A few days to relax

     Well this 3 day weekend is wrapping up and it has been very laid back yet surprisingly productive. Ball season has wound down so my schedule is clearing up significantly! Friday evening we attended Makayla's end of the season t-ball team party. It was a pool party, she had an awesome time and left with her very first trophy. She got a medal for biddy-ball but she's been anticipating an actual trophy for some time now. I'm happy to report as soon as we walked in the door it had a nice new home on her shelf right next to her team photo!
     Saturday there was absolutely nowhere I had to go which was so nice since it's been months since there's been nothing on the agenda. I took advantage of this by giving my house some attention. Bathtubs/sinks/toilets scrubbed (yuck), furniture moved and vacuumed under (I think I found enough crayons to make a whole new box), couch steamed, all rugs & bath mats cleaned and then I tackled my biggest challenge...Makayla's room. It's amazing to me how much stuff a person who has been alive for less than 5 years has accumulated! I try to stress that everything has a place and should be kept there but she seems to think that place is the floor and all things belong there. By the end of the day everything was clean...even the dog got a bath!
     Sunday we went to church, came home and did some laundry then Mak, Bailey (the dog) and I headed to the park where we were able to meet up with the hubby. His hours and days off allow no time for family fun on the weekends so this is how we improvise!  Today has been pretty laid back. We washed my car earlier and now we're just "chillaxing" as my step-daughter would say!
     Now it's time to plan the summer calendar and more things seem to keep popping up so I'm glad we had a few days to relax.Tomorrow I go back to work and Mak goes back to school for her last day. Then she's out for the summer and back to daycare. Swim lessons will be in a couple of weeks, I'm trying to plan a trip to visit my grandmother in Hot Springs, family reunions, camping for the girls with their grandmother...and of course we have to find some time for my husband to take off so we can hit the lake (my favorite summer activity)!
