Weekend Plans

Happy May! And happy weekend! Normally, a May weekend around here involves a lot of porch sitting, grass mowing, and bike riding. Unfortunately, Mother Nature didn't get the memo. Our weekend will involve some more cozy inside time, as we are expecting possible snow flurries! No matter, though. Spring will be here soon. I hope my lilac bushes hang in there to see it!

Friday afternoon a friend of ours is coming over so he can help Peyton bake her very first cheesecake! While it is cooling, we are going out to our favorite Mexican restaurant to celebrate Cinco De Mayo. I am all about the shrimp quesadillas!

Saturday I am tackling the mudroom. Currently it houses boots, coats, jackets, gloves, sandals, flip flops, sunhats, sneakers, ice scrapers, umbrellas, and plenty of dust and dirt. So that should take care of most of the day! We have Mass followed by dinner with my mom to round out the day.

Sunday is going to be cold here in Pennsylvania. I will take that as a sign to get some home projects done before we head outside for the season. Steve has lightbulbs to replace and pictures to hang. I have a linen closet begging to be organized! And make up brushes to wash before Madison gets home!!! Dinner Sunday will be some type of pasta with salad. I'm thinking manicotti. And I hope Peyton will whip up a dessert.

We had a quiet week here in our cozy home. Here are a few pictures of what went on...

Morning coffee on the porch was put on hold.

Replaced with cozy blankets on the couch...

Which isn't such a bad thing at all.

We took advantage of a beautiful day last weekend,

And my girl still loves her flowers.

If you have children, and have not heard of Little Bear,

I am here to tell you...it is simply the best children's show ever.

Mornings around 9:00 on Nick Jr.

Flynn and I watch it every morning...Just as Madison and I did twenty years ago.

Woody joined us on our visit to the dentist this week...

And he checked out fine.

As for our No Cavity streak...

It continues!

Twenty years, four kids, no cavities.

I attribute it to no soda and pure luck.

Back in the schoolroom, we are finishing up first grade with a fun unit on the life cycle of frogs.

Which works out great, since we have some tadpoles swimming around right down the road.

Have a wonderful weekend, my friends.

Enjoy it your way!
