A Lazy Weekend

Recently we ended up with just a plain ol’ lazy weekend around the house. It wasn’t intentional but with Matt in bed sick with the flu, we just didn’t get to do a lot of the stuff we had planned to do. And we didn’t have masses of neighborhood kids in the house either since Matt was sick.

We did some majorette routines in a Sleeping Beauty dress using Will’s blow dart “gun”. 

We made snow cones.

Let me take the opportunity to say I had one of these as a child and loved it and don’t remember it being NEARLY as difficult to use.  It takes forever to get a tiny bit of ice now and I end up with blisters on my hand from turning the crank. Matt remarked that 30 years ago the metal to plastic ratio was probably higher and that the lead paint probably helped melt the ice a little better!! Ha!

We played some Roll-y Bat in the front yard. Avery was being “Bubba’s Little Catcher” because Mommy hadn’t pitched in a few months and well let’s just say I was rusty.

Of course we played Life. We always play Life. Another memory from my youth that was a lot more fun back then! 

And check out our banker!

TV time snuggles. These 2 love each other some kinda fierce.

Speaking of 2 that love each other…..it’s a wonder poor Sunshine’s face hasn’t been sucked off after all these years.

Will spent several hours doing Sudoku, his new found hobby. Poor guy got pretty upset with the Sunday paper version (i.e. the hardest of the week).  He stopped and started over so many times and never finished. I did find some “kid” versions online for him to play and that has been a little better for him.

We also went on a walk on the Greenway through the Nature Park. I had planned for it to just be the kids and me but the dogs heard the word “walk” and while they never want to go on their 2 mandatory walks a day, they were psyched to go on this one.  Lindy, bless her heart….she actually walked most of the way, or at least more than I expected, but man was she SLOW.  I’m guessing the walk was somewhere close to a mile and it took us over and hour. The temp dropped a lot while we were out and boy was I glad to get home!!
