Quiet Weekend

Really quiet. I was home by myself for most of it. Caught up on tv, enjoyed the new ipod. No scrapping time though and that was a bummer. The entire weekend was spent catching up on painting, and well, I'm still a little behind. For those that asked, I have been painting artwork for kids rooms. Mostly stuff to match bedding. People email me pics, and I try to match the bedding the best I can. I've always loved painting, so it's been a fun thing to do. I just got overwhelmed for a bit, because I never expected it to get soooo busy. But now I'm playing catch up.

Friday night was some kinda wonderful. I dropped the kids off at my mother in laws after Cameron got home. Eric and I went to a restaurant that we had never been to called Catahoula's. It was a rare occassion. I actually ordered a steak. Those of you who know me well know that I don't eat steak. Period. I have NEVER ordered steak in a restaurant before in my entire life. And I seldom eat it at home. If we are cooking steaks, I usually eat chicken or a pork chop. I've just never been a fan of a slab of meat. But this one was some yummy. It was a filet mignon stuffed with crab meat covered with a lump crab meat sauce. Yeah, that was right up my alley. And I ate every bite, and I even finished mine before Eric finished his. (We ordered the same thing). So there you have it, my first steak experience. Eric was shocked that I ordered a steak. I tried to get a few pics of us that night, but I've discovered that taking a pic of yourself is not as easy with a big ole camera. So alas, every pic looked like I had 3 or 4 chins. Well, I probably do, but I surely do not need to share that with you all. LoL.

Saturday and Sunday, Eric was helping his sister roof her garage all day. He brought the kids both days to run around and play with their cousins. So the house was extremely quiet. And she bought him a new video ipod for helping. So, now we both have one.
Cameron slept there again last night with his cousins. He's outta school until Thursday for the Mardi Gras holiday. We don't do Mardi Gras. I used to before I got married. But well, let's just say that one year I pretty much saw a man get shot. I heard the shots and saw the body and that pretty much ruined me on it forever. And Eric feels the same. Especially having young kids now. So we usually just stay home and enjoy the quiet day. The kids don't seem to mind. ;)
