sweet relief fell on friday after the week's jarring reentry to routine.
kiddie cocktails with extra cherries...a bribe for my girl to let me teach her backgammon on a slow eve...
a game she is almost ready for, but not quite.
she had a play date with grandma and grandpa after swimming on saturday...
they went to see 7 brides for 7 brothers...
she said it was "olden," but good.
he had his first baseball game of the season and we had our last bowling night...
they won....
we took second place.
second place for the season!
sunday the boys went to practice and she spent all afternoon outside with her bff.
i kept myself busy puttering here and there...mostly in the kitchen.
it was a glorious day...inside and out!
i stuffed a chicken with halved lemons and garlic and a handful of thyme.
i mashed potatoes, made salad dressing and tried a new brussels sprout recipe.
jess joined us for dinner and the evening turned to night much too soon.
i have such a love hate relationship with sunday.
it is a day of beginnings and endings...
starts and finishes...
hellos and...
goodbyes.
