But first I had to get through today, which was busy once again.
Before I talk about today, can I just say that I am proud of myself. The dresser that Jacob has for his clothes is an old hand me down from my parent's house. The handles have been falling apart over the past 2 years and I keep meaning to find replacements but something told me that it was going to be really hard to find replacements.
Well after hurting my finger the other night trying to get a drawer open, I had had enough. So I headed over to Lowes and in less than 30 minutes I had all the handles switched out.
His dresser looks so much better now and I am proud of the fact that I got it done myself!
So after getting that minor success yesterday, I geared up for another busy day today. My day went like this:
I got up. Took the kids to school. Went to Walmart to buy my momma a birthday present (I got her a bamboo plant). Then to Kroger for grocery shopping. Then home to put groceries away. Then back out to the kids' school for Battle of the Books meeting. Then back home to meet my sister who was surprising my mom for her birthday weekend. Then off to Allison's for lunch with my mom and sister and my brother came as well. We chose to go to Allison's because they are closing their doors on April 1. The owner is selling the restaurant as her health is declining. The new owners are supposed to turn it into an Italian restaurant. Once I heard they were closing, I have been craving their onion straws as they are so good...so that is what I had. :-)
After lunch, we came back home for a few minutes. Then it was off to pick the kids up for school. They are now officially on Spring Break. Then back home where Rebecca worked on some homework, Ben played a game with my sister and Jacob did his own thing. Then it was time to make dinner---homemade mini pizzas. Before I had to rush out with Rebecca to get her to a game night for her AHG troop. Then home to clean the kitchen up and get the boys. Then back to pick her up.
Now the kids are in bed and I am just sitting down to browse some blogs and relax. Busy, busy, busy is all I have to say. I have a few things scheduled over the next few days that will also keep me busy, but it will hopefully be a fun busy!
Hope everyone has had a great Thursday and here's to a good Friday!
Oh my goodness that lunch looks mouthwatering!
ReplyDeleteIt was the best it has ever been. Too bad that the restaurant is closing in a week.
DeleteHope your Friday is calmer.....except your kids are home on break so....oh well! lol At least you won't be running and being pulled in some many directions. Enjoy your mom's bday weekend!
ReplyDeleteWe actually took the kids to the zoo but it was nice not to have to run from one thing to another and to go on my time.
DeleteHappy spring break. Next week we have two full, three half days, then the following week is our break. HOORAY! Meanwhile, I am enjoying my Friday afternoon.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your down time.
I hope to get some enjoyment in. :)
DeleteI remember those back and forth trips and round and round with things to do with three kids. At least maybe you can read that book.
ReplyDeleteMaybe, although I haven't had a chance yet :)
DeleteOh, good job getting the handles done. I really hate it when I take so long to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteThanks. It is annoying me though because it was such an easy fix yet I kept putting it off.
DeleteGreat job on the dresser handles. I'm off for spring break too with a laundry list of things to do.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Hope you have a productive Spring Break. I too have a list of things I want to and need to accomplish but am also hoping to relax a little.
