A beautiful quiet day

I love long weekends. The munchkins ended up with an extra day off this week (yippee!). To start things off, we had wonderful friends over last night for dinner, excellent conversation, and swimming. The husband and I stayed up very late playing 'Monopoly' with our munchkins.

This morning, we all slept in. The husband put up our new garden gate/trellis thing. It goes over and across the garden gate - looks really pretty. Tinkles the cat came by for a visit, and the munchkins have been very busy with seasonal edible 'crafts'.

Now, as I sit here typing this, I'm watching birds at the feeder, the husband is having a nap here on the living room rug, and I can hear the munchkins laughing upstairs as they play and watch an old movie.

To continue the vegetative state....here are some fun video links.....

http://money.cnn.com/video/smallbusiness/2011/04/21/smb_hwgs_peeps.cnnmoney/ A history of the company that makes one of our family's all-time favorite sweets - Peeps. But....I think they are impossible to get outside of the States. If I have a friend going to/from the States, I always ask them to bring us Peeps!

I hope your day is filled with peace.
