Friday night

  • We headed to the mall to check out the Lego store.  We bought Brinley her first Lego set.  A small, 83 piece set that builds the world’s smallest dog house.  The price tag – $12.95.  Yikes!
  • We also visited Pottery Barn Kids.  Brinley really loves going in there and playing with the doll houses and play kitchen.  I love looking at the room set ups and checking out the sale bins (even though there are usually like two things in there).  As I was browsing the girls were playing with the doll house and Scott decided to take out his iPhone and snap a quick photo.  He was quickly visited by a sales lady and told that he was not allowed to take pictures in the store.  Seriously?

  • Both girls PTFO in the car on the way home.  We put them to bed at watched The Taking of Pelham 123.  I’m not going to attempt to review the movie.  All I will say is that I thought I liked it but the more I think about it, I didn’t like it at all.

Saturday

  • Chipotle for lunch.
  • Shopping at BJs and a trip to a furniture store.
  • Tenants came over to sign the lease.
  • I skipped dinner because I was still full from my burrito.
  • Sat on the living room floor and started tagging the boxes of clothes that I’m going to be selling at the tag sale next month.  Beer in hand made it more enjoyable.

Sunday

  • Nora decided she would wake up at 5:55am.
  • Scott eventually got out of bed around 8:30.
  • We decided to go out for breakfast.  After reading that a local diner was recently named one of the Top 10 Diners in Massachusetts, we figured we should check it out.  We had heard about it many times but never gave it any credit.  It took six years of living about a half mile from the place before we check it out.  We loved it and will probably go back many times.  Nora made friends with at least three ladies there and Brinley loved her huge chocolate chip pancake.
  • Home for Nora’s nap and for mom and dad to shower.
  • Back to the furniture store to order our new dining room set.  I am SOOO excited about it.  It’s exactly what I wanted and we splurged on it but it’s perfect.  It will arrive at our new house in 6-8 weeks!
  • Headed to visit our friends, Lucrezia and John.  Lucrezia whipped up some baked ziti and homemade meatballs for us which were delicious.  Then we ventured outside for a little nature walk.  Brinley collected some leaves, rocks and pine cones.  When we returned from the walk we ate ice cream and cookies before heading home.
  • Put the girls to bed.
  • Mommy is off to bed at 9pm!

It was a very full weekend but we got some tasks accomplished and got to spend time with friends.  Now it’s back to the grind.  I have three huge baskets full of dirty laundry staring me in the face and the cupboards are bare.  Ugh!

How did you spend your weekend?  Was it filled with fun or with getting things done?  Maybe a little bit of both?
