more odds than ends...

we had a great weekend

the only problem?

went by way too quickly!

friday night was our school's

family fun night

lots of families and lots of fun!

the kids were in heaven...

and once i got home

and put my feet up,

so was i!

long day!

saturday brought beautiful weather

and what a better way to spend it

than to clean out the garage and attic

in preparation for a garage sale???

this proved harder than i thought!

we pulled down 6 large rubbermaid tubs

3-4 of which were filled to the brim with

baby/toddler clothing.

what an attachment i had to them!

but i was also not happy that they

were not being used

so the decision to get rid of them

was easier!

oiy

i sorted through and chose some

keepers

the rest will find a good home

just not ours!

today, the big girl

had a tea party to attend

so we painted her toes and curled her hair

and she chose one of her fave dresses...

is it really possible that she is this big???

while she was having tea and, well, snacks,

i treated myself to a movie

the soloist

very good

but i think i am still processing it

staggering to me that there are over

90,000 homeless in la

and really, we could all be considered

only a few bad steps away from that reality,

scary.

this post is it for me for the week...

i leave on tuesday to attend

outdoor ed with my students

yes, you read that correctly

my class of 30 6th graders

overnight from tues through fri.

let's just say i have a gift cert

for a massage and facial

that may be promptly

cashed in on sat!

i thought of having some guest

bloggers fill in for me

but, um, too much thought and work...

in their stead,

you might be seeing some

repostings here...

let's just call it the best of mommy's take!

until the weekend...
