wow, been quite a day…

the kids all slept over last night and the adults headed off for a couple of days of snowboarding around eight this morning…

cleaning the tank…

the little boys spent the morning with me and we cleaned the fish tank – something they always did with Grandpa, fed the fish, read books, did a puzzle and watched cartoons…

after which we fed them…

they were picked up just after noon and I headed out for a birthday lunch with my BS buddies…  we had a lovely time after which I went to a purse party with one of the group…  we had to head out of the city for about half an hour and it was a good day for a drive…

we shopped and had lots of fun and returned home slightly poorer, but with some very nice items ordered…

once home, I headed to bed for a nap because the littlest boy was up a few times during the night and I had a very difficult time getting to sleep… and of course waking up at 6:30 didn’t help either, lol…

I had thought that the coming anniversary of George’s death wasn’t going to be that difficult to deal with, but my level of anxiety has been rising since yesterday… I am not looking forward to Tuesday, but also want to commemorate George’s passing…

last year’s February sleep-over…

I hope that the next few days will be filled with calm and happy memories…
