Everybody's working for the weekend!

This was a busy week. I didn't get around to all the usual blogs this week because I've been so swamped with work and puppy doo-ty. I just wrote up my schedule and to do list for next week and there are meetings every day. They're all phone conferences so I don't have to even wear make up, but still! I've got remember when they are and get on the calls.

The puppies need their 6 week shots on Tuesday and I may have to report for jury duty that same day.

hmmm. This could be tricky.

But before I start planning for next week, let's take a peek at the weekend. Because that's what keeps me going!

Tonight we're going to get to see Maddy in her jazz band camp concert. It's the final night and it'll be so nice to have her home again. NOT that she's home much when she IS at home... But I like knowing where my kids are and who they're with.

I keep wondering if she'll accidentally find her twin there and they'll swap places and try and trick us... But I really don't know what the motive would be since we're not living the lives from The Parent Trap... But that never stopped anyone in my family from pulling pranks!

On Saturday, a girl from our 4H group, Meri and I will be attending our ASG (American Sewing Guild) meeting where we'll be doing our Community Sewing project! We'll spend the morning making pillowcase dresses for the Dress A Girl Around The World project.

My cousin's daughter went to Haiti a couple weeks ago and sent back some pictures which her mom posted on Facebook immediately. Elaine is holding a little Haitian girl who was wearing one of these very dresses! Apparently that was the day that Dress a girl around the world people were delivering the pillowcase dresses. Some little girls would strip off right there and change into them. Some took their dress and ran for home to hang it up for special occasions. It's so great to see them being put to good use. I can't wait to tear into this pattern and see how many my group can get done tomorrow!

And then Sunday is, of course, Father's Day. I won't tell you what we're giving my hubby, since he reads this blog every day. But let's just say, I hope the kids poked holes in the box!

We'll have a quick Father's Day lunch after church and then tell him to hit the road!

Actually he has to... He's attending a church convention this week where he's a delegate and he has to register by 5pm. The kids and I used to go with him every year, but ever since I started this new job (has it been almost 6 years?) it hasn't worked out for me to take that week off from work.

While he's in meetings all day, the kids and I would explore the college campus where it was held. Or go to the Minneapolis zoo, Mall of America or anything else we found online to visit. Did you know there's a safari type place you can drive through up there? We couldn't find that... We didn't have a GPS at the time or I'm sure we would have.

Visiting Mexican Village restaurant in Mankato and the Mankato petting zoo. And yep, that was the year of the stuffed kitten con...

Have a wonderful weekend and tell us all about it on Monday!
