I can't believe that the weekend is already upon us... as I sit here I think of all the things that I have to get done before tomorrow night.  This week has gone by so quickly... and really ever since I bought my tickets to Seattle it has.  I thought that it wouldn't be fast enough, but now I can't believe that it's almost here.

Today was a really good day though.  The kids slept in (Lucy got up at 8 with only getting up once last night and Duder slept in til about 930!).  Then Gaetan was so gracious enough to get them ready for the day so that I could do my running outside, instead of on a treadmill later tonight.  Let me tell you... running outside is SO MUCH better than running on a treadmill.  Although, I have to admit for about the first 4 miles I really didn't want to be running at all... it was all mental.  But, I met up with them at the library, and then actually ran home to shower and they met me there.  We got to drop Papa off at work (and Duder always chimes in, "and school") and then I got the kids to myself :)

We just took an easy day.  They had already played pretty hard at the library with Papa, and so after lunch we just played upstairs.  Did a lot of reading, and they actually entertained each other.  That meant I got to do a couple loads of laundry and fold some laundry.  Before I knew it it was time to pick Papa up from school.

I got to go shopping quickly to get some needed items for Seattle this weekend and then we got home and had dinner.  Played with the kids and got them to bed early.  They both missed out on naps today so they were more than ready.  That meant that we got to spend a lot of time together tonight.  :)  Its amazing what it can do for us (as a couple) to have that down time together.  And because the kids got to bed so early we can get other productive things done after hanging out.  :)

My spirits were high today and everything was just wonderful.  Here's to the busiest weekend ever... probably.  :)  Will let you know how this weekend goes!  Wish me luck!
