Weekend report

I have missed two weekends with my weekend report, so just to inform all who are new or might have forgotten, this is the idea:

You know how the weekend just sometimes flies past you. One moment it's Friday, the next it's Sunday night and you have no recollection of what you did. So I decided that I need to DO things on weekends. I am going to try to:
1. Do something for my hubby
2. Something for each of the kids
3. Something for the puppies
4. Something for someone outside of my direct family that shares my home
5. Something for the house
6. And something for myself.
Sometimes these will overlap or combine, but it is just a conscious effort to make more of the weekend. Get out of the lazy rut of just sitting around and DO things.

So how did this weekend go?

1. Do something for my hubby & 2. Something for each of the kids:
The plan was to take the kids on Saturday afternoon and do something fun with them while giving daddy the chance to get into his studies or at least watch some rugby in peace. We have a very pretty local nursery and they love to visit it. The reality was a rainy and dreary afternoon and so I resorted to our big regional mall. Hunter thought I was crazy to take all 3. And they were so good! The little Miss got to choose some of her winter clothes herself and some stuff for The Boys and we had great french fries and a milkshake (juice for the babies). They were so well behaved I could not believe it and we all enjoyed doing some people watching (and as always with twins, being watched). I will definitely do this again. We also got The Boys their first colouring books.

3. Something for the puppies We bought them nice rawhide chews on Saturday afternoon and they loved it. Off course they had a nice walk every afternoon.
4. Something for someone outside of my direct family that shares my home I said to one of the young guys in the office this morning that by far the most important quality you seek in a life partner is a good heart - and that is exactly one of Hunter's best attributes. He suggested and organized that we treat my mom and two of her neighbours at the retirement village with a braai yesterday afternoon. He did almost everything ( I helped with the salads etc.), and apart from the little monkey refusing to take a nap at gran's, all went so well.
5. Something for the house
I packed and tidied a section of our bedroom.
6. And something for myself.
I went riding on Saturday and accomplished something I have been trying for years - I cantered a full circle without stirrups! I used my trainer's dressage trained horse and it was wonderful. I have a great sense of achievement!

So what did you do this weekend?
