Just Another Monday

Well, here it is Monday morning again.

We had a beautiful weekend! The weather was AWESOME on Saturday.
The girls played outside nearly the entire day! Okay for those that really know me~that means nice weather=flip flops. I love them, the kids love them and as much as I love flip flops that means DIRTY, YUCKY feet. I detest dirty feet. My poor kids know this and know that when they come inside they must wipe their feet clean with baby wipes and then head off to the tub to really clean them. So...........I love the nice weather but despise the dirty feet. Crazy...yes...but that is me!!

We had a birthday party with some of Mary's neighborhood friends. Noelle was a AWESOME!! She and Ethan decorated on Saturday night! Noelle did a GREAT job of planning the games, decorating and entertaining the children. She has really become the Pied Piper of the neighborhood! It was so cute....Noelle babysits for a few families her in Still Meadow, one the little girl at the party loves to have Noelle babysit~ she calls her Fedele!! It is so funny. Noelle adores these kids as much as they adore her!!

Mary had a BLAST at her party! Good fun!! PHEW, now that 5 year old birthday party is behind us!!

We are all doing OK adjusting to DST. I think that this has been the easiest transition for me. I set our clocks forward on Saturday at 7:00 pm (trying to trick myself...it seems to have worked for me). Mary did have a hard time waking up this morning for school. I had to carry her out of bed at 8:30. She got a slow start but is at preschool as I type. But.....my house is not empty...Ethan is home. He says that he feels sick. He also felt sick last Friday but pushed himself to school and did fine soooooo........maybe he really is sick today?? We will see! No soccer practice tonight since he stayed home. RATS....I will miss driving a half and hour to practice for a hour and fifteen minute practice and then another half hour drive home (during dinner hour).
So......Monday is off to a good start!

Have a good week!
