A Blessed Week

This week has been truly wonderful!  I got a lot accomplished and got to get together with some friends too.

Cason went to Mother's Day Out on Tuesday.  While he was there I stopped by Target for a couple things and then headed home to do things around the house.  I cleaned the bathrooms (including the showers/tubs ... often times I skip this b/c I don't like doing it), vacuumed, mopped the wood and tile floors, wiped down the stainless steal in the kitchen, dusted here and there, and got all of the clutter put away. It felt so good to have the house cleaned all at once.  After cleaning I got to shower and get ready all alone!  I even had time to paint my toe nails, which I've needed to do for a loooong time.  I love the time that I get to myself every Tuesday.  I left around 1:45 to go get Cason and when I got there, he immediately stopped playing and walked over to the door to see me.  I love that he's showing his affection.

On Wednesday, I went over to my friend Christina's neighborhood and we went on a walk with her, Riley, and her friend Joy.  We walked 3 miles!  It was a great change of scenery and I really enjoyed walking with other people and getting to talk.  I think we'll have to start walking with them more often! Cason liked it too because he and Riley (Christina's 1 year old daughter) got to look at each other and make noises together.

Thursday morning, I took Cason and Kona on a walk around our neighborhood.  We ventured outside the neighborhood and ended up walking 3 miles.  I was very impressed that Kona made it the whole way without giving up.  She was super tired when we got home!  Later that afternoon, we met Mary and her son Rich (2 years old) at the Frisco library.  Rich and Cason had fun looking at books.  Cason loved watching Rich play with the puppets and watching him walk around.  It was obvious that he was amazed at the things Rich could do.  We stayed about an hour and a half and then I headed over to Market Street to pick up some stuff for dinner.

Today, Friday, we went up to Prosper to walk with Katie and Jessica.  I am so thankful and blessed to be going on walks with my son and best friends of 17 years.   It still amazes me that we all live within 10 miles of each other.  How cool is it to think that back in 6th grade, God knew to bring us all together and literally give us a life long friendship!  On our walk today we went 2 miles.  Way to go Katie!! She is 38 weeks pregnant and didn't slow down once.  I seriously would have been plopped on my butt after the first mile back when I was preggo.  Since then I've kicked my lazy butt's butt though. :)

Tonight I am headed down to Waco to spend the weekend with my mom.  Dad is in Colorado with Auntie Carol and Auntie Linda.  I'm super excited to have a weekend away and thankful that AJ is such a good daddy!

K, well Cason is napping and I know he'll wake up at any moment so I better wrap it up so I don't run out of time and never finish this. :)
