Quiet Sunday

Well when we got home from church today I put Lotti up in bed and went and layed down on the couch! I couldn't believe how fabulous that felt! I was laying there thinking "Ahhhhhhhhhhhh...peace and quiet for at least 2 hours on this comfy couch, not thinking about food (fasting) and kids playing super mario bros while they snack". It really was divine, something I never do for myself! Half way through my rest the phone rang and it was Sean's secretary asking if I was ok to have the missionaries over for dinner. I really should just learn to keep food around for Sunday meals as this is what usually happens. Luckily I do have a few things that I can whip together (including nana buns that are rising right now!) so no worries.

Friday night I went to a jewelry party hosted by my friend Jen. It was featuring jewelry from Lia Sophia and it was awesome! I spent a little too much and I can't wait to get my peices! Saturday morning I got up right after Sean's alarm went off (645) since the sleep in Saturday morning doesn't exist around here! The kids and I had a little breakfast and then wandered down the street to the various yard sales. I was actually really proud of what we found, lots of cute stuff for the kids. I found a cute baby blow up pool that the girl told me was originally 75 bucks (which I just saw on Costco.ca) but she was selling it for 15 since it was 2 years old. Sweet deal I think...then I get it home and blow it up? Ya, a couple holes that I will now have to find! Who sells things that have holes in them and doesn't advertise? arg...cute pool though so I'll have to fix it up.

Then in the afternoon I took the 3 older kids to the movies and we met up with some friends and we saw Shrek. Very cute movie, but I still think Shrek 2 was the funniest. After they came over for a BBQ and it was yummy! The kids played in the pool a bit and we had a good time.

I love weekends like that. The next couple weekends Sean is working on Saturday so they'll be lonely for a bit, but the last Saturday this month we're heading up to TO to go to the temple so I'm looking forward to that day. It's been a LONG time.

I just got my 2009 book in the mail and it's fabulous as usual!

Some of our yard sale finds: Bella Ballerina kit with bar, learning mat, tutu (that turns up?) and slippers, dora vanity, cute little bench, phonics letters.
