Maternity leave is a wonderful thing. Who doesn't like being paid to be home catching up on things, relaxing, knitting, and being with your family? This week I found a
lilac for our front yard, which completes an area we planted last year, I got a snowcone on a warm afternoon with vanilla ice cream inside, hubby got me two more containers of rice pudding before they went off sale :-), I took my first epsom salt bath after a long day on my feet which gave me such soft skin and not so sore feet anymore, and I
FINALLY ordered prints for our walls that was long overdue (including the bath photo idea Pat-you rock!).
Something about Maggie turning 3 last week and seeing a flyer for the Lorax at the library got me thinking that Maggie was probably ready to see a movie in the theater like a big girl. The result was a certified girl's night out with my sister and cousin Eden. Maggie went complete with new purse and lip gloss. We ate good thai food and enjoyed $5 movie night. The movie was a bit ridiculous and a little odd the way it was made (I'm not the biggest fan of new animation) but the message to not cut down all the trees in the land and be nice to animals seemed to cancel out the couple "scary" parts that were a little much for both girls. I had to hold down Maggie's seat the entire show so that it didn't fold her up like a taco.
I'm feeling creative and peaceful right now. Almost done knitting this
hat for the baby and Maggie has requested this
pig.
Hi! So glad you're feeling good and peaceful. I'm impressed with how productive you are in these final weeks of pregnancy!!! I took the kids to see the lorax and while the message was good- i didn't really enjoy it. it was like watching the preview would've been good enough. we are going to rent the muppets soon- i heard that movie was good. anyway, girls night out is so great with eden and maggie. i love girls night out with ruby- it's just so easy for us to have fun. when i bring atticus, we have fun too, but he's interested in "boys go with boys and girls go with girls" right now. i think it's because i don't take him surfing and that's pretty much all he wants to do these days. second choice for him is skateboarding and i don't do that with him either. but....super cute....he did ask me if i'll go snorkeling with him tomorrow and so we're planning on doing that (: i love hearing maggie's quotes and interests.
