a small break in the madness

it's midterms week for me and latt, and we just finished a belly dancing convention (shimmyfest) all weekend and are gearing up for an all weekend craft fair that starts tomorrow. furthermore, rowan's third birthday is thursday, and we have a Katrina evacuee couple coming to layover here for a few days this weekend.

in the midst of all this scurrying to and fro, my mama (bless her country heart) is here, visiting, doing laundry, cleaning countertops like i never seem to find time for, and most importantly, playing with rowan while we work madly. if she weren't here, rowan would be watching WAY too much kipper and dora this week!

as a lovely bonus, she stayed with the kids and latt and i were able to get a way for a VERY rare lunch date on sunday. we really never leave rowan, as we don't have those kinds of friends here in the area, so this was a really nice break. i got to flirt with my husband, have a conversation NOT interrupted a thousand times to keep rowan in her chair or keep jackson from just eating meat and bread, and even eat something with cheese in it (my kids are really sensitive so i usually opt out too, to keep things easier for them).

did i mention i got to flirt with my handsome husband?
