Before I write any sort of recap, I’d like this post to live up to its blog’s name Permission to Peruse. We have a few family members going through some serious stuff. In fact, my busy thoughts and troubled heart are why I didn’t post at all on Friday. Please know as I post in the next days, perhaps weeks, that my heart is heavy. I don’t have the permission to let you peruse the details (sorry, had to) but if you could say some prayers, I know God knows what’s going on.
Scott worked the weekend so those are always the times the girls and I get out and have some sweet girl times together. Friday night we got out to the park. Emma was hilarious as two younger boys tried to join in their fun in the sand box and Emma kept looking at me and mouthing, “Save. me.” It made me giggle even though we all know she’s been the busy little girl no one could keep up with before.
Saturday morning we got out to the library. I love, love that both of the girls are becoming bookworms and nothing makes me happier than all of us carrying an armful of books out the door. Their current favorite is Diary of a Wimpy Kid. I was shocked when Emma ended up reading one of them in less than 24 hours. We hit up the grocery store and then did a little spring clothes shopping. We didn’t make any plans for Spring Break and the only request Lexi had was to go to Justice. I don’t know if that’s good or bad but I do know one outfit is a lot cheaper than a Spring Break week at Disney. We had someone come out and talk to us about landscaping the front yard since we never planted anything after the addition last year. We had another friend stop by and then the girls and I just spent the night at home, capping off the day with an episode of Little House of the Prairie. I’m not sure the girls quite appreciate the show yet. In the middle, Emma exclaimed, “This is so pointless!” The episode was about a couple in the town on the brink of divorce so I’m just not sure she connected. Ah well, at least I’m trying.
Sunday we had church and lunch and then the girls stayed over with their cousin. I did some heavier grocery shopping, laundry and the like. My niece stayed over last night and we ended up at my parents’ house for the evening where they played, visited a neighbor’s horse and watched a movie in their theater room.
Today is the first day of Spring Break. We have family coming in to town on Wednesday so I decided to take Thursday and Friday off. It’s a short work-week and I couldn’t be more excited.
Before I end, I wanted to highlight the blog’s newest (and first!) official Sponsor. Casey Coley is a Thirty-one consultant. You’ll see her ad on the right sidebar. I’m proud to say I managed to put that button together in Photoshop. Musings of a Housewife has a great tutorial on creating a button.
