Weekend Plans

The first weekend of April is here. And we are happy. Our weekend starts off quietly, but ends with me off on another quick getaway...this time with my mother and sisters. But first...Friday. Friday evening is free for us, except for Rhett who is anxious to get to the theatre. Captain America Two is opening, and he is thrilled! The rest of us will be home, with some movies and snacks, I hope.

Saturday during the day is free. Madison works all day, so Peyton, Rhett and I will attend late afternoon Mass, and Steve will take Madison Sunday morning. After Mass, I plan on an easy meal of sloppy joes and French fries with fresh fruit. Then we will settle in for our Saturday evening at home. My favorite. : )

Sunday morning, I am going away overnight with my mom and two of my sisters. Monday, April 7, is my parent's anniversary. They would have been married 58 years. I wanted to do something that day for my mom...not necessarily to take her mind off of it...but to help her celebrate their love and marriage with us in a way that would not make her feel alone. So Steve...the greatest hubby around...arranged for us to have a night at Bedford Springs Resort where we will visit, eat, and even visit the spa so my sweet mother can have her first spa pedicure! I am going to miss my kiddos and my hubby, but know I will enjoy the girl time!

And that is what we will be up to this spring weekend, my friends. I hope yours is happy, and warm, and cozy, whatever your plans may be. Thanks for visiting!

In case you missed the post about our weekend away, here is a pic of me and my hubby as we took off. Can you tell he is not a fan of selfies?!

And perhaps my favorite part of the weekend...warm cookies and cold milk in bed.

Because that is how mature I am.

We visited the nicest country store last weekend too, and I found this little potato cupboard. I have always wanted one, and was thrilled to find this one. And even more thrilled that it fit into the car. : )

I did a little shopping around my own house, and found a few things to put on top...like my grandma's handwritten recipe for her pumpkin pie and an old cookie cutter. : )

and put my old cookbooks on the middle shelf.

Monday morning we were happily back to school, and my little preschool student was hard at work.

Outside finally looks like this...

and Tuesday we were able to go outside!!!!!! And this little lady was happy. : )

Have a blessed weekend, my friends!
