...I'm sitting here in the family room waiting for Toben to come home. He's been in Phoenix for the past two days, and should be home any minute.
What was going to be a stay at home, watch movies, relaxing kind of day ended up being different. I had coffee this morning with the communications director at church--it was fun to meet her and hear a little of her story and talk about church and ministry and worship. And she showed me the prayer room that does exist at my church. It's beautiful--and I'll be spending my next retreat day there.
I came home and started a movie--Robin and Marian with Sean Connery and Audrey Hepburn. Then Kristen called and said she and mom were going to Patina, one of our favorite antique stores, and did I want to come along? Well, duh! So I went and found the coolest treasure...pictures coming. (Patina is located here for all you Denver area people. Sorry, couldn't find their website--they may not have one.)
Then it was time to pick up the girls from school. Audrey had a swimming birthday party to go to at the rec center, so Emma and I went to Target to get new flip flops for our trip to Phoenix next week. Plus some new towels for the girls' bathroom, some games (I really want to be a family that plays games and the girls love to play games, but I'm tired of Mancala, UNO, and Connect 4--fun, but those seem to be all we ever play), boring stuff like shampoo and saline solution--then a quick trip to the library (something that doesn't cost money--hooray!), over to Mom's to figure out her scanner, then back to get Audrey, home for 35 minutes for her to shower, back to Mom's to get her and go to a jewelry party, and now we're home again and it's 9:30. Phew.
On top of yesterday where I was home for only one hour all day, I'm ready for the weekend. And being home. And I'd like to finish my movie!
I'm looking forward to an afternoon & evening alone today. So much to do, so little time...

Been one busy day here so far already...two cakes baked...Spiderman cakes, by the way. Have to decorate them still...laundry and more laundry...ironed on Power Ranger logos onto six different shirts...all the power ranger colors, of course...yellow, pink, red, blue, black, green...our oldest is the green ranger. Yes, he's 17. Spiderman? Power Rangers? It's Super Heroes night at our Sweetheart Banquet. The youngest boy is going as an Army Black Knight...let' face it...they are THE ultimate super hero. The spousal unit is going as the Terminator...he did turn to the good side, remember. And I'm going as myself...Superwoman/Supermom. Every day life.
The girl has a formal dance tonight. She's going with The New Boyfriend.
I'm sure I'll be blogging and putting pics on sometime this week!
Welcome back Toben.

Sounds like a very busy day...my day was like any usual saturday...grocery shopping...sitting in the Addison Park and drinking coffee...
Well I had a question for you..I was planning to bake a cake for some of my close frenz...and cause I have never baked in my whole life I picked a pack of dunkan hines cake mix.....it should be simple enough for starters like me...but I can't add eggs as we are vegeterians..the directions are to allow 4 eggs...I am sure if the cake will be soft enuf without eggs...will welcome your suggestions..

Suggestion for game night....have you checked out Apples to Apples Jr. yet? We love the grown up version and think our oldest, Jack (6), is about ready to play the Jr. edition.
