A holiday week

Though both kids were home from school, the week went by rather quickly. Tuesday, we went grocery shopping and then I dropped the kids off at the library with Snow to do crafts while I made dinner for everyone. It was my first time making prime rib and it turned out pretty well.

Prime rib, ratatouille, and garlic potatoes


Wednesday, we went to the outlet and shopped until they kicked us out. We didn't get home until 10:30 and were exhausted, but I got some really good deals.

Thursday, I did three loads of laundry in the morning and then walked with the kids to Color Me Mine to do some ceramic painting. Sophie picked a Snow White piece and Lydia picked a unicorn. They were doing so well until Sophie dropped her princess and beheaded her, but at least now we know that she's still a bit too young for this activity.

Such concentration


Lydia likes colorful things


Friday, we had couple playdates. After lunch, Lydia preschool friend Ava came over and soon after, Snow brought her three kids. Snow and Ken went on a date night, so I watched the kids by myself for a couple hours until Trung got home. The kids were all pretty good, but it's definitely an experience.
