2 day pass

the highlights of this winter weekend included, but were not limited to:

sledding into the gloaming on friday until cheeks were rosy and fingers tingling, and then slowly thawing out over mugs of hot cocoa just in time for t. bone's basketball banquet.
the kids had a blast running around the gym, playing hoops and hide and seek, stopping only to have another slice of pizza.
the adults mingled and there was much talk at the end of the season of the next sport in the pipeline: baseball.

there was a walk on the sunny saturday morning...our usual loop around the nearby park.
we made it to church for 4:30 mass, which is really ideal for our schedule.
we had dinner with new old friends...the adults caught up while the kids carried on like the best of friends.
I dug this out for posterity and giggles...my kids almost didn't recognize me with curly hair and so much height from heels.


( this is me and my friend almost 25! years ago...she's on the left and i'm on the right.)


the loaf of fresh baked challah i scored at the store turned into melt in your mouth french toast sunday morning.
the boys left for a long day of basketball.
i took miss bit to sunday school to prepare for her first reconciliation next weekend.
while she practiced her act of contrition, i went for a windy, bone chilling walk down along the lake and then i flanked the river, which let me tell you was envigorating.
we spent the afternoon at home hanging out, cooking and playing.
she made me spaghetti and meatballs out of delicious play doh while i made meatballs for these
meatball sliders, Cooking Light tortilla soup, baked oatmeal and a pot pie since i have to work for the next 3 days...i tell ya it's feast or famine at casa wags some weeks.
when the boys came home, we had dinner and chilled out until bedtime thankful for yet another good, full weekend
