A Weekend Recap

Good Morning my friends!

I hope you all had a great weekend! Mine was a good mixture of work and relaxation, in just the right amounts. 

Saturday I worked half a day at the library and then rushed home so we could get to our grandson's birthday party at 2:00, where we enjoyed seeing all of our kids and grandkids in one spot. We had yummy cake and lots of hugs and kisses by the time the day was over. 

Sunday we had some errands to do, such as a grocery pick up and putting a "for sale" sign out by the road where our house is for sale. Someone stole the realtor's sign last week, so we bought our own sign (that's actually more visible) and stuck it at the end of the road. Who would steal a realtor sign? What are you going to do with that thing? 

We got some delicious lunch from Texas Roadhouse, which is not too far from us. They had given me a free appetizer as a birthday treat, so we ordered a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and gravy and a salad, plus the appetizer. When we picked it up and brought it home, we noticed the salad was missing, so poor David had to go back and get it. In the meantime, I split the food between our two plates and waited on him to get back. THEN we had a delicious lunch for a minimal amount of money and it was just enough for the two of us. 

After lunch I decided to make some Rice Krispie Treats. For some reason those just popped into my mind that day, so I ordered all the ingredients with my grocery order and got extra so I could take a pan to Collin and Morgan. I had forgotten how sticky those things are! I didn't use the marshmallow creme, but actually melted the butter and real marshmallows in a pot on the stove. Then poured in the 6 cups of cereal and....oh my goodness! It was a workout to stir those things! But I got it done...twice! and made two pans of them and they were delicious!

While the treats were cooling, David and I decided to rearrange the living room, in order to open up some floor space. When we had family dinner last week, we realized that our current floor space was not enough for all of us and especially because the kids want to play right in the middle of all the grown ups. So instead of leaving space behind the couch for toys, we moved the couch all the way back and stored the toys elsewhere. 

I like the floor space it's given us, but I'll have to get used to the empty look of the other side of the carpet. It definitely makes the room feel more spacious though. 

Here's our little Spider Man, Calem. He's 3 years old today and all boy! He's all about spider man right now, so he had the cutest little party and got lots of spider man toys and pjs to last for a while. I have always loved the dress up phase of childhood. It's so fun to see them using their imaginations as they play. 

Calem is surrounded by girls (he has 4 sisters), so he needs all the super powers he can get 😅 Actually, he's pretty much the star of the show and gets lots of hugs and attention from all the little mommies in the house. 

Well, today is a work day for me. The library is open today and since it's a holiday for others, we might be busy, which is always a good thing. I have found that I love helping people find the books they're looking for and talking about the books they've chosen. I'm still amazed at the older women who come in and take 10 books at a time and read all of them within 3 weeks. AND the fact that they still drive themselves to the library at the age of 92! We have several of those and I just find it a bit scary and fascinating 😅

I hope you have a great day and a productive, calm, cool week. That's a good combination, in my opinion.

Until Next Time...

Blessings!
