so many good things happening in and around asheville. we started the weekend off by playing outside for hours after school on friday. from there i had the privilege of spending the remainder of the evening with a great friend. we indulged in a pedicure - and somehow probably through osmosis my inability to pick out an attractive toe color rubbed off on her. from there we enjoyed a quiet dinner at a charming little cafe and over a bottle of wine we caught up on the happens of the past week and made plans for our SITC (sex in the city) night out.
saturday morning pete and the kids treated me to breakfast in bed; pancakes, fresh berries, and fresh brewed coffee. this only happens about once a year so needless to say i was quite tickled. from there pete took off with a friend and hit the bike trails. the kids and i enjoyed the fresh air and played in the rain. swim lessons, a trip to the nursery, lunch at moe's and then home for a quick nap before we set off to help ricky celebrate his 6th. once again kate was the only little girl at the party but that didn't stop her from shinning. at this age it is all so innocent and they are all just pals. kate was taught how to tango and the mambo and let ricky swirl and dip her. i am not which of them felt more special, kate or ricky.
today was crazy. trey was up early and pete took off. taking the kids to church proved to be a bit more then we may have been ready for. kate was enjoying the children's chapel but i had to pull her out because trey just couldn't keep his voice down. but what 2 year can? i did however enjoy the 10 minutes he sat quietly on my lap. from there we grabbed a quick lunch, then groceries, then shoes shopping for kater. she needed some new sneaks and a pair of pretty shoes as she would call them. after a quick nap we grabbed some bags and hit the road. in honor of EARTH DAY we walked through the neighborhood and picked up trash. we played in the meadow and met some new neighbors before retuning home for dinner, baths books and bed.
nothing spectacular nor grand about this weekend yet it is one that leaves me feeling very full and very satisfied. so many precious moments - so many lesson learned.

great picture of dig and it sounds like a great weekend. I am looking forward to the SITC movie too. Do you think I will be able to drag Steve to it?
Enjoying the little bits...so good.
are we talking about Sex AND the City- like the new movie coming out or are you having a party thingy called Sex IN the city? I am confused. At any rate I am REALLY looking forward to that movie, Sandahl and I are already planning. Beth- I highly suggest you wrangle Jen into going with you because there ain't no way Steve's gonna put up with that. I mean, he's cool and all, but no man is THAT cool. Hehe.
