I'm sitting here watching the Sister of the Traveling Pants 2, and chowing down mini eggs--cadbury's greatest creation.

Today was a great day! I started my maternity leave yesterday. There was something so great about knowing that I was able to come and go and not worry that I would miss a phone call or email that needed my immediate attention. Ava and I went and got Chris new pants, picked up carpet samples, and some more bark for the front yard landscaping project that I had started before the snow came.
Ammon showed up to do the finish work. Joye and Stacy also came over to basically make my life even more amazing. They are quite the team. They added 2 new shelves to my pantry, and I can't believe the difference it has made. They are the Divas of organization. They were here for a few hours, lots of laughs. Ava loved it! She fell asleep standing up--hahaha which is always an indicator of a fun day! Even though the day was full of "to dos" being done, it was so relaxing. I loved it!
Today, Chris headed out early to fix Mike's computer. Ava and I took an easy morning at first, and then headed outside for some fresh air and to blow off some energy. I pulled some of the bags of bark out of the back of the truck--what I could reach anyway, and began spreading it. OH SO AWESOME!!! I was only able to do like 8 of them. The last 2 were way too far back and I was too tired to climb into the bed of the truck to get them. Ava ran and ran and then ran some more. She LOVES to run. She then wanted to go for a truck ride. She loves the truck. We went to the carpet store--night.mare.--and then came home, because I was exhausted. She fell asleep on the way home--where we met up with Chris and headed down to SL for my brother's birthday bash at Mimis. We had yummy salads and swinging time and icecream cake and good times all around. Today was another fabulously busy,exhausting yet somehow relaxing--must be the copious amounts of cadbury mini eggs.
