...a four day marathon of non-stop activity...
Friday -- volunteer at school all morning, shop and clean house for Saturday (see Saturday).
Saturday -- woke up early, fed small ones, walked dog, made forty (yes 40!!!) egg rolls for Chinese Mardi Gras party that evening. (you know to celebrate the Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras--the year of the pig)
Big child picked up for school activity on Sat. morn, left wee one with dad all day.
Went to church festival from 11:00 a.m. until 5:45 p.m. when I got home.
Chinese Mardi Gras party scheduled to start at 6:00 p.m. As I am getting out of shower, doorbell rings, dog barks and people arrive. Oh, yeah, the parental units (aka G-parents) visiting as well-- grandma needs her grandchild fix.
Party goes well into the night (11:30 p.m.) that's late enough for me. Boggle competition keeps us going until the small hours of the night. (yes, we're geeks who love Boggle) I don't like the on-line version though, it's more of a challenge to play the original version. (Great for your 7 to 8 yr old's spelling comprehension.)
Sunday -- get up early to go to church, then brunch with G-parents. Then baseball at the park for big child with his friends (sort of like spring training for them), wee one played on the slide. Send G-parents on their way back home and can finally veg. Had all intents and purposes to finish one of the handbag projects to get ready for felting today (Mon.) -- never happened.
Monday -- President's Day -- everywhere except here in the Desert SW -- we have Rodeo Days this weekend, so school for the big one and for me the re-claiming of my house, i.e. laundry, cleaning bathrooms, vacuuming...
...maybe tonight I'll be able to sit down and knit...
