this weekend was...

lots time to play -
back to back games of apples to apples...who's to say going to school isn't annoying and that the tooth fairy isn't confusing?
scrabble match after scrabble match...i may not have beaten my man yet, but i'm closing the gap and I've seen him sweat.
in the lingering snow until cheeks turn rosy and noses start to run.
at the gym for hoops and a swim.
ample opportunity to indulge in -
mugs of hot cocoa topped off with clouds of whipped cream, chocolate syrup and easter peeps as if there is any other way...well not in this house.
homemade sweet and sinful cinnamon buns showered in sprinkles so gooey you cannot even finish one let alone have two, and plenty to share with friends.
a bowl of steaming, spicy tomato soup on a cold end of winter afternoon.
a vanilla latte next to the blazing fire in the coffee shop.
chances to create -
the perfect shrimp scampi...more garlic, parsley, asiago and crushed red pepper than the first time around to yield even more flavor.
pretty new headbands with fancy feathers and big bows.
personalized thank you notes for generous cookie buying neighbors.
occasion to connect -
the boys over basketball and hot wings at a favorite haunt.
the girls during a magical game of mermaid and dolphin.
to Him in prayer at church.
with a friend at the end of the weekend for a glass of wine and easy conversation.
to my body during a fast run.
time to chill, relax or chillax as T. Bone likes to say.










now i'm just wondering how the simple moments slipped through my fingers so quickly. can it really be that we are on the eve of another busy week already?
