sunday to sunday...

last week i did a sunday to sunday post ... i kinda like the idea of it... a little recap of the week so that i remember the little things... 

on sunday i was thankful for little, helping hands in the kitchen... her idea to help me dry and put away the dishes...

we all enjoyed having monday off from school... it was a lazy day at home, hanging out... worked upstairs a little more... tackled another pile of fabric...

tuesday was a snow day... the girls and i were so happy to have another day off together... we worked on valentine projects {you can read about those here if you missed it}... and i made some washi tape clothespins... 

and then... there was wednesday... ugh! 2 hour delay + 2 girls having to be at 2 different schools at 2 different times + myself missing 2 out of three classes and having to email 2 professors = me being 2 frazzled to take many pics during that day...


thursday was good... john and i had breakfast at panera and then grocery shopped... we were out of e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g... felt good to come home... clean the fridge and get everything put away... one thing i'd like to be better with is meal preparation... it's so hard though... any tips? pointers? recipe ideas? please share, if you do...

later that night i continued turning this...
into this...
can't wait to share what it will be when it's done...

after my classes on friday,  i met a friend at panera for lunch {obviously i couldn't get enough of that place this week... ha!}... then i spent a little time at the tj maxx... and then headed to joanns to pick up some things that i needed {and a few other items that weren't on the list somehow found their way into my cart}...
{can't wait to turn these fabrics into something cute... my mind is kinda swimming with ideas... i'm really looking forward to sewing more... i had so much fun when i was making the children's clothing... and i think i'd like to start doing that again... we'll see...}

saturday is another picture-less day... it was spent doing things around the house until later in the evening... john and i had a date night... we met friends that we haven't seen in forever at V2 {downtown}... can't believe i've never been there... it's a really nice place... fun atmosphere... for my local friends reading this... if you haven't been there... you should try it... the calamari is delish!

and... back to sunday... the girls have been wanting to do something nice for our neighbors that live on either side of us... they really are great people... they help with snow blowing, leaf removal in the fall, always bring us fresh produce in the summer and are always very good to our family... i love that the girls wanted to do something kind for them...

we decided to bake some chocolate chip cookies...
maizie and marina took turns adding the ingredients... {you have to keep everything even stephen around here :)}... and when they were finished... maizie stamped brown lunch bags with the word "cookies"... and i made some tags that said "for you"... we wrapped the packages up with a little bakers twine and went and made the deliveries... 
the neighbors were so thankful and the girls were smiling from ear to ear... a little kindness goes a long way...

tonight my heart is full...

have a happy day~
