I think I have mentioned this before, no?
Three days is, in my opinion, the minimum length of time that is acceptable for a weekend. Enough time to relax, to play, to go places, see shows, visit a festival, shop, cook, bake, and even clean a little bit.
Two more baskets of laundry to fold and we're caught up!
In the meantime, here are some pictures of our lives as of late.
To begin, a few from last weekend, snagged off Nat's camera.

Preparing for the Valentine Party....

| Those cookies never saw it coming! |
Second Sunday Soup! With Hearts!

| Its strange to say, but I really do think I like the living room arrangement right now. This is me in my "spot", facing the fireplace and TV, coffee table at easy reach. Phone in hand. |

Valentines in bed! The children were thrilled to receive cash in several Valentines this year. Here they are excitedly opening a package from Lulu...
Saturday we headed to Playhouse Square again, for a Zydeco concert. A theater full of dancing children, beads being thrown, an accordion... it was grand. A beautiful morning to be out downtown.. Lunch with Gram and Bec in the theater lobby rounded out the morning...
We headed back to the city in the evening for the Brite Winter Festival. Ohio City opened its doors to the world with concerts and art. We spent most of our time in the Festival Square-- lined with food trucks, two fires burning in the center, a band playing, craft booths and interactive art exhibits including giant Skeeball and Plinko games scattered throughout, it was a delight. Oh, and as we arrived, giant cottonball snowflakes began to flood the air, blanketing our coats and hair and the world at large, proclaiming that this was a winter festival indeed...

| We only look like hobos. We were actually having fun, contrary to appearances. |
The rest of the weekend included splurging on a new tote bag at a ThirtyOne party, watching the finale of Downton Abbey, swimming at the J, and some nice alone time working on an IEP for school. No really, it was nice. I made myself some chai.
Happy Presidents Day!
