Weekending

Joining in with Amanda from Habit of Being for another weekending post....

This weekend had some ups and some downs...
A Friday night call to the emergency room
after Phoebe woke at 11 o'clock with a flushed face
and a temperature of only 95.4 F!
Fevers I am used to, but a low temp was a mystery...
still not sure why it dropped so low...
and the worry has not completely disappeared.

Saturday was the day we planned on volunteering
together, as a family, to do some planting.
However, with Phoebe's scare the night before,
plans changed
and we made our way to a holiday film instead.
We made the best ever snowflakes
for the second year running,
And took the dogs for a jaunt in the park.
Some sewing, some knitting, and some last minute shopping
also made their way into the day.
I finished the night with some knitting in bed
while netflix documentaries were filling my head.

Sunday morning was quite lazy:
A leisurely breakfast, a walk with the dogs.
Some cleaning, some sewing, some ornament making.
After lunch came an adventure:
A holiday train with a few of Finn's friends!
There was garland and lights and holiday tunes
And... someone special was there,
his name starts with S and he dresses in red.
I bet you can guess who it is!
The train adventure was followed by
a dinner disaster at a Mexican restaurant.
Back to the house for
bath time and jammies
and 2 tuckered kids all tucked in their beds.


How was your weekend?
