Last weekend of summer freedom...

and it's over. I was thinking about it last night. It was Sunday night and I wasn't stressing about getting laundry finished, groceries for the week or any of that sort of stuff. I knew I still had days during the week to get it all done. There's so much relief in knowing that. But coming this Thursday, I will have to start getting up early and doing the whole working mom thing. Which means, Sundays full of stress, rushing to get things done in preparation for the week. I just hate that feeling.
At least the last weekend of freedom was a good one. Friday, Addy and I went to visit my friend Penny and her adorable twins who are turning one this week. It was so fun to see Addy interact with them. She watched them crawl everywhere and you could see the little wheels turning in her brain. "I want to move like that!" She had another friend visit with her little one year old and we took all 4 kiddos to the neighborhood pool. It was a great afternoon. Here's a pic of Addy and the twins.

Saturday I had a yummy lunch with 2 girlfriends that I don't get to see enough of. Addy came along and although she missed her morning nap, she was still a good girl. Puffy Muffin never disappoints me, it's always so good. It was a nice time catching up with some good friends. />
Sunday was church and it's so refreshing to look forward to going to church. I still don't know a lot of people but I can't get over how super friendly everyone is. And it's great to have 2 friends we have known for years to start attending. Sunday night we had a birthday celebration for the couple I mentioned in earlier posts who are like our little brother and sister. They share the same birthday, how cute is that? Anyways, an evening full of great laughter was the perfect way to close out this last weekend of summer break.
The stay at home mom thing is looking better and better...
