Must be the weekend

So Friday is now pizza night. There's a joint right on Drew's route home from work and I love the idea of eating on paper plates and not dirtying up my kitchen with a meal before the weekend starts. So we did the pizza thing, Drew took Andrew to the park to ride his triycle for over an hour, then we all stayed up late watching TV and hanging out. Andrew spent a long time with his watercolor paints. After a while, they turned into fingerpaints but still, he had a great time. He really concentrates and he likes mixing the colors and dipping the brush in the water. He kept wanting a new color of paper but his favorite, both paint and paper, is definitely pink. Sorry, Drew. Heehee.


After the mess he made, he look a long bath. He loves pouring water.

Yes, we painted s'more after the bath. A washcloth wipe-down got all the paint off. Here's Andrew when I said, "Show me your yucky fingers!!"

So this morning, I grabbed a hat and my wallet and hit three garage sales in our neighborhood. To see what I got, visit my public blog. The link is at the top of the right sidebar.
After that, I came home and made breakfast for us and had a cup of coffee, then Sarah and I went shopping. The Dollar Tree, Old Navy, Sketchers and JCPenney. I behaved myself pretty well! Again, the details are on my public blog.
Then tonight, Drew and I got to go on a date!! God bless Sarah, Drew's sis'. She saves me on so many levels. Besides letting me tag along on what was really HER shopping trip, she watched--nay, took care of--Andrew for the five hours we spent at our friends' house. She even put him to bed!! Drew and I needed the time together, and out of the house. It was so nice to linger over dinner and just talk and laugh with another couple. Here we are before we headed out, me in my new Old Navy tee.

Such a nice weekend. What a weekend should be. Hope yours was great, too!
