Done for the Day

After a soccer game this morning and 3 birthday parties , I've decided to call it quits for the day and plant my rear on the couch for the remainder of the evening and watch some football. I don't care at the moment that my house is messier than it has been in weeks. I don't care about the mountain of laundry. I also do not care that the recycleables are taking over my kitchen and garage. I am wiped out! The girls have had a blast today and Annelise and I had lunch together in the Mall (where one of the parties occured) as a special "girls day treat" for the two of us. She and I really enjoyed that. It's something we are going to do more often. She was so sweet and just thought it was the greatest thing that she and I did something alone. I sometimes just don't realize how grown she is now! She went to a party at Build-A-Bear for one of her best friends. She chose a pink and white leopard to stuff and take home, complete with a pink sequin dress, pink flats and a pink sequin purse. Those stuffed animals have a better wardrobe than I do! She bestowed the name "Alice" upon her leopard and is very proud of her creation. Emmaline is busy playing with her huge Magnetix set we gave her for her birthday and B is outdoors planting bushes. Which leaves me here on the couch alone- until I have to get up and cook something in about 30 minutes.......... ;0)
