverne, MN and see the Buffalo Parade, just a city celebration, but two-year-olds love parades and the candy involved. Following the parade we went to the park where a art/craft show was taking place along with several kid activities. We played in the play ground for a least a hour, going from the swing to slides, she was the master and called out my name to let me know where she was headed next! Ella rode the kiddy train powered by a lawn mower and loved it. She was in a yellow car and was so proud. By this time we have worked off half a day, so we headed home for the ole faithful three hour nap, AWESOME.
Later that day we worked in the yard, planted the flowers and went to the store so i could think about starting laundry. We went to bed a little later than usual, but Ella was in a great mood.
Sunday we headed to church, in which Ella took a nap for half the service in the nursery. We then went to a friends apartment to pick up some makeup, as I didn't think I was willing to take Ella into the same place I broke their entrance door. We went to the mall and got some gifts and then headed to the park by the river. We saw lots of bunnies, I believe South Dakota to be the Bambi capital of the world, they all live here!!!
We then went home, cleaned out the car, got all the milk spots off the seats and vacuumed up numerous crumbs and cereal. Then I attempted to mow the lawn, moving Ella around the house with me so I could keep a eye on her. We made a light dinner and I turned Ella in early to catch the season premier of Army Wives, on Lifetime. It was great.
I ended the weekend with a nice mowed lawn, tiddy house, laundry completed and a healthy girl, not to bad for doing it alone.
