Our weekend was really fabulous...but as always too short! With the kids on the band trip Friday, Andrew and I had the afternoon and early evening to ourselves...no transportation to swim needed. We decided to run to do some quick Christmas shopping, and then enjoy a dinner out. That has become our Friday night routine, although we normally stay in town in between running kids. We didn't have to this time, and especially enjoyed the fact that we had a gift card to use. In fact, while we were at dinner we realized the restaurant had $5 take out that was easily reheated, and that meant we had a good dinner for the kids as well. Bonus!
Andrew picked the kids up and everyone was home by 8:00 Friday evening. I remember walking into my kitchen at that time to pour myself a glass of wine, and thinking how I was pretty sure that was the very best moment of the weekend. It was Friday, still had the entire weekend in front of us, and we were all home and going to enjoy some family time. We watched several episodes of Modern Family, and listened to the kids share their excitement and memories from their day. It was an awesome beginning to our weekend.
Saturday we got to sleep in...another wonderful part to our weekend! Catherine had to be at work early afternoon, and the rest of us spent the day cleaning the house. Our dear friends came from out of town, and we enjoyed the visit.
Sunday we went to church, and Catherine worked again. I made a quick trip to my hometown, then came home and worked on band work. Andrew had made a fire in the fireplace, and worked on school work. Thomas had youth group that evening and I had to run some band errands, and then, as much as we might want to avoid it, it was time to start another crazy week.
