Mother Daughter Day

Sammie and I attended a mother daughter luncheon at church today. Well, Daniel too. (Matt's in NH this weekend, again.) At first I wasn't at all excited after the morning we had (Well, at least the past hour) and I had a difficult time carrying everything in so I had to make two trips thus stressing me out more!! Once we were all seated and starting to eat. Things did calm down a bit! Sammie got a brownie from one of the ladies b/c she hurt her toe on the way into the church. That calmed her down quite quickly!! Can't imagine why!! I must say after the horrific morning and day yesterday, she was very well behaved! It's amazing how different they are in public than they are at home. I can say that b/c I was the same way! Fortunately, I sat at a table with loving women who graciously helped me with both kids. We played a couple of games and then one of the ladies gave a brief testimonial/words of encouragement! It was a nice time and good to visit with people.

This past week has been busy...with out-of-home activities again. Therefore, we have only gotten a little bit more done...more than we have in the past but not as much as I would have hoped! I am still trying to catch up on laundry...which, I know, never ends!

The only room that is the closest to being declared complete is the kids' room...the kitchen's a close second but not to its best! After the kids go to bed tonight, I will be able to focus a bit more on just putting books and things away! Or put in the yard sale pile!! I'm on my sixth box for that! I've very excited!

Hope you are having a great weekend and enjoying this beautiful weather!! We're going for a walk after our naps!!!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Just want to give a big shout out to all the moms and mommies-to-be (you know who you are!!) in our lives! We are so thankful for all of you! We hope that you all have a blessed day and one that is happy and relaxing!

Matt is off in New Hampshire working on Kayaking shop stuff with Jim! I'm slowing getting some more boxes unpacked and tomorrow, we'll be spending Mother's day with my mom at a half-way point between here and Lancaster, PA! Hope you all have a great weekend!

A sure sign of summer...

...when we go to the last Mommy & Me for the year. Today we'll be heading to the park with our friends from playgroup. Just as a last "Hoorah" for the kids to play together! It makes me a little sad b/c then I have to find a way to fill the two hour slot with another task...just so that it doesn't put a lull in our schedule and make me lazier for the summer. I have three days that are more lax than the other two...I don't really need a fourth! Well, at least I know I can always fall back on unpacking!!! HAHAHA!

Update on the kids...Sammie is doing well. Both of them are suffering like most people around here with allergies. I guess it's the negative of the nice weather! Daniel is also dealing with a double ear infection. He just had one about a month ago too! Poor little guy! He's been such champ!

Hope everyone has a great day! Enjoy the beautiful Sunshine!
