I might catch up by Monday
By Moriah on April 25th, 2009
We’ve been so busy this week my house has totally slipped down the priority list. Well, more like fell off. We’re also having highs in the upper 80′s so all the summer clothes got pulled out of the attic out of sheer necessity and are currently still strewn about the hallway, waiting for drawer space.
(Sidenote: while I was up there, the kids got curious and opened the hall door, which pushed the attic ladder and door up. I thought I was going to be trapped up there since Andy was already at work. But Drew was able to pull it down enough so I could step on his doorknob and jump. Nothing like a little bit of mid-afternoon drama.)
My birthday finale was last night. I’ve mentioned several times that I have a group of girlfriends who go out together for each other’s birthdays. (Self-organized. If you ask me to come to your birthday dinner, I’ll try my hardest to come… that is, you don’t have to twist my arm very hard for a girls night out.)
Anyway, we went to Andy’s new restaurant and drooled over our food. I am still kicking myself that I didn’t even get one photo. But I will show you a photo of the apron Nicky made me:
(It pays to have friends that are creative.)
So that was last night. Then this morning, our church youth ministry sponsored a free parenting conference, “Parenting on Purpose” and did all the childcare and served us lunch. It was fabulous. Our pastor and Sunday school teacher were speakers so I knew it would be. I’ll share a little of it this week when I get a minute to go over my notes, etc.
It ended around 2 and I made a beeline for home so Adelaide could get a decent nap (which she didn’t), and then one of my sisters came over so I could run to the store while they were all asleep. It was a lifesaver because our fellowship group meets tomorrow after church and we’re supposed to bring cookies (Oreo’s, anyone?) and also, I had planned on meeting Sarah for a picnic supper tonight at the park and needed something to actually, you know, feed my kids.
We had a great time; the weather was perfect and it wasn’t too crowded.
And now if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got Sunday clothes to get ready, winter clothes to throw up to the attic, banana bread to bake, a bathroom to clean, and the eternal laundry to fold.

Love the apron! I’ve been wanting a cute new one! Did you know you have pop-up surveys on here now?
Beautiful Apron!!! I probably would have been stuck up in attic all day if my boys did that. THey are so small. LOL
That apron is cuteness personified. Does Nicky have an Etsy shop? Because she should.
Hi, good post. I have been pondering this topic,so thanks for writing. I will certainly be coming back to your site.
