A Long Weekend...

Well, this past weekend was one of the most relaxing and restful in a long time.  We had nothing on the calendar and the forecast was calling for wind chills around -30 degrees.  Kyle started a fire at 7:30 am on Saturday and we pretty much  had one going until Monday night.  We played games, read, watched some football, played dolls & Barbies.  I think the only times that I left the house were for Mass and to pick up one of Annie's friends for a sleep-over.  Talk about wonderful!  (Actually, we relaxed so much that Annie's Hip Hop dance class was forgotten on Monday night!)

On the horizon for this weekend, Kyle returns from a 3 day meeting and will need to attack the mail that accumulates.  Friday night, we'll go to a pasta dinner at our parish and get to a sneak preview of the renovations that have been going on since last summer.  John & Annie take a standardized test Saturday morning.  John begins his architecture class at the Art Center in the afternoon.  I'm sure that I'll be assisting Katie and Erin in constructing their "100 Day" Posters!  That means gluing on cotton balls, q-tips, pasta and all sorts of things.  We'll do our best to showcase our creativity.  Then, Sunday begins Catholic Schools Week.  Erin and Annie will be classroom ambassadors and I think I get to man the Home & School Association information table.
