TGIF

I'm so glad it's Friday and that we get a little break this weekend. Derek and I are both still a bit under the weather so it will be nice to rest a little.

Today was Muffins with Mom at school. Unfortunately this mom was awoken at 2:30am by a screaming little boy who wanted to be rocked back to sleep. I tried my best to not give in, but fifteen minutes later there I was rocking him back to sleep. His screaming woke up Katie so she had shuffled herself downstairs to my bed while I was shuffling upstairs to stop the screaming. So in an effort to sleep a little, I camped out in her room after I put Kyle back to sleep. Big mistake - I missed my alarm clock going off. So while we had planned to get up early so we could go have muffins together, we ended up being 30 minutes late for school! And, it was an early release day. I usually just leave her in extended care on those days since Kyle is still there until 2:30, but I decided I would take her to lunch since we missed the muffins. So, Amy and I headed over there and took her to Chili's, one of her favorite restaurants, then we ran errands and got her a new coloring book. She loved having us all to herself. It's been a while since she has gotten all the attention. Her last soccer game is tomorrow. We were going to skip it since we were supposed to go to Halliburton Day at the Ranch, but neither of us think we can handle a "day at the ranch" right now.

My kitchen is finally coming together. I moved some of my things out of the family room and into the kitchen to go with the blue/white theme. I also picked a few items up half off at Hobby Lobby today. So now the window treatments are done and the tops of the cabinets are decorated. Now if I could just keep it clean! Somehow I manage to junk it up every other day with piles. I also got the wall hanging hung, but no picture of that yet.



I hear Katie and Kyle upstairs "rock-a-bye-ing" so I guess I should get ready to put him to bed. He loves to sit in his glider all by himself looking at books before bedtime. So off to bed we go!
