this weekend

we had a rare weekend at home but the first of many over the next few months.  it's nice that we get to be home and get some things done around here.  we had plenty going on to keep us busy.

on saturday morning i started training for this 5k run.  so excited and nervous about taking this on.  but it's been on my goal list for a long time and what better time then now before the weather gets too hot.  can't imagine being able to run for 3.2 miles but i am wiling to try.

sofia, bobby and her grandpas went to dad and grandpa's day at the preschool on saturday morning.  they hammered things, played baseball and drew pictures of each other. bobby enjoyed reading sofia's thoughts on her dad.  what's dad's favorite sport? "baseball and football."  what does dad call sofia? "babydoll."  how tall is dad? "10 feet."  so precious.

bobby's mom let us borrow her tv for our living room. so we put the other tv back in our room. that means snuggling in bed together and watching our favorite shows.  really, it means that now when i fall asleep bobby doesn't have to wake me up off the couch to come to bed.

saturday night we went to cosmic bowling for a friend's birthday party. andrew bowled with his friends and did the cha cha slide while sofia, jordan, bobby and i played in our own lane.  and who was the champion? - me!!  ok, we had the bumpers up but it was a fair playing field and i still won. hmph.

sunday morning we did some shopping at ikea.  january has been about organizing and getting things done around the house.  well, this is where we do it.  we got a craft table, a tall bookshelf for the boys, a table/desk for the boys and some curtains for our bedroom closet.  once i get my space all set up i'll post some pictures.  but the best purchase of the day were these cookies

yum, yum and yum.

in the afternoon sofia and i went to a pirate birthday party for a classmate from the preschool.  it was at a beautiful park in calabasas with a hiking trail up to a tree swing.  there was a treasure chest piñata, a treasure hunt and a big inflatable pirate ship.  ahoy mateys.

and finally in the evening we did our new sunday tradition of mass at 5:30 and dinner at our favorite mexican place.  they have the best tacos, the best bean and cheese burritos and by far the best chips and salsa in town.  if you live in the valley you must go to melody's in reseda.

i hope everyone enjoyed their weekend as much as we did.
