Refreshed and ready to start the week!

Well, it's Monday already and I'm excited to start a new week!  I had a nice and relaxing weekend thanks to the help of my sister Yvonne, and my Mom who took the girls off my hands on two seperate adventures this weekend.  The rain even took a little break and we actually got to see the sun come out for a little while!

On Saturday night, Yvonne took the girls out to eat McDonald's and then to visit our Dad.  My girls don't get to see their Grandpa too much, so it was it nice for them to be able to spend some time with him.  While they were gone, I was able to get a ton of things done and just enjoyed the quietness of my house.  It was a strange feeling to eat my dinner without having to help a little person with something.  My Hubby was able to go back to work on that day but he was so tired by the time dinner rolled around I ended up eating by myself.  I couldn't remember the last time that happened and it was nice eating in peace.  I even got to picking up a book to read while I ate because I didn't know what to do with myself in the quiet! :)

Yesterday afternoon, I dropped off Alyssa at my Mom's house so that she could to church with her.  I figured that since we still haven't found a church of our own yet, I'd let Alyssa go with Grandma in the meantime. 

On the way back home, I stopped at Target and found the perfect thing to spend my gift card that I won over at Mimi's other blog, 5 Moms and a Blog last Friday!  It's already the end of the month and I still hadn't gotten myself a new agenda for the year.  Thanks so much for the gift card Mimi.  Now I can get organized again!

Alyssa had a blast with Grandma and enjoyed her time at church sitting next to my mom who plays the piano.  After church, Alyssa got to go to McDonald's for the second night in a row!  While Alyssa was gone, poor Audrey didn't know what to do with herself.  It was the cutest thing when she decided to go find the stool and get up on it to help me wash the dishes!

My night ended on a good note when I was able to put both girls down early to sit and watch this movie.

It had been a while since we've rented any movies, but after hearing Kate talk about watching this movie the other day, I decided to check it out.  The best part about it...my Hubby even watched it with me!  I thought it was pretty good and I especially enjoyed all the blogging parts of the movie!

Well, I'm off to get going for the day since my tired little girls finally woke up from sleeping in this morning and they're already fighting!  My weekend break was sure nice while it lasted!
