This weekend has been busy, but not overly hectic. Lounged for a bit yesterday morning, then decided to sort through the girls' dressers to evaluate the need for new spring clothes and weed out the outgrown, faded and holey clothes that they always manage to wear whenever I am not around to object.
Half their jeans have holes in the knees, so I decided to cut them off into shorts and capris. Of course, I didn't want plain old cutoffs--so I headed out to buy fabric to make ruffles and ribbon for trim. I turned one pair into the cutest skirt for the twins using this guide. Making the skirt was a snap, but it took a full hour to rip the seams out of the jeans. I added a ruffle to the bottom using pink fabric with black polka dots and added a matching ribbon belt. Freakin' adorable.
All three girls were invited to a birthday party last night, so DH and I got to go out to dinner sans kiddos. We went to a new Mexican place and got a table on the patio overlooking the lake right at sunset. It was nice. I may have had more margaritas than necessary--but only because the waiter brought by a free one that didn't have a home. Who am I to turn down a free margarita?
Took the kids to Disney on Ice this afternoon. You've got to respect someone who can twirl another skater over his head while dressed like a lion. It was a nice girlie afternoon. (I could only get 4 tix--but I think DH was relieved.)
I need to look at some work stuff--but I am obviously delaying with this pointless post. I've been going 90 miles an hour for the last few weeks, and I really need a break. Unfortunately, now is not the time, because I have deadlines that would be impossible to meet if I took any time off. And I do appreciate my position--I know that there are many, many lawyers right now who wished they had the problem of too much to do.
