Pile Day

We had a great weekend. Really pretty perfect. We celebrated sweet Cici's birthday on Saturday, and I will post a few pictures from that enjoyable event once I load them up on Flickr. Yesterday I woke up at 10:30 and was a little confused. I heard Henry in his room, talking to himself and go to check on him. I find him laying in bed, reading a book surrounded by his owl and a million matchbox cars. He looked up and smiled. Just like "Oh, Hi Mama. I was just letting you sleep in". Good lord I love that child.

We thought about going swimming or doing something, anything. But in the end decided against it. We took a family day to pile. Just the three of us. Food, video games, movies, books. We laughed and played and had a wonderful day. The only time I left the house was to pick up dinner. Because with all that piling around I wasn't up for cooking.

I did manage to read the entire third book in Nora Roberts Bridal Quartet. You know I have a weakness for weddings and close girlfriends and book series, so I am LOVING these books. They are about four best friends running a bridal company and each book focuses on one of the girls. I am now on the last one, and will be sad when the series is over. They are simple stories, but completely enjoyable. Worth reading.

Okay, that's actually all I've got. I guess days of piling don't lead to good blogging. (It was totally worth it.)

  2. The days where you sit back and do nothing are the best days, espcially amidst all the caos your life has been lately. I can tell you after months of not having a weekend to myself, I look forward longingly to weekends where the most I have to do is clean my house and go grocery shopping. No company over, and no going anywhere. Perfect!

  3. Sounds fun and relaxing! I am going to be reading the Bridal Quartet hopefully soon. Bought it for my sister for her birthday and I want them when she is done. :)
