What a lovely day today has been.  I had Norah and Camille overnight last night so Jill and Ben could have a break and a dinner together. We had planned to do some crafts but by the time we got through dinner, it was too late to get started or we wouldn’t have time to watch a movie (the priority these days).  We snuggled in and watched “Hotel Transylvania 3” - one that I didn’t expect to enjoy as much as I did.  We settled in for bed and all slept until 8:00 this morning.

The plan for today was to return the outfits that I gave the girls for Christmas (didn’t fit) and to choose a replacement.  They ended up getting pictures for their bedroom at Hobby Lobby and a gift card for Charlotte.  I took them home and then we all (except Charlotte who needed some quiet time after several nights of sleepovers with friends) went to the Carver County Off-Leash Dog Park.  What a beautiful area near Victoria, MN, just west of Chanhassen.  Joey had a blast and ran steadily for almost 40 minutes.  

Back at their house, we played a game of Blokus, one of the games the girls got for Christmas.

I’m now settled into my living room, Joey is crashed, and I’m loving every minute of it.
