Weekend Recap

The weather has been fabulous today. The kids and I spent a few hours in the backyard enjoying the sunshine.
Its been a pretty good weekend.
Friday the girls were out of school and I convinced Taylor to leave us the car so that we could get out of the house for a bit.
The kids voted to go to the Library. We haven't been for months. I enjoyed being in such a relaxed environment flipping through all the board books with Mattie while the girls picked out there own assortment. All three of them put on a puppet show and I even got a book on tape to listen to when I am driving to and from work. (I have piles of books here at home that I need to catch up on so I didn't get anything else).
When we got home we made peanut butter cookies together. We spent the night hanging out and watched Mr Magoriums wonder Emporium. It was very cute.
Yesterday (Saturday) after spending half the day playing outside and the other half cleaning out closets I got to go scrapbooking with a bunch of friends. It was so nice to sit back and be creative, and I am pleased to announce that I have finished Matt's first year book! yeah! Now each child has their birth story and entire first year scrapbooked, completed, and in their box.
I'm doing a lot less scrapbooking now that I've got this blog.
My intent for scrap booking was to journal through pictures, so that the kids would have something to look back on, and now that I have the blog, I can post pictures AND write more about what is happening on a daily basis..... well, And then some.
Someday I'll put it all together and it will be a book for the kids to look back on and see what we did. It might not be as pretty but atleast its something........ Or at least they'll see how much I suck at punctuation.
When I got home around 11:30pm the girls were still awake in our bedroom watching TV. Taylor was dozing on and off, and I was wide awake. I started flipping through channels and at about midnight a show caught my eye. By then Megan and Taylor were snoring, but Ali and I were getting deeper and deeper into the movie. Every time it would go to commercial we'd groan and I'd ask "should we turn it off?" both of us were hooked and wanted to keep watching. I had my hand on the remote the entire time just in case there was a questionable part in the movie but I never had to change it expect for some commercial breaks that would have made a sailor blush! The movie was Looooong, especially with so many commercial breaks. Before we knew it, it was 3 o'clock in the morning! 4 if you count the daylight savings time change.... We were laughing that it was so late, and I asked Ali what we were going to do when we would be so tired in the morning that we couldn't stand up? It was fun. I liked having that time with her even if the movie WAS a little over her head, and it was 3 in the morning.
I looked the movie up this morning and found that it was Pride and Prejudice. I have never read it, so I hadn't recognized the story line. I quite enjoyed it..

so right now the girls are lying here in my bed watching cartoons, Mattie is asleep, and I'm expecting Taylor home from work in about an hour.
Good weekend..
Hope yours was good too.
