Sweets: Pseudo-strawberry shortcake (sustituting soy milk for whipped cream), ice cream cones, pancakes, root beer floats, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream cones.
Second hand: Friday church rummage sale, Saturday yard sale, Sunday thrift store, yielding only one pair of shorts for R and one children's picture book. Still fun to look.
Friday: most of the day spent dealing with icky paperwork, followed by Thai food out and an overnight getaway soaking in Hot Springs, just the two of us. (Thank you "Lucretia and Jbird" for taking in the boys and giving us a break!)
Saturday: Taco dinner with friends. Sleepover at our house with the nephews so their mama and papa could have a break. The four cousins, ages 1 to 8, slept in a big puppy pile right outside our door in a bed made up on the floor. So cute, and crazy fun.
Sunday: C poured the concrete countertops for our house! A kid birthday party at a bowling alley for the boys and I. Back home, an ultra-easy dinner of preroasted Costco chicken with Costco spring mix greens. Phew! Then, collapse asleep by 9:00 pm, which, if you know me, you also know is an extremely rare thing.
Monday: Leftover pseudo-strawberry shortcake for breakfast. Chicken and dumpling soup made from last night's leftovers. Yummy!
