Weekend so far

It's been a really good weekend so far. matt had his friday off yesterday. we talked about him either working friday so he could take a day off when the baby comes, or just take a day off early, and he chose early. i'm really glad he did. i was up from 2-5 thursday night/friday morning, so he let me sleep in till 10 when i finally was able to get back to sleep. it was heaven! then he kept the girls occupied so i could do tons of paperwork for the home closing and other equally annoying clerical kinds of things. while he did that, he also got dinner in the crockpot, awesome!!! 

we ate dinner and then he took christian into town to get long johns for his "freeze-out" boy scout campout this weekend. christian seemed excited and even matt was bemoaning the fact that he couldn't go. silly boys! they left at 5:30, got to their camp around 9, and had about a 3 hour hike to their campsite (although i heard from laura today that it was more like a 4+ hour hike and they didn't get settled till 2!).

then i went to a fun pampered chef party. after the party we all sat around talking and visiting. we need to have more girls nights, even if they are just girls night in's.

this morning matt made muffins and alexis and i went to sew camp pants at church at 9. i really hadn't planned on going to the party or the pants making, but here i am, and i'm glad i was able to make it to both. i know nothing about sewing, but lana helped alexis and she was able to finish her pants by 10:30. then we headed to target to help little sister buy "please welcome me to the family gifts" for her older sibs and then had time for a quick lunch at red robin before i had to drop lex off at the high school for a cheer camp. she was so excited.

and sweet lana helping alexis with her sewing duties.

it's a rainy and cold day. and since we don't have a lot planned (you know, since we were supposed to have a newborn keeping us busy), matt and i tried to take a nap when the little girls went down. my aching rib kept me from getting comfy though. now i am eagerly awaiting 4:00 when my chauffeuring duties resume. 

and that's our good weekend so far.
