Memorial weekend
It’s Monday-no school, no work and I got to sleep in until 7:40. I must say that was NICE. Yesterday was a lazy day for us- just what we needed. I did start a new painting and came up with an idea to finish the one i am struggling with. I took a nap-it was awesome. We went out to dinner to a new Mexican restaurant. We had a good time but the food and service wasn’t so hot. I caught up on most of my tv shows. [side note here- does anyone else think Desperate Housewives is getting kind of stupid? Terri Hatchers character just annoys the hell out of me now. Her stupidity and stumbling around like a fool is no longer funny- just tiresome and predictable. I'm not sure if I'll watch that in the fall. ER is another one that I may delete from my Tivo. Mick has already given up on this one. I am *almost* ready to do the same. The story line is repeating and honestly, no ER can have THAT much outside trauma.... helicopter falling in front killing a doc, numerous shoot outs, etc....i KNOW it's just tv but still!]
Graham is so sweet i just can’t believe it sometimes. Last night after dinner he decided he was going to use some of his birthday money to treat the family to ice cream. So sweet. I wasn’t going to make him pay but he REALLY had his heart set on it. While we were eating our ice cream at Baskin Robins he said that we deserved a treat because it’s almost his birthday and he wanted to thank us for all his presents. Melts my heart that little one….
I believe the plan for the day is to go down town to Powells- the big book store, then to Mick’s office. The fun center is open on the waterfront- in preparation for the Rose Festival. If it isn’t raining too much we may take the boys there. Have I mentioned how ready I am for school to be out? I’m ready to have the boys home, and to not worry about homework, making lunches, finishing projects, studying for tests….. etc… I seriously don’t remember elementary school being this hard when I was growing up.
off to make breakfast for my sweet boys
