"Weekends are a bit like rainbows; they look good from a distance but disappear when you get up close to them." ~John Shirley

Normally our weekends are nice and quiet. Nothing planned. Grocery shopping, finding new parks to play at, playing games, taking naps, stuff like that. However, it seems that one weekend a month ends up a bit busy. This weekend was that weekend.

a list on our weekend:

• lost my voice
• breakfast club, a high light of the month
• hung up a 'headboard' for our bed, finally
• finished cleaning our closet, again
• mailed packages that were piling up
• found out other friends from book club have not been reading les mis, i am not alone! (well, i didn't even try to start, but whatever)
• got a really cute sweater from a friend
