weekending

i'm missing the holiday weekend.

it seems the longer the weekend the harder it is to let it go.

it started in typical fashion.

lily attended the last ski club friday of the season, teddy went out with friends to eat pizza and play hockey, and mike and i thought for a nano second about going out, but decided we were perfectly happy staying home.

lily went to hang out with friends saturday and stayed the night.

it started to snow mid-afternoon, which convinced me to cozy up at home once again.

mike and i watched a forgettable movie.

teddy went out as i was heading to bed with my book.

i cannot believe i'm admitting that.

mike and i did our lake front loop sunday morning whilst lil's was at sunday school.

the fresh air that hinted of spring was welcome after all that time at home.

mid-afternoon we headed to windmill beach for a quick 24 hour getaway.

along the shores a little north the air felt more like winter.

we engaged in the windmill beach winter olympics.

the events included golf, clue, boggle and ping pong.

it was fun for all ages and abilities.

i took the gold in boggle.

that was it.

in fact teddy gave me 15 points and played left-handed and he still beat me at pong.

we surprised my sil with a little early birthday celebration...french chocolate cake and presents.

i was up with the sun monday morning.

i started a new book and almost got through it before the day was done.

my brother made his family famous breakfast burritos and then we all wanted a nap.

instead the guys went to the golf simulator and i took lily to get supplies for science fair and then  came home and got back into my book.

i went to bed rested and happy.
