We had a very good weekend! Jeff came home Friday afternoon and I was able to get a bunch of my cross-stitching worked on while he and the kids played games. I didn't really feel very much like making so we had some Mickey Mouse Chicken Nuggets and Kraft Macaroni and Cheese. Not my finest nutritional moment-but I was exhausted and pretty much done for the week. I was so looking forward to sleeping in on Saturday-and of course, Hayden got up at 7:15. I find it perpetually annoying that he sleeps AFTER 8 on the days that I get up at 5:30 and on the days I can sleep until 9 or whenever I want- he is up with the sun. It's just one of nature's cruel jokes, I guess. Jeff and I tell him that we can't wait until he is a teenager and wants to sleep because then we are going to roll him out of bed every morning at 5:30.
Saturday we just hung around the house. I did a bunch of stitching and knitting, the kids got to play their video games, Jeff played with his phone...we all watched "The Wizard of Oz" together because the kids have never seen it. It was really funny because they kept asking what was the matter with the color for the first thirty minutes of the movie. Then when Dorothy arrived in Oz, Hayden said, "Oh, there it is! It finally fixed!" Which of course, we all found pretty funny. Mom decided to make some cinnamon rolls that evening so I made some orange cream cheese frosting to go on them. Then I scrambled some eggs and cooked some bacon and that's what we had for dinner on Saturday.
Jeff and the kids and I got up and went to church Sunday morning. I'm always excited for our Sunday services. Even though the weather was really rainy and nasty. Jeff and I are starting a marriage class through our church and I'm really looking forward to that. It's always nice to spend time with people who help lift you up. After church, we had to make a run to Rutland because Jeff needed some last minute stuff for his one acts this weekend. We picked some stuff up at Wal-Mart. I got a new workout dvd. It was only $6 and it has three 10 minute workouts for abs and cardio. I did one of them after we got home and it was really awesome! We also stopped off at Home Depot and ate lunch at Burger King and filled up the van with gas. All the while, the weather was deteriorating rapidly. The loads of rain started turning into a nasty mix of sleet and freezing rain and snow. The temperature dropped, so the water that was on the roads started to freeze. By the time we got home, there was about an inch of snow and it has kept going all night. We are supposed to have two feet when its all said and done. It's pretty much a mess.
However, because we were home and tucked safely away we were able to get SO much accomplished! The kids cleaned their rooms, we cleaned the whole rest of the house and vacuumed all the rooms, the dogs got dry baths and their teeth brushed, and all the laundry got washed. We even had time to watch a movie at the end of the night. We had "Case 39". It was creepy, but pretty good. Or, I guess, not as awful as I expected it to be! So, despite the nasty weather, we had a really great weekend! I'm hoping that it moves over into the week because Jeff has his shows this weekend, so there are still many things to get done!
