Weekend Plans

This weekend looks to be a busy one, full of family and friends and fun.

Tonight was Molly's final performance as Genie in Aladdin, Jr.  I didn't think it was possible for her to be better than she was Wednesday night, but she WAS!  So animated.  So energized.  This proud mama thinks her girl stole the show.

The best part of the night was that Molly had a fan section in the audience.  Dan's parents, Molly's friends, and, as a special surprise, my little sister and her boyfriend made the trek up from Belleville to see Molly perform.  We're very excited that Lindsey and Thomas are staying for the weekend.

Our plans:

• crepes for breakfast 
• a trip to Crate & Barrel for "Olivia Pope Wineglasses"
• a taco feast complete with guacamole and home made salsa
• a night of games
• lots of laughter

I love weekends like this, even though they mean I won't get my regular weekend chores done.  I love having a house full of people.  The buzz of conversation and the burst of laughter form the soundtrack of my weekend.

I can't think of a better way to spend it.
