My Busy Weekend

My normal day pretty much amounts to doing some paid writing, proofreading, playing with my daughter, making dinner and writing for you all.  So, when I have a busy weekend it is certainly something to talk about!

This is the coolest thing we got her

On Friday my husband and I went to Target and used the gift card my Mother-in-Law got for Kaylee’s 2 year birthday.  Apparently $100 goes really far when you pay attention to the prices!  Then I spent all day wrapping that pile of presents and figuring out how to give them to her without spoiling her to death.  In the evening my Father-in-Law and his wife surprised us by coming over for dinner and hanging out.  My husband made the best pork chops ever.

Saturday I reserved for cleaning.  I spent 4 hours sweeping and mopping my floors.  I organized my daughter’s toys and deep cleaned the bathroom and kitchen.  I wore myself out so bad I fell asleep on the couch while my daughter was still awake!  But I love the feeling of a clean house.  It makes me feel good to look at it and know I did that.

Emily & Mandy

Sunday was the best of all.  We got up early and headed to Asheville for the day.  We first went to Tom’s old work where he made small talk for awhile and dinner plans.  Then to brunch at the best brunch place ever, Province 620.  It was quite possibly the best brunch I have ever had.  Next came a visit to our friend Kelly’s house, followed by Emily’s birthday party in Little Avery’s Corner.  After the wonderful party we headed to my best friend Mandy’s house (Emily’s mom).  I ate a wonderful dinner made by her husband and played some munchkin with them after some hangout time with the group.  Tom headed out to dinner with his friends.

A grand time was had by all.

Maybe too grand of a time

Normally I don’t post about my day…  But today I’ve been a busy little beaver and figured I’d explain all my happy days.
