Simple pleasures....

Ahhhh... The weekend is here. I breathe a sigh of relief as another busy week comes to a close, and then hold my breath for the busyness that is yet to come this week. We push on.
The past week was a good one. Wednesday was my 31st birthday. We celebrated by having dinner at our local Famous Dave's and then going to our Awana Club. Dinner was great, and a bunch of the kids sang to me after club was over.
I've worked a bunch lately, subtitute teaching at the kids' school and another local school. It's been fun, but it definitely is an adjustment from being home all week. Yet another reason I enjoyed my stay-at-home Saturday today.
Jon' birthday is this week, so we will have more to celebrate, and then Michaela's comes the last week of the month. January is always crazy, but wonderfully so.
That's my news for now!!!

It's been a pretty quiet week around here. We've got Jon and I recovering from crud, but otherwise we are all doing pretty well. Spent Saturday getting laundry caught up, and trying to finish some other projects. I have a bunch of yarn that I am trying to use up. I'm not really much into knitting or crocheting, but I inherited some yarn from my grandma when she passed away, and I am trying to get it used up. I've been making dishrags and coaster sets for the girls' hope chests that they got for Christmas (thanks to Grandma and Grandpa Hogan!). I'm hoping to get this yarn done with by the end of January, so that I can use the time and the storage space for other things! (like scrapbook stuff!) The kids had a playdate with one of their friends today, so that kept them occupied while Jon and I vegged. He read, I crocheted. It was a really laid back kind of day, which is really nice when our weeks get so crazy. Church tomorrow and then Monday we are back in full swing with school, Scouts, Awana, worship team and home group! It's a busy life, but we love it, and we love our vegging days too! (looking forward to Saturday already!)
