weekend

there was...

- a fight with a cockroach in our living room. jeremy won.

-  one night of little sleep thanks to love waking up numerous times during the night. jeremy got up with her every time, and then he let me sleep in! isn't he amazing?

- a cold that had me feeling a bit under the weather (hence, the sleeping in).

- laundry done.

- homemade cheesecake eaten.

- friday night pizza night. and then sunday night pizza night, because we just felt like having it twice. homemade whole wheat dough for jeremy and the kids, wheat-free almond flour dough for me.

 - a couple of gin & tonics consumed. we've always had those for happy hour with my parents...it felt a little like home.

 - a visit to the indoor playground at the mall.

- a lowes build and grow workshop attended by jeremy and love. they made an airplane and she is so proud.

 - two afternoon visits to chik-fil-a for a snack for the kids (mini-ice cream sundaes - perfect, and only 99 cents!) and playtime in the playplace. the snacks were just the means to get them in the playplace. it was much too hot to play outside, and they needed to get some energy out.

- saturday night when jeremy came in from outside after he had mowed the lawn and thrown the burgers on the grill and said, "hey babe, you know when you step outside and it just smells like summer? that's coming from our house right now."

- saturday night burgers. we eat them bun-less, with grilled onions, homemade guacamole, ketchup, and mustard. yum.

- progress made on my embroidery project.

- sunday morning when we arrived at church to find that the air conditioning was broken. our church meets at a museum and worships in a window-less room on the fourth floor. it has been terribly hot and humid all weekend and was roasting in there. we left before the service even began.

- a griled chicken, strawberry, feta, pecan salad with balsamic vinaigrette dressing. it's a sunday lunch favorite around here.

- paints and playdough.

- insect books read.

- plants watered.

- a short visit from some new friends and neighbors who are sadly moving away on friday.

there were also some temper tantrums, dramatic crying and screaming (thankfully from the kids, not jeremy or i), and time-outs.

but overall it was a good weekend. how was yours?
