Friday

Today it is gross outside....rainy and gray. Which made it very easy for me to roll over after feeding Charlotte and sleep till 10:00. Well, Dan definitely contributed to my ability to sleep!! Thanks honey! I went to the library this morning which is always a wonderful time. I got 6 new novels and I cant wait to get reading.....my last bunch of books was a flop, but what was I expecting with Nicholas Sparks books? I can understand his appeal for some people, but he is NOT my kind of author. There is a fragrance of wood burning outside and it makes me want a fireplace where I could build my own little fire. But then I remember that I have little ones, and the idea of mixing the two makes me appreciate the smell outside and the fact that I don't have to deal with burning wood and toddlers.

I just made a parmesan crusted grilled provolone sandwich, which I must say was delicious and ridiculously easy to make. I wish I had some home made soup to go with it, but we finished that a couple days ago. boo. Both of the girls are napping right now which should go in the record books as a miracle since I never get them both down at the same time. I should be packing right now, but I dont feel like it and would rather putz around the house and enjoy the quiet. The weather report has changed slightly for the mountains this weekend and although it still says snow on Sunday, the high for Monday is now in the mid 40s which is better than the 30s. It's interesting going away and bring all our own food with us....I don't think we've ever done this except for camping which is similar but different. We are going to make feta and sundried tomato stuffed burgers one night and I am excited. They are yummy. I'm a little nervous about the 4 hour drive with little ones, so please keep us in your thoughts. The DVD player in the van will help with Maddie, but Charlotte is unpredictable in the car. yoikes.

Well, I'm gonna go lay on the couch and read and think about needing to pack. Enjoy your weekend!
