Lovely Week Overdone

I have had a delightful week. One of the perks of being sick every other week is that I procrastinate less on the good weeks. I've got about 8-9 well days and this time I smashed them full.
My brother and sister-in-law visited this weekend - always fun - and the weather was purrrrrfect. We visited a pumpkin farm complete with a few farm animals that the kids got to feed. There was a dance party during which Jamie & Elisabeth taught the boys how to salsa dance. Watching the boys try to do simple dance steps AND shake their hips is hilarious. It's more of a rumpus shake.

I made a couple of trips due north to visit friends in Wisconsin; hosted some moms & kids from Jude & Owen's preschool for a morning of play in our enormous yard. A night out with Ben ("The Town" is a good flick).

Each activity is quite reasonable - a couple of hours of family fun in an otherwise quiet day. It seems, however, to be a little much for me right now. Saturday morning I fell asleep unexpectedly for three hours. I just get so hopelessly tired sometimes. It's hard to keep the brakes on for months on end when there are cute little boys and delightful friends involved. It makes me want to AARGH.

It also makes me happy that there are so many wonderful, happy things in my life. It appears that my cup runneth over.

What good news! I'm so glad for you. Fun is good. And post-fun naps are good. And soon you will be declaring HALF DONE!!

Sounds like my kind of fall weekend. The ninety degree weather down here has made me stay away from the pumpkin farms at this time, but we are planning on going this weekend. I love the pinata....very cute.
