weekends need to be longer

taken 2 fridays ago.6 very happy kiddos.1 very happy ice cream truck man. kiddo #7 was with mom. we had mini popsicles for her.

1. today has been one of those very s.l.o.w moving mondays even though we ran errands all day.

2. got and ate the whole piece by myself after dinner- a triple chocolate torte with walnuts. [on the drive home had a 20oz frozen hot chocolate. talk about sugar overload]

3. kaylee has been sleeping in her own room for the past 3 days. [saturday night i slept with her because we were away from her all day. she stayed with some wonderfully awesome friends!]

4. i got her a spin art for sleeping on her own.

5. sunday we went swimming at my parents house. we invited some friends to join us. they invited us back to their place for some yummy homemade pizza.

5. saturday mike + i went to see a cubbies game. my parents had free tickets for the skybox. skybox means free food + drinks + almost private bathrooms. we are not cubbie fans so it was cool to see them lose secretly.

6. friday was mike's day off so he mowed the lawn- he's the lawn nazi! then afterwards we were suppose to go to the venetian festival but i could tell mike wasn't into it. we decided to get dinner at a marina instead. it was good.

7. searching for some green curtains for kaylee's room now. boy is her room super bright first thing in the morning.

8. this weekend a light bulb went off- i need to keep myself busy during the week and quit counting on mike to entertain me on the weekends because i will be highly disappointed.

9. he works all week so he wants to hang out with friends or family or at home. he doesn't want to go to ikea or venetian festival or the fair etc...

10. kaylee cracks me up. i was giving her words to spell in the car and she would ask for the definition. her words exactly. then tonight i told mike some jehovah witness were walking around our neighborhood so don't answer the door. she said that freaks her out a little. had to explain that sometimes we don't want to stand and hear what people have to say about their jesus. [thought she would understand that more than saying religion]
