weekend collage to wrap it up

Ahh, the week off for Mardi Gras has been wonderful and much needed for me as well as the girls. Tomorrow will be a huge slap in the face waking up early and getting into the school groove again, but I have to remember one full week and the next week we will have off Friday for the end of the nine weeks. Sorry, but that is how I get through it...it's just how I roll. This weekend has ended with a bang, well yesterday did at least.

Friday night we made our trip to Baton Rouge to watch LSU gymnastics with a few friends. Of course we didn't get home until midnight (thankfully John kept William home) and we had to be up bright and early for a skating party for William's friend.

The party was such fun and William took off on the skates. Now he has done inline skates and has a good time but the little stinker didn't even need help. I stuck his skates on and he was gone....as in I did not even go on the floor with him, he never looked back. He was awesome! I must say he did much better than some of the older kids who landed on the floor just about every time they moved a foot.

As soon as the skating party was over we went to party #2.

My nieces' nephew (are you following that one, lol?) turned one. Happy birthday baby Ty! What a doll. Just when I thought we were going home John called and we decided to go on a little date out to eat so my parents took the kids so we could go.

Phew! Today could have been so relaxing but anyone who knows me knows I don't know how to do that, so since John worked all day today I decided it would be the perfect time to paint the kids playhouse in the back yard. It took about five hours and the girls were a great help with William and with painting. Thank you my sweet girls. Seriously, are these little feet not the cutest? I don't think my guy's foot will ever grow, he is still in an 8! The same size shoe for the pat year and a half!
