This weekend we did nothing but shop and go to birthday parties, or so it seemed. That, mixed in with some more of Lost. We're about 1/3rd of the way through Season 2... and still loving it!
The boys and I went shopping on Friday for birthday presents and a Father's Day present for Shawn. We also went to a thrift store (my favorite!) to browse and stopped at the grocery store on the way home. They don't love to shop - it's only slightly better than cleaning the house (not that they have to do very much... yet) - but they were good sports about the whole thing.
Shawn was super busy at work doing tons of testing so he worked a lot Friday and then had to be back at work on Saturday. So after we cleaned the house, we went shopping some more (a different thrift store - yes, I am addicted but I did find some cool stuff!) and then headed to Ria's daughter's birthday party. It was a Charlie and the Chocolate Factory theme... and never before in my life have I seen so much candy and chocolate! My children made pigs of themselves and it's a wonder they ever went to sleep that night!! They had fun with their friends.
Sunday, between loads of laundry, we went to yet another birthday party - this one in the park by our house for the little boy across the street who turned one. We didn't stay long because we needed to take Shawn's dad out for dinner for Father's Day. On the way home we stopped at Home Depot to pick up some more plants for our garden... the boys picked out a pumpkin plant (!) and I picked out two types of peppers and some sweet basil. It smells SO good! We still have plenty of room for strawberry plants, should I ever see some in the store. I have looked and looked and have not been able to find any to buy!! I'd love to pick fresh berries from our garden... One of these days I suppose.
Work has picked up a bit - we're having a decent month so far. Next week my boss is going to be on vacation so we're hoping to meet our goal a little earlier this month but I don't know if that'll happen. It's going to be a long week for me as I have to work on Friday to make up for her being gone (the horror! a 5 day week like a regular person!) and I'll have to work longer hours next week as well. Hopefully I'll survive. ;) I really am a part time kinda girl. Or I like to think I am. I just have too much to do and too little time to do it! I guess we'll figure it out.
Hope everyone out in blog world is having a great week so far...

I can't believe you still can't find strawberry plants. Good luck with your longer hours.
