Weekends go by so fast.

Ahhh...another weekend come and gone. My friend Amy from college came over Saturday afternoon with her little boy, Carter. Amy just moved to St. Louis earlier this year, but this was the first time I had met Carter and she had met Abby and Adam. (She's been living in North Carolina since she graduated.) They had a lot of fun together. We ordered pizza and let the kids play. Adam tried to keep up with them. Brian came over, too. Abby loves Brian (another one of my close friends from college who was Seth's best man at our wedding - if you recall, Seth's best friend from college wasn't able to make it to the wedding at the last minute. He is also Abby's godfather). When I told her he was coming over, she said, "Funny Brian? My Brian?" She was excited.

Seth and I had a Christmas party to go to Saturday night. Our friends, Christina and Mike, have a Christmas party every year. They have dinner catered and then we just hang out the rest of the evening. It was fun. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures.

Today, I was very productive. I picked up the kids from my mom's and then took Abby to Sunday School. Adam and I went to Wal-mart to get some things - Abby needed stuff for school and a birthday gift for a party next weekend and we went to Dollar Tree to get some other stuff for her class's "Winter Party." Then she had a birthday party at 2 for her friend, Aiden, who is in her kindergarten class. Aiden lives in our neighborhood and I had met his mom several times, but this is the first time I have dropped Abby off at a birthday party and not stayed. She couldn't have cared less but it was kind of a monumental moment. Of course, she got hurt while she was there because they were jumping on a trampeline outside (despite the fact that it was really cold today) and she bumped heads with another kid. She has a red mark on the side of her face now, but she was ok. She really had a good time.

While she was at the party, I went to Borders to get some stocking stuffers for Christmas. I'm finally done with the kids now. That's a relief. Now, just everything else.

So, this upcoming week should be pretty laid back. Abby has her first dance recital on Saturday at 4:30 and a birthday party right after that for her friend Riley from her day care. Busy girl.

I am also proud to say that Adam seems to be turning an important corner - he seems to like me more. :) He is such a daddy's boy and I have to admit it stings when he only wants his daddy in the morning or when he's crying. Lately he's been asking for me a lot and I feel like the daddy-only stage might be on its way out. I think we're both glad because it gets tiring for Seth.

Oh - other exciting news. Seth still has a job. Seth's employer announced some layoffs on Friday and he was not affected. So, we'll be booking our Disney trip this week. Yay! More details on that once it's finalized. Have a great week!
