We started the weekend off with a bang. Or should I say kick? Lexi tested for her green belt Friday night. I had video of her breaking her board but just as she was breaking it, my phone ran out of space so I didn’t get it filmed. But she did great and I fully expect her to be presented with her green belt during the next class. She’s serious about getting to that black belt and I have no doubts she’ll do it!
Saturday morning I got some much needed rest. The kids spent the night with Scott’s parents and Scott went out for a bike ride first thing Saturday. Even if I had laundry waiting on me, I just couldn’t make myself do anything with an empty house.
We were out before lunch though to see our hometown parade. The Nation’s Ford band, one of the high schools in town, marched in Macy’s a few weeks ago and it was great seeing them. The kids had a blast and it’s a great tradition they love.
Saturday evening Emma ended up staying with my sister-in-law all evening so it was just the three of us. We did a little Christmas shopping and had a nice steak and potato dinner.
Sunday was church and then we took it easy at home. I had some major, er, stomach issues for the afternoon so I was no good to anyone. This is when I’m thankful the kids are a bit older and can entertain themselves if I’m in the bed sick for an hour or two. I was soon up though and we went to the mall for a bit so Emma could spend some birthday money and I picked up another Christmas present. My family came over for the evening to spend some time with the girls and we worked on my bedroom a bit deciding on fabric as I think my mom is going to make some curtains for me for Christmas. I think we’re going to go with the fabric from my dining room. I am nothing if not consistent.
There was no 5:30 wake-up for me this morning. I think I was still catching up from last week being so tired. But I’m ready to start the week. I can’t believe it’s December and in just a few weeks it will be Christmas!
