Breakfast in bed!

This morning I woke to a nice surprise. I heard someone get up and go downstairs and out into the garage. (Where the refrigerator is still currently located). Then come back in, then go back out, then come back in. After a little bit of rattling, it was quiet for awhile. Then someone came back up the stairs. Then I felt the sensation that someone is watching you- so I opened my eyes. Nate was standing there. He asked me- "Do you know where a tray is?" Being that I'm still a bit groggy from only about 14 hours sleep for the entire weekend. I responded with "huh?" Nate's response: "A tray! You know, like if you want to bring someone breakfast in bed?" Since I don't currently know where anything kitchen related is, I suggested the lid to a storage container. Nate's response: "I already tried that- its too tippy." So I got up and helped him find a tray- then I was sent back to bed. A few minutes later, Nate came upstairs with the tray which held 2 bowls of very soggy cereal (apparently the milk was poured before the tray hunt began), 2 slices of bread (not toasted), 2 cheese sticks & 2 spoons.

What a perfect breakfast! Although I'm a bit jealous because Derek got 1/2 raisin bran, 1/2 Reese's peanut butter puffs and I only got the peanut butter puffs. Nate's logic to Daddy: "I know you like raisin bran best and I thought it would be a nice surprise to hide it under the peanut butter puffs." Indeed!

The weekend was wonderful. The kids all had a great time doing their own things. (I'll be doing a post for each of them within the next couple days to tell you their adventures.)

I completed 50 new pages for the boys scrapbooks. That's not as many as I would typically get done in a full weekend of scrapbooking but this time we took a lot more breaks and just relaxed and enjoyed our selves rather than stressing about completing projects. I'm glad we took a more relaxed approach. One of the girls mentioned a Scrapbook Bed & Breakfast! That sounds wonderful too!

Last one

Well its Sunday evening. Girls weekend is almost over. I hope that you enjoyed the cartoons in my absence. I'll post a "real" post either late tonight or tomorrow morning to let you know how sucessful the weekend was. Hopefully, I'll get some good stories from Derek & the kids on their weekends that I'll be able to share as well. Blog at you soon!

One for Sunday

Right, now I'm taking a break from scrapbooking to teach the two year old class at church. Maybe they will provide me some original blog material to share with you after Girls Only Weekend is over. But in the meantime- here's a "sunday" cartoon.
