Weekend

As usual, I try and give you a peak at what the weekend was like around our household. So here goes.

Saturday we headed to the park in Sioux Falls to support our super great friend for a great cause, it was a three mile walk, and with a 30-plus pound kid, it was a workout for ole' mom. But i needed it and treated ourselves to so yummy Mexican later. Headed to the mall afterwards, picked up swimming shorts for Kyle and returned some items at Best Buy. Ella fought to take a nap on the way home, so we watched a new movie I got her and I almost fell asleep instead. Finally, after both Kyle and I laid down with her in our bed, and her sorting the pillows in various orders and moving blankets, looking at our eye balls, we left her be and she finally went to bed. Yeah.

I attend a jewelery party for a MOPs mom at her house not too far from the house, ordered a really cool beaded necklace. I still need to get one from my co-worker, she makes the coolest jewelery from silverware and other items. Anyway, so I met a few people and then began dinner for Kyle and Ella, as I had book club later that night. Ella woke up about a half hour before I left, got her changed, a movie on and munching on crackers as I walked out the door.

Book club was so much fun, I talk to much and am naive to several things they talk about, they much think I live under a rock. But the company was great and I look forward to the next gathering.

Sunday we returned some things, including the shorts I got Kyle, they were too big, and I got some new flip flops at Eddie Bauer (YEAH on sale for $10.00) Kyle got some clothes for the NYC trip. We ate at Hu Hot, a Mongolian restaurant, were you pick out your meat selection, noodles, veggies and sauce, the go around a horseshoe table and watch these cooks cook up your food over a hot stove top. Ella like the veggies and Kyle really likes it too. I like it to and try not to over eat.

After all the shopping and eating, we headed home and Ella and I spent close to three hours pool side in the backyard. We had fun, i even got in her pool with her. Kyle sprayed her with the hose numerous times and she laughed and ran around.

Later, we made a light dinner, worked on laundry and picking up the house, and I got Ella packed for the trip, tonight I will tackle my clothes and work on getting everything lined up to go in the car. I have a list a mile long of things to remember to pack, bring and get ready. Plus we still have no one to pick up the mail and water the plants, though I might solve that by putting the plants in areas that the sprinklers will get them. Need to talk to the neighbors tonight.

Back to work! Fill you in tomorrow.
