This and That

Wow! This week as been so crazy I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted an entry...

It has been quite the full week. Sweetpea is in her second week of swimming lessons so we have been at the pool every morning - and, therefore, ready for naps when we got home :)

Monday night we had a company come out to do an estimate on getting our roof replaced... and was completely shocked when it came back in 5 figures! But thanks to all the new roofing codes in the past couple of years (thanks to living in Florida with all the hurricanes) it takes a lot more to replace a roof... and therefore, costs a lot more money... about $6000 more than when we inquired a couple of years ago! I guess that's what we get for waiting. We had another company come out today and will be having a third come out on Monday. Oh, the joys of being a home owner.

Yesterday after swimming we headed to the library for a special music program Sweetpea was registered for. It was nice for me because having just finished a book over the weekend, it gave me a chance to do some searching for another one. Found a great one - "The Shape of Mercy" by Susan Meissner. I will review it once I am done, but so far I am loving it!

Lastnight Sweetpea and I headed to our friends' so I could do some more scrapbooking - and she could have her first non-family sleepover. She was so excited about it! She had a great time and both girls want to do it again soon.

Today we stayed at the pool for awhile after lessons so the kids could have some "fun" swim time. We always just pack a lunch to take with us so that we don't have to pack up and leave when the kids get hungry :) They can just have a little lunch break and go right back to swimming.
This evening we were back at the library for another special program. This one was based off the Pinkalicious and Purplicious books. The next one, Goldilicious just came out so they library had a little cupcake party for the girls so they could preview the new book.

Tomorrow, it's back to the pool and another "play day" afterwards. It's the last day of lessons so we're going to stay for some extra fun.
Tomorrow evening, Sweetpea is off to her grandparents' for her sleepover since both hubby and I have to be at work Friday morning. She always has a good time at these sleepovers - Nana always has fun things for her to do.

And then it's the weekend again... where does the time go?

Summer has officially begun...

...when my daughter starts the morning by asking me "What can we do today, Mommy?"
After yesterday, however, I had to tell her that we were doing nothing.
We spent the morning just chillin' at home - and taking an early nap at 10:30am!

We did venture out just after noon to head to one of our local libraries. They were putting on a "Kiddie Karnival" for a couple of hours and we thought we'd check it out. We did stop to get some lunch at McDonald's on the way and ran into one of Sweetpea's Daisy friends so that was a nice surprise.
For a library function, the carnival actually wasn't bad. It was inside with just a bunch of little games with prizes, a craft table and face painting. It was free - with a donation suggestion of $1 - so it made it affordable.
My friend, C, and her kiddos also showed up so Sweetpea at least had someone to hang out with - and I did too :) We stayed and let the kids play for awhile so we had a chance to chit chat.

We left there and headed to JoAnn Fabrics to sign Sweetpea up for a few of their summer craft classes they put on for kids. She's excited about that.

We went home and hung out while waiting for Daddy to come home. I have to do grocery shopping so we decided to go out for dinner. Some pizza at Galley and a quick jaunt next door to Euro Kafe for some dessert, tea and a little baseball.

A great first day of summer! But there's still plenty to go...
