24 usable hours

Friday and Saturday have been busy days.  I feel like the energizer bunny. :)

To recap:

Friday:

• Kids woke me up at 6:30. (woo!  got to sleep in a little)
• Got Charly to school by 8am.
• Came home and made some chocolate ganache for a truffle order.
• Aydan REALLY wanted to play in the snow, so I bundled the kids up and took them outside for a bit.  It was nice to take some time out and just play with them.
• I had everyone inside and settled down in time for me to get going on work by 10am.  I had already checked emails to make sure there wasn't anything urgent first thing in the morning.
• The next eight hours or so was work, kids, work, work.  Mark had PT in the morning, but as soon as he got home, he was able to take over kid duty so I could go downstairs and plow.  I wanted to get as much done as I could, so I could go in to the weekend with a clear brain.  Easier to relax that way.
• About 5:30, we went up to the church for the Soup Supper.  We let the kids run around for a while, we ate some food, and visited with the Cardenas's and everyone else there.
• We left the church a little about 7 o'clock and we drove the kids around town so they could see the lights.  Every time we came up to a house with lights, Peyten would hollar "mom!", lol.  "Yes Peyten....I see them" ;)
• Once we got home, I went back out again to go up to the church to do some cleaning.  I cleaned from about 8-10:30.
• After I got home from that, I continued making the truffles and made some toffee as well.
• I was able to get both done and even got the toffee measured out and bagged.
• I finished watching an episode of Covert Affairs and was in bed about 1:30am.

Saturday:

• The kids woke me up about 7am.  Well, they crawled in to my bed earlier than that...first Aydan and then Charly, but they didn't get me out of bed until 7. 
• Peyten slept past 7, so I took the opportunity and snuck a shower in first thing.
• A little after 8, I made chocolate banana pancakes for everyone.  YUM!  One of my favorite foods.
• I had no plans today except to get some things done, so I just mosied about. 
• I made two loaves of banana bread for an order - one plain and one chocolate
• The kids went outside with Mark and Dan to play in the snow. 
• Peyten played outside for a bit, but then she came inside and took a nap. (a short one)
• I finished wrapping and labeling all the truffles and toffee for Dan and Dana's order.
• After Mark came in with the kids, he had to leave to go meet up with his boss for a bit.
• The kids made a rice krispie treat Christmas house with Dana and Dan.
• A little after noon, I put in Goonies for the kids and then made them lunch - pb&j and mac n cheese.
• I put Peyten down for another nap at about 1:30.
• Mark was home by this time and I ended up taking a nap about 2 o'clock.  I told Mark to come get me in a half an hour.  Well, 2-1/2 hours later, I get up from my nap.  I remember Mark coming in there once and I mumbled to let me sleep longer.  I was so out.  I guess he had come in there three different times, lol.
• I got started baking some stuff for coffee hour at church in the morning.  Two loaves of banana bread, oatmeal raisin cookies, and some pumpkin bars. 
• We realized that we should probably eat some dinner, so Mark ran to the store and got a take n bake pizza. 
• After dinner, we picked out a movie off of Netflix. 
• We made a pallet on the floor, got the kids in their pj's and watched Snowglobe.  Aydan passed out half way in, but the girls watched the whole movie.  Charly liked it a lot.  It was cute.
• Now the kids are in bed, Mark and I are watching The Expendables.  I probably won't be up too late tonight.

Sunday looks like:

• Wake up in the morning. 
• Charly and I will head out a little early and hit the grocery store for a couple things and then be at the church by 9am.  I am filling in for Kathy for Sunday school.  Should be interesting since I have never done that before! lol
• A little before 10:30 Mark will show up at church with the other two and we will see how many kids I get in nursery during church.
• After service the Unrath's are in charge of coffee hour, so we will put out our spread.
• After church, I am going to load the kids up and take them to Holton to visit my Dad and Claudia.  We have no set plans, just to hang out and relax. 
• After we get back to Holton and put the kids in bed, I will make two pumpkin rolls, some peanut butter cups, and some toffee for a couple orders.

And then it is back to work Monday!
