The kids and I had a pretty good weekend. Friday we took Splott to the vet, and I fixed dinner at home. I fixed bbq ribs that the kids raved about, so I will have to do that again sometime. We watched "Bedtime Stories", and they really liked it. Friday evening, Theresia and Rachael came over and we hung out. The kids played and Logan sacked out about midnight. As usual I think the girls didn't go to sleep until wee morning. That's ok, it's fun for them to do that, and Lexie really needs some social time with a girl her age without little brother around sometimes.
We got up in the morning and Lexie reminded me that it was the first Saturday of the month--Home Depot Workshop day! The kids love doing that, and got to make wheel barrow planters for Mother's Day. After that, we went to Oxmore Mall. They have a large indoor playground where the kids can burn off some energy. It was still too wet Saturday for the park. We walked around the mall and I sprung for bottles of drink when they got hot, and then a short session in the mall massage chairs. They had fun with that. Lex and Logan got a card at Hallmark for their mom to go with the planters, and Rachael borrowed a couple bucks while Theresia wasn't looking so that she could get something. Then it was lunch time. We went to McDonalds and Lexie rode with the girls and Logan and I took the Alero. They got there before us, and Theresia got us lunch. We went to the McDonald's with the play land, of course--more calories burned there than taken in I think! It's not like you can have a conversation or anything because of the enclosed glass room with tons of screaming kids, but it's still nice to know they're having a blast. Theresia kept my "no carb" rule in mind too. She got me a chicken salad--then gave me the meat off a burger too.
Sunday we just sort of goofed off, played some games, watched a little TV. Around 5pm, I told them we could play another game, so we started to set up, and Lexie says "Oh no! I can't!! My homework is not done!" I was so proud of her for remembering. She got all her Monday homework done, plus practiced her spelling words by writing them 5 times each, then worked for a while on her report on famous Kenuckian: Diane Sawyer. We goofed around a little after she put in her time and I told her how proud I was of her to put her work first.
This morning, she got ready for school quickly, ate breakfast and wrote her words again.
