Refreshing Weekend

I am so thankful that Hubby was willing to do without me this weekend. I got to do a lot this weekend, thanks to him, I definitely feel more energized and ready to face the day to day challenges with a better perspective now.

Last night I got to go to the annual Fray-Mill Home School Dinner/Sleepover. It was great to meet up with these women, I always feel invigorated after hanging out with them. We had fun playing games, eating good food, inspirational message, and chatting with women who all have a different experience home schooling, but we always seem to find unity together. I didn't end up staying all night, I left around 3am.

Today I got to go get my hair cut, just a trim. I know that doesn't sound like much, but it was great to get out alone today. After getting my hair cut, I went to lunch with myself and a book. I enjoyed my meal and a good amount of time reading. Then I got to swing by a friend's house, a thrift store and found some great priced books. Then I got to go out to see Bedtime Stories with some friends and out to eat some awesome Thai food. Simple, but wonderful day.

While I was gone, Child #1 found a recipe to make vanilla cupcakes from scratch. She made them unassisted, except for Hubby getting the cupcake liners down for her and telling her she would need to use them. She didn't realize you used them in the pan before you cooked them. She placed the cupcakes in the liners after she got them out of the oven. I just thought that was cute. I also have to find out what frosting recipe she used, because it was the best tasting frosting I think I've ever had! She even cleaned up her mess afterward.
