Flying Solo

This weekend we had a rare 24 hours to ourselves!  After the kids' swim lessons and tumble bunnies class they were off to Gram's.  I look forward to these weekends so much.  I certainly enjoy spending time with my kiddos, and I wish I was with them more, but I do like to have some time to do whatever I want for a day.  Also, they really like spending time at Gram's.  I had a lot of things on my list to accomplish with my free day, but I only got a few of them done.  It's hard to decide whether to work around the house and be productive or just relax and take it easy.  I did a little of both.  I actually spent time reading and finished my current book.  Even though I'm a librarian, I have very little time to read and don't do it a whole lot.  It was nice to kick my feet up and enjoy reading again.  I just have to quiet that voice in my head that says I should be folding laundry.

Saturday night Mark and I went out to dinner at one of our favorite Italian places and then hit up the new Menard's.  I've never been to a Menard's and they just built one down the street from us.  It's a bit like Walmart on steroids only with building materials and home goods.  It was overwhelming.  I can't imagine trying to shop there on a regular basis.  I thought Lowe's and Home Depot were big, but they've got nothing on Menard's.

We spent a lazy Sunday going out to breakfast, picking the kids up from Gram's and taking naps.  After naps, Mark took Jack to Beck Park and they had a grand ole time from what I hear.  Claire and I went to Target and I think we were both much happier to be there.

Happy Monday and here's to a good week!
