Weekend Fun

Hey All! The kids and I have had a fun weekend all on our own. Jason left for Italy on Friday afternoon, so we had to keep busy somehow. Holland and Taylor's friend Alyx spent the night on Friday and we watched movies until everyone fell asleep. Unfortunately, Alyx got sick in the middle of the night, but whe made it throught till morning anyway. Saturday we went outlet shopping for Easter outfits. Gymboree and Children's Place came through as always! The girls will look splendid in their matching (to their dismay and my pleasure) white skirts with flowers embroidered and hot pink tops. Jackson will be soooo handsome in his linen slacks and white button down, topped off with the cutest little suede bucs ever!! I even found a cute hot pink strapless dress to match at the Gap. I will add a white sweater to tame it down for church. Ha! Ha! When we returned home, Jackson napped and I introduced the girls to the world of Scrapbooking! They worked for 2 hours! Today we went to church, lunch at Wendy's and ended the weekend with a trip to Wal-Mart! We are now stocked and ready for the week.

A special thanks to Jennifer O'Connell for our new favorite recipe...Sausage Pie! Believe it or not, my evil, picky children ate every bite! Maybe it was because I told them it was Madeline's favorite...if so, I'll be using that line more often! Needless to say, I am happy to add one more thing to our very short list of meals.

Also, Jason is alive and well in Bologna, Italy. Yes. I said Bologna. It doesn't sound like a very exciting place. He is making his way around just fine. He ate at a nice Pizzeria today and watched some movies in his room. He is really living it up! Please pray for his safe return and that the kids and I don't get Alyx's stomach bug....I can't imagine much worse than 3 sick kids, one sick Mom, no Dad and a house on the market....
