lately...

Here are just a few pictures from the last week to catch up.  We have been really busy lately, with both Caden and myself trying to have a strong last six (or so) weeks of school.  Caden's baseball started Monday, and I am looking forward to cheering him on at his games.  During practice, Laica wanted to go play on the playground and I met another mom while we were there.  I cannot remember her name, but based on ten or fifteen minutes of conversation, I can tell that baseball practice will be entertaining.  :)  I am not always the most social person, so it surprised me when she sort of made plans to see us next week, same place.  My text to Cody afterward, "I just made a mom friend at the park, it was kind of sweet."  

Saturday, the kids and I visited our local art museum and "Justin's library."  (Cody's best friend works at one of the libraries in town.)

I sure do love these little stinkers, even if they are spoiled rotten.  

On Monday in the middle of driving somewhere during the workday, I got a flat tire.  On Campbell.  Wearing a dress.  Luckily, I had someone not too far behind me.  Unluckily, neither of us had a jack and I had to wait at my car for awhile.  I also had to help with it--and while I appreciated the hands-on lesson that I received, I was wearing a dress.  Not the worst day, but definitely an annoyance.

After the tire debacle, we wrapped up work early for the day, (have I ever mentioned that I LOVE working for myself?) and I came home to find this guy, looking pretty cute on my bed.

Meet Dickey, Cody's cat.  Those that know me well know that I am not a huge animal person, but every once and awhile I will pet him.  He gets a lot of attention from Cody, so he is certainly not neglected. 

Got some fabric and busted out the sewing machine.  I am not finished yet (maybe this weekend--haven't sewn in forever and I need a new package of straight pins) but am hoping this will turn into my new favorite skirt for spring and summer.  

 
Adding baseball to our mix of work, school, gymnastics, and yoga means that we will be even more busy than usual, but I wouldn't have it any other way.  We are looking forward to a fun-filled weekend.  Tonight, I am going with some friends to the season opening of an antiques house in Billings.  Looking forward to a little leisure time away from the house, but over all it has been a great week.  I get to meet a new baby that is coming Monday, and couldn't be more excited about it.  Had lunch with the mom-to-be yesterday (Hi, Kasey!) and I guess she is a little excited and ready to meet him, too.  

Have a great weekend!
