The Weekend That Was

Weekend highlights (or lowlights, as the case may be):

• Impromptu dinner with friends at Everyday People on Friday night.
• Moving all the upstairs furniture downstairs, then all the girls' furniture and clothing and CRAP upstairs. They slept upstairs for the first time on Saturday, and the love their new space.
• Annie had an honest-to-God temper tantrum/meltdown about . . . a turkey sandwich.
• We sat through an incredibly long Palm Sunday church service and celebrated by taking the girls out for coffee and treats at The Fancy Hotel.
• Family dinner on Saturday night followed by watching A Dolphin Tale for movie night.
• Plenty of cleaning, sorting, throwing away when the girls weren't looking, and carting a carload of old stuff away to donate.
• New ranunculus in the pots on my front steps.
• Sponge rollers and the resulting curls.
• Family walks and bike rides snuck in between the drizzle.
• The almost-13-year-old vacuum died (just as I had finally cancelled the cleaning service, too!), so I braved Bed Bath & Beyond to get a new one, and I am quite proud of the amount of money I saved on a new Dyson by finding one on clearance AND using my 20% off coupon.
• A week ahead of no school, not too many plans, cousins, Easter, friends, and barbecues.
