Scheduling a rest...

Laura's big Birthday weekend had finally arrived and not a moment to soon because the boxes had been arriving for weeks. The Storage room or baby room, use which ever makes us look less pathetic, was filling up fast. Of course, I had a few fun activities planned for the weekend so we would have something to do. But my simple plans of the cookie place on Saturday and bowling then Chuck E. Cheese on Sunday soon snowballed out of control. One of Sam's coworkers volunteered to watch Laura Friday night so we could go out. Originally when Sam called me with this idea I said no, but I quickly remembered my previous statement about spending more time with Sam. So with 30 minutes notice I got Laura ready for a couple of hours at a friends house and me for dinner at P.F. Changs. Saturday we went to the cookie place as planned and then waited around while Sam inspected and reinspected every T.V. at both Target and Walmart. On Sunday, the big day for Laura, we opened presents and went bowling as planned, squeezed in an unplanned stop for lunch, then swung by Walmart for a cake. By the time we arrived at Chuck E. Cheese, with the line out the door that night, Sam and I had had enough. Good thing we had Monday to recuperate, until we remembered ballet and that we were officially out of milk and had to do another stop by the store.

Don't worry I have all week, well the 4 days that are left, to get ready for a trip, do cupcakes at school and clean up. I'm sure that will be very relaxing!
