this weekend was long and easy going
kids running around the yard, kids in the hose
there were walks around the neighborhood
feeding the ducks
homemade popsicles
and well, lots and lots of nothing
despite all the nothing there was lots of laughter and silliness
laying in bed last night nursing the little bit
the mr. playing words with friends
reading me letters when he was dealt a crap hand
him: iitqewe. seriously? what am i supposed to do with that?
me: (in my most affected voice possible) T double E double R…*
him erupting in riotous laughter because he gets me, my wacky sense of humor
it was one of those weekends that helped me remember
how very lucky i am to be here and part of all of this love
mad, crazy love

I love times when the nothingness equals a whole lot of goodness.
Those ‘nothing’ weekends are the best. I wish I had more of them…

Your weekend sounds so silly and relaxing. I love it.
We went on an egg hunt and to the beach:

the laughter and the silliness are often the best by-products of doing nothing. it all sounds wonderful!

You are so right. Doesn’t it just make it all the better with a guy who gets you. Your weekend sounds perfect, stillness and popsicles and laughter. It’s what we all should have, regardless of a holiday. How did you do on sugar’s big day with your plan? I thought of you as I polished of my second pound of mini eggs, thought I should follow suit, or at least cut back. Love your top picture, it compliments your words so well.
Sounds like a perfect, relaxing weekend! Here’s ours! http://ihappyree.blogspot.com/2012/04/easter-weekend.html
Awww, I love that little story at the end.
But I won!!! I am so happy! Thank you; off to email my address right now. Thanks so much for hosting this giveaway.

We had some playing in the hose as well! Your weekend sounds perfectly relaxing.

Your weekend is reminding me a lot of my world when I was a little one – lovely in a nice, slow, old-fashioned kind of way.

i escaped easter unscathed! i did have a date night with ben & jerry’s chocolate therapy (oh, the irony) but otherwise, another week sugar free!
Oh I love the words with friends in bed story. Sounds like us around here, though I am not nursing anyone:) I remember those days so fondly.
