Week in Review ~ 1/4

We have had an extremely lazy week with not much going on.  Much of our time was spent at home in our pajamas.  We got dressed if we needed to leave the house, or if the pizza delivery man was coming.  It was a great way to finish up vacation.

 We had a low-key New Year's, taking the kids out to dinner.  We loved the restaurant in the past but found it slightly different this time.  I got Sam out of his high chair while we waited for the bill, and he decided to run to every corner of the restaurant.  Each time I would catch him, he worked on his "Mommy takes my hand, I fall out on the floor" routine.  Several rounds of that resulted in Sam being carted off to the car.  The rest of the night looked like this, with no one seeing the new year arrive.

Avery went back to school Thursday and Friday, and Sam went to Jennifer's Thursday.  I used my free day to attempt getting caught up printing pictures and storing pictures on an external hard drive.  I also enjoyed lunch with Anna and made a trip to the grocery store for a few things.

Saturday afternoon Ned and I headed to Richmond to have dinner and do some shopping.  It was the Christmas of boots for me, receiving Hunters, Uggs, and a gift card for some dressy boots, and I knew it was go now to shop or wait until February.  I ended up having to order the correct size from the store, so hopefully they will work out.  Ned and I had decided to have dinner at The Cheesecake Factory and thought we were doing good getting there a little after 5 p.m.  We still had a 30 minute wait but had a good meal and delicious s'mores cheesecake.  It was much too cold to continue shopping at an open-air mall, so we left to run some errands.  We hit Target for diapers and somehow spent $80.  After that it was  trip to Best Buy, then home.  We were back a little after 9, which is a great date night for me.  The kids did good for Mimi and were sleeping soundly when we got home.
