Is the weekend over already?

Even though I'm home full time, I somehow still look forward to the weekend and am a bit sad when it's over. Probably because that is the time that we have together as a family. This weekend was spent with our small church group on Friday evening, at 2 birthday parties on Saturday and then the ballet on Sunday. Saturday, we went to Seth's first birthday party. unfortunately, we weren't able to stay very long but Abby had a great time while we were there. Then we were off to Nana's birthday dinner. (Jon's mom) We went to Maggiano's restaurant in Troy. It was very good and we had a very nice time. Happy birthday Nana!! Sunday, I took Abby to the Children's Ballet Theater of Lansing's performance of Sleeping Beauty. Since she is in dance class, I thought it would be fun to go. Little did I know that it was a 3 hour long show. That's right...3 hours. There was no way that Abby was going to sit that long. Plus, I'm sure she thought that there would be people talking and it would be more like the movie. About a 1/2 hour into it, Abby turned to me and whispered "Mama, will the princesses be done dancing soon?". So needless to say, we went out into the lobby for lots of breaks but she actually made to about the 2 hour and 40 min mark. I have to be honest, by that time, I was ready to go home too. It was a very nice ballet and the kids dancing in it did very well, but that's a long time for anyone to sit with toddlers!
Here are some recent pics...



This picture cracks me up. I never noticed it before and it was taken last fall...
