Mostly Sunny Weekend

When weekends that Scott is working start out with a sunny, warm, Friday afternoon, I feel like I can make it through the weekend. It makes a huge difference if we can stop at the park on our walk home from school. Since Nate gets out of school at 2:45 PM, if I don't have an after-school activity, it can feel like an eternity before the dinner hour arrives. So this past Friday, all was right in the world and it was sunny and 60 degrees. The kids played and played and we even met some new friends at the park. It was a great way to start the weekend before Spring Break. 

After we came home, Lila decided to be Lila the Builder, we ate spaghetti and watched Teen Beach Movie. Yes. Yes, we did. A kid at Nate's school won a Disney Teen Beach Movie party where one of the cast members came to the school on Thursday night and threw a party. Yes. We went. And I took Lila too. Many Many Many screaming, dancing kids running around. None of which my child was doing since he hadn't seen the movie. But now we've rectified that. Oh Disney, sometimes you are just too much. 
Saturday was not as nice outside, so we hit up Chick-Fil-A for lunch and some play time. As we were leaving, Nate said, "Mom, you know just when to get to our Chick-Fil-A so that we get to play before all the crazy people get there." Yes, I do Nate. Years of painful practice:)
Saturday afternoon, we went to see the latest kids movie. This theater has been a life saver this winter. Who would have thought I would know all the dates for the kids movie releases in the next year? March 21st - Muppet Movie, April 11th - Rio 2. Just in case you were wondering. Mr. Peabody and Sherman was cute. Not overly funny if you ask me, but cute and the kids liked it. That's all that matters here.
Sunday was another beautiful day so we headed off to the library and the park. Where we spent copious amounts of outside time. So thankful for warmer weather!

Happy Happy Birthday to my baby brother today!
