busy couple of days.

I love busy days! they really make me appreciate the quiet ones :) 

yesterday for child care we:

• went to story hour @ the library
• painted red & blue on coloring pages of the american flag-original I know!
• went for a mile walk
• made & ate applesauce oatmeal muffins
• played outside
• ate 3 pop ice a piece!! if anyone knows how to easily make these @home PLEASE let me know!

after work I:

• took the dogs on their .5 miler
• did week 1 day 2 of the c25k program
• found -THANKS JO!- & put on my mp3 player, the podcast that tells me when to switch pace so I can take it outside!
• cleaned the upstairs kitchen
• did laundry-4 loads
• started thinking about the pasta salads I will make for family dinners this weekend
• finished decorating for the 4th --hmmm nice & last minute :)

Today for childcare we:

• went to a mini carnival a provider had in her yard for us-FUN
• sent a sickie home w/a fever :(
• had leftovers/crazy lunch
• picked up the toyroom
• will be closed @ 4 today-- unplanned-who doesn't like an unplanned early day out???

2 parties, 2 family dinners, a parade, a house to pick up, & 2 yards to mow. looks like it might be a busy weekend too :)  This is my favorite holiday! How do you plan to spend your 4th of July weekend?

a blessed weekend to you & yours from me & mine!
