We took our self-portrait at the beginning of the day again, I still look a bit haggard. I could list my grievances, but I won't...this is what I looked like yesterday so let's leave it at that.
Since the kids didn't have school Whitney spent the night with her cousins, and Landon came with me so he could spend the day with Lucas.
Landon and I didn't arrive until noon, so Michelle served these tasty pork tacos for lunch right away.
Max continued to defy my beliefs about flexibility and gravity as he sat at the computer doing school work. Could I ever have sat like that on a hard chair at the computer? I just don't know.
One of the reasons I can't sit like that is because I consume cookies like these. Michelle made a blog declaration earlier in the week that she is giving up candy for a month. She made this declaration without consulting me (wipe tears here) and without giving any thought to it being Cadbury Egg Season! She sent me into a tizzy of flashbacks and introspection as I explored my role as a treat enabler.
I adjusted all too well to just having cookies.
Michelle received a very awesome photo book she'd made through Shutterfly.com which was chock full of awesome photos from her daily life. I am completely smitten with photo books these days.
Eva was in great form even though she was totally stuffed up. She kept trying to entice the boys into paying attention to her while they played Killer Bunnies, but she didn't get much out of them.
She served Michelle and I many cups of tea in the world's cutest tea cups.
We sat at the table for about 4 hours but didn't get a ton done. Michelle made a set of photo cards from her stunning Paris photos, and I wrote about 6 cards.
We were so weary around 4:15 that we went downstairs to lie on the bed and watch a movie! Unprecedented! But we had the time, so why not?
**How was your Friday?**
Comment Window Tidbit: I had a phone appointment with Betsy this morning and ended up laughing so hard that my abs still feel like I had a workout!

A tizzy of flashbacks and introspection?! What the?
I'm kind of cracking up that we went to lie down and watch a movie. But you're right, why not? I love that we were both in the same mood.
It was great for me that you were there when my book arrived because you were as excited as I was!
Sounds like a great way to pass a Friday to me! I spent the day in bed catching up with The Kardashians more than I wanted to, texting friends, and reading The Hobbit.
My kids are off school next Friday, which should be interesting.
It is impossible to get things done with kids around (even big kids!)
I love that you refer to the fact that it is cadbury egg season and the gall of Michelle to give up candy during this time! I love cookies more than candy and I actually have been thinking about Michelle lately and wondering if I could give up sugar--I don't think so.
Glad the two of you watched a movie. What did you watch?
Love that book and I think I am seriously going to have to check into that!
6 cards, that sounds pretty productive to me.
My daughter has that same cute teaset. Sadly, we broke the pink plate the other day. That's what I get for giving a 2 year old a porcelain teaset! (but I just couldn't resist it's cuteness!)
Looks like another fun creative friday!
Looks like a great Friday. Were you guys glad to be back on your regular day?
How could she quit candy without telling you? What will replace the M&Ms? I love how you refer to this as "Cadbury Egg Season". Classic.
Both of you look good in that photo! Michelle's hair looks so long and straight... when did that happen? I am jealous!
Michelle's hair is getting long!
How can Max sit like that? And not be in pain?
Yeah, no candy during Easter season? But the eggs! What of the eggs?!
I think I'd love a photo books of pictures from someone else's daily life. Not so much mine. I don't have enough pretty surroundings in my room, and there's nothing worse photographing at my office.
