Friday....

Busy day.... including starting work at 6:30 this morning! Good thing I work from home cause I was in my jammies! That allowed me to take off around 11 to go pick up Subway for my lunch date with Emily at school. I'll go in on Monday with Aidan. After picking up the kids from school we headed right to Sam's... to get a few things and some samples...and the kids got a snack ( churro and a chocolate frozen yogurt). The temp has gone up from the 63 degrees around lunchtime to 79 around 4! Very strange weather we are having - with snow in the south today. The front should go through in a couple of hours here with lots of rain and thunderstorms. Since it is just overcast and windy... I have the kids power washing the mold off the driveway. A necessary task down here in Florida. They will take turns and if they get 2 of the 12 cement squares done (1 each) I will be happy. The other is shooting hoops waiting for their turn.


Me... I got a little sewing time in and was able to finish the brown birds in the air blocks this week. Linking up to the RSC Challenge on Saturday. It is nice to know they are all done and just waiting for me to sew them into a top. Not sure that will happen this month but they are there when I am ready!


I think it will be family movie night since the weather will be yucky. Time to get the kids into John Candy and the movie 'The Great Outdoors'! I love this movie and hope the kids do too. Aidan was watching Canadian Bacon with Greg the other night - too funny watching them both giggle to that movie!

I don't envy your kids with the power washer - i have to do that with my porch and deck/and driveway area at least once a year - should do it twice a year but I just can't make myself do that

Our weather is getting colder as well. I don't know when we are expecting snow but I can live without it!

Weather is definitely a bit topsy turvey right now. It's warm, dry, and mild up north here in Colorado! Love those Birds in the Air blocks, glad you had a chance to work on some this week.

Sorry to hear you in the south are getting bad weather. We had a great warm winter day, hubby went riding. Love the brown birds.

Loving those BITAs!
We've had mild weather here so far, with temps mostly between freezing and 50. It's only been in the past few days that we've had a light dusting of snow. Not like my Vermont days at all...
