This weekend we didn't have too much going on. Both girls were sick with colds, so it was a lot of chilling, nose-wiping and movie watching! In fact, Monkey told me on Friday that she was still feeling sick but "I think I'll get better with lots of rest and lots of watching {t.v}".
Saturday I had a photo job to do at Notre Dame Church for their annual "Living Stations of the Cross", and after that, I went shopping at Fabricland. I have been wanting for quite some time now, to learn how to sew, and I think the first thing I'll tackle is a pillowcase dress. I found some "easy" (we'll see) instructions online. Now I just need some time to try it!
I also went to Old Navy and got some great deals for my girls. I paid $3.99 for a pullover fleece sweater! And only $9.99 for a zip-up fleece! Those are great deals already, but knowing that it all will be worn by both girls is fantastic! I got a few other things also.
On Sunday, we were hoping to go to the Steinbach Aquatic Centre, but with both girls still having the sniffles, we decided against it. Instead we just got caught up on vacuuming, laundry etc. At one point during the day, Nick was attempting to make Peanut happy by running up and down the hall with her (she absolutely loves this, and she loves the "1-2-3" countdown that happens before too), and Monkey stopped coloring and said "Daddy don't run 'cuz you might break the house!" Too funny!
Sunday night was AWFUL! Monkey was up at least a dozen times talking and crying in her sleep, and we were on "high spit alert", and Peanut was up coughing so hard she was gagging and we ended up bringing her to bed with us. Nick took the couch (and Monkey's monitor with him), and I attempted to get some sleep with Peanut next to me randomly crying out, squirming about and kicking me tons.
I had to work on Monday at the doctor's office, so that was a challenge on so little sleep, but probably easier than being home with sick girls (poor Nick). At least Peanut had a solid 2 hour nap and Monkey watched a Little Einsteins movie.
And because typing it out is so much easier than handwriting it, here are the projects on my to-do list (in no particular order):
1. Living Stations posters for ND.
2. pillowcase dress
3. scrapbooking
4. finish canvases
5. upload current pics to facebook
6. order birthday presents for upcoming b-days (Sophie, Brea, Elaine)
7. work on projects for Monkey's upcoming b-day parties (water labels, invitations, goodie bags etc)
8. plan family party
9. show Nick "art" hanging things (for lack of a better word)
10. make more templates for Memories By Meagan blog
11. figure out end of the year teacher gifts
12. H-O-M-E sign
13. clean out computer armoire
14. finish organizing recipes
15. figure out Thank-you gifts (x2) for catechists
16. make glitter shirts for kids I know (plan, purchase supplies, etc)
think that's all!
