As usual, my weekend went by too fast, even though there was an extra day. It was very full. There were numerous moments where I was consciously aware to enjoy the moment. It doesn't get any better than that.
I got the chance to sew up some bags, which is always fun. I had to get reacquainted with richelle because my other machine is in the shop (boo). Man, I love that industrial machine. It really doesn't compare to my other one, but the convenience of sewing at the kitchen table usually wins out, so Richelle gets forgotten upstairs in the sewing room.
Speaking of my kitchen table, I did some rearranging on Saturday. I did a swaparoo with tables in my living and dining areas. Now we have more room to eat and more room lounge. I think it was a win-win, but I'm still getting used to it. Now that my table quilt no longer fits on the table that is in my dining area, I may need something new. No, it never ends, but I'm not complaining.
We also celebrated a birthday. Lily turned 8 on the 24th. Wow. In some ways it seems like she was just born yesterday, but in others it feels like she's been with us forever. She's a special girl, no doubt. For her gift she wanted to go on a shopping spree with me. so we did. We had a fun time and I realized how grown up she is for only being 8 - lord help me! After or shopping trip we celebrated some more with family over cake and ice cream.
Today we made it to the movies. Alex and Lily thoroughly enjoyed Night a the Museum 2, but Ava fell asleep half way through, which was fine with me because then I could actually watch the movie. She's still a bit of a challenge at the movie theatre, but it's getting better.
As I was loading wet clothes into the dryer, it dawned on me that today is Monday - bench monday - and I hadn't taken a photo yet. Shoot! So, I quickly hopped on the ottomans. Now I'm trying to get my too-wound-up kids settled down and into bed. It's been a long weekend that went by way too fast. Yes, too, too fast.
