Peg’s Journal

We had a good weekend. No big plans…just played it by ear (for a change).

We spent Friday night hanging out with friends (dinner and karaoke).
Saturday, we had lunch and shopped. Aric never ceases to amaze me with his patience and ability to peruse places like Michael’s and JoAnn’s for hours on end (helping me pick out ribbon, no less). Then I attended a “Trinket & Treasures” party at a friend’s house…picking up a sap bucket and a white antique washed wire napkin holder. Tres shabby chic! Saturday night, we took the kiddies out to dinner and then to the buck-fifty theater for a showing of “The Ant Bully”. Unlike restaurants, Summer can sit incredibly still and quiet at the movies.
Sunday, we ran some errands, had lunch, then spent the rest of the afternoon/evening visiting the in-laws. My father-in-law is looking and feeling much better.

I forgot to take pictures over the weekend. But here’s a clip of Ashlyn, entertaining herself during the car ride to her grandfather’s house. If you watch “Little Einsteins” on Playhouse Disney, you’ll know what she’s singing (the intro to the show)…otherwise, it just sounds all gibberish-y. hehehe

*YAWN* Today was such a looooong day. I spent 6 hours walking aimlessly at South Coast Plaza. It would have been great if I wanted/needed to shop….but my car was being serviced at Sears, so I was stranded. The kiddies and I hit up every kids’ store, busied ourselves with crafts at Santa’s Village, and rode the carousel. Despite all that, the kiddies weren’t happy. Summer was really cranky and Ashlyn was really restless. She kept saying, “We’ve been here, like, forevers! This is sooooooo booooooooring!”
It was exhausting.

By the way, I *heart* the show “Heroes”! Love love love it!
