I had a great weekend!! Friday (not really part of the weekend…but oh well) Trina and I got together to finish our April quilt squares. Normally we don’t cut it so close (they were due on Saturday morning) but both of us had interesting months! She brought her kids (6 mos and 2 yrs) over and somehow we got them done! While we were doing that Eric and the boys tried to see Iron Man – but it was sold out! OH!! And, Eric bought a new commuter car! A 2006 Kia Spectra for his daily commute! I finally got to drive it\/ride in it tonight (Sunday) and it’s a fun little car!<\/p>\n

Saturday morning Trina and I gathered up the girls (6 mo and 9 mo) and headed to Winters for the first Saturday Quilt morning. Afterwards, we enjoyed a bit of breakfast in Winters. Two things were sort of a bummer at breakfast (1) a man at the next table gave me a dirty look when JGirl squeeled once and (2) a waitress – while clearing our table – said ‘You’ve got some noisy girls there.” \ud83d\ude41 Not cute, just noisy. Sigh. At least they were happy girls!<\/p>\n

Then – since neither of our husband’s were looking for us, we decided to visit our only local yarn shop. We had heard it was going to be closing by the end of this month – we both felt guilty, but we have been too busy to shop there or even visit it very often. It is a nice shop – lots of Acrylic but a growing inventory of wool! And, she has a great meeting area which is very kid friendly. So we decided to make another Day knit time – but this once will be at her shop! It will be on Fridays – 10am to 12\/1pm. If you are in the area – come knit\/crochet\/hang out with us! **Theresa – think you might be able to join us sometime?? I’ll make lunch for you and the kids!**<\/p>\n

Then….since, the guys STILL weren’t looking for us…we decided to check out Ross. We really enjoyed it and found some fun stuff! I found some Mother’s day gifts (shhh), and a cake platter with a lid that I’ve been wanting for awhile!!<\/p>\n

Saturday late afternoon the boys finally got to see Iron Man (which they enjoyed) and I enjoyed a quiet house. Ruth <\/a>came over with warm blueberry scones and tea and we knit for a bit. Well, I crocheted. I bought some cotton yarn and picked up a free crochet pattern for a market bag. It’s a fun, mindless pattern which I’m enjoying.<\/p>\n

This morning we had a great prayer\/worship service. Very different and VERY enjoyable. Sunday school was fun too – we shared some of our struggles with prayer and shared solutions that worked for us. It was very encouraging!<\/p>\n

This afternoon Eric had a LOTR game and JGirl, J3 and I went over to my mom’s to hang out until dinner time – Eric and older boys joined us for that. Now, the boys are spending the night at Grammy’s – and the house is pretty quiet. JGirl is rocking out in her exersaucer and Eric and I are in our matching recliners – yes, we have matching recliners. I know it’s probably silly but we didn’t want to share! lol<\/p>\n

So, that was our weekend. \ud83d\ude09 I think I have pictures and even a video to share – but that will have to be another post – I can’t believe you read all of this! lol<\/p>\n

Edited to reply to Theresa’s comment…<\/em><\/p>\n

No, that’s the cool thing about this – she is TOTALLY kid friendly.\u00c2\u00a0 The room is huge, food and drink are acceptable in this room.\u00c2\u00a0 There are toys, tv & vcr and room for any other activity your kids might want to bring with them!
\nThink about it – no pressure!
