A Great Weekend!

It didn't hurt that it was a 3 day weekend either! Jamie was off on Friday for "Good Friday" which was a great blessing. Life has been extremely crazy and busy lately. Not always in a bad way, but I miss my hubby when his schedule is nuts! When his schedule is nuts, then it automatically makes my schedule nuts, so it is a vicious cycle. But This weekend was a great way to recoup from the past few weeks!

Friday, Jamie got gravel and landscaping brick for our front yard. The past few weeks have made a vast improvement to the front of our house. We have trimmed shrubs (which are blooming and beautiful right now), got rid of some ugly bushes, hung some ferns, and now have things finished off with brick and gravel. I'll post a picture as soon as it is sunny again. It actually looks like someone lives here now.

Friday night, John, Rachel, and Leah came over for some grilling and catching up. Little Leah is growing and giving us some smiles and coos. The kids took great joy in receiving a gummy grin in reward for their goofy faces. We'll have to do it again sometime, but it'll have to wait for a while now, because our house renovation phase II is about to begin:-)

Chloe spent the night with Denisha Friday night, so she left a little after dinner and had a good time egg hunting at Denisha's church on Saturday. I was kind of glad that she had something to do, because Soccer season started with a bang. We had a picture appointment at 7:45 for a team photo and we finally finished about the time the storm was brewing at 2:30. The Hughes girls kicked butt and won all around. It was fun though . I really like watching the soccer games and seeing them in action. It is a fun sport. So we all came home a little worn out, but in a good way.


Of course, yesterday we woke up to Easter baskets and church, which was fabulous! We couldn't hunt eggs, so we decided to go see "Hop" at the movies, which was really cute and enjoyable even for the adults. We came home and celebrated Chloe's birthday later that evening with chicken nuggets, fries, and a big cookie. She has a cold, so I don't think she enjoyed it as much as she should have, but she was happy nevertheless. We got her pet shop that comes with a Blythe doll and some play dough accessories. That seems to be her "thing" at the moment.
