Week in Review ~ 5/17

Last week's high points were Mother's Day and the following weekend.  The week part was routine with nothing too exciting.

Mother's Day followed our crazy Friday night and Saturday of dress rehearsal, dance recital and wedding.  Ned got up with the kids but I wasn't able to go back to sleep.  Who can sleep when these beauties are calling for breakfast?  Mimi and Vincent had been at the beach and brought Duck Donuts home on Saturday.

The kids and Ned had cards and gifts, which meant that someone wasn't listening.  I had requested a gift a month earlier and knew it would be arriving during the week.  We got ready and went to church where Avery sang and played the bells.  We had 2nd Sunday lunch at church with Mimi then came home so that the kids would nap.  I thought it would be a good idea to try for pictures right before nap.  It actually wasn't the best.

After the kids napped, Ned took them to deliver Mimi's present.  We then picked up dinner and headed to my parents'.  We had a good visit and my mom's favorite present was a lap full of babies.

During the week, we played golf, had our last dance, and stayed busy.

Friday was exciting not just because it was Friday, but because it was package day.  Window treatments for the family room and my Mother's Day present arrived.  I saw this sign awhile ago on a blog and knew I needed it.  I told a friend that if I couldn't tattoo this line on my arm, then I would have to hang it in my breakfast room.  I've never been one to buy decorative things for a house, especially for the wall.  I moved into Ned's house filled with duck prints, then we lived in a rental, and now we are starting to add things to this house.  Usually I second guess myself, but not with this.

Saturday was spent working in the yard, playing, and grocery shopping.  After naps we went to Lowe's to pick up some things for outside and also to look at washers and dryers.  We are having horrible issues with our 2-year-old washer, and it looks like it will be cheaper to buy a new machine.  To take the sting off of that blow, we had dinner at Chick-fil-A and a treat at Sweet Frog.  That's one of our favorite summer nights out, and it's so wonderful to know that summer will soon be here.
