This week felt like it went by much faster than the last one, when Jason was away! I don't know why I get so excited at the fact that Friday is here, it's not like I go out to work each day or even that I get up early (like I do when school is in). But Friday does mean that Jason is home for the next 2 days, and life as we know it takes on an even more 'relaxing' pace for us all. Yeah, that's probably why I like Fridays. And of course once we do get back to school mornings, then I definitely like a Friday, because it means I can sleep past 6am the next day.
Connor (Kristen's friend from next door) had a sleep over here last night. It was his first one and they were both very excited about it. I've never really thought to ask if he'd like to stay over before. Sleepovers with boys is not something I want to encourage, but Connor is only 6 so I figured for another year or so it will probably be ok. They were still chatting and watching a movie when I headed to bed at 11pm! When I got up this morning at 8am both of them were already up and playing on the Xbox! One does have to assume that they both slept at some point in between those times :-)
On Wednesday evening Connor's Mom and Dad went out to pick up a new puppy at the shelter for him. This was a huge surprise to Connor so they didn't want to take him with them. He came over here for an hour or so instead, and to keep them occupied I let him and Kristen make their own pizza for dinner!
They're making 'Taco Pizza', a recipe I got from Taste of Home magazine one time. It's one of Kristen's favorites. You use pilsbury pizza dough, (bake it in the oven first for about 10 minutes) then spread refried beans on the bottom, top with taco meat and cheese then pop it back in the oven to finish cooking. Here's a similar recipe from their website.
It's my friend Cheryl's birthday today (Connor's mommy!) I knit her a lovely pair of bed socks (not something she'll need to use for a few months yet, but still) and on Monday I'm gonna treat her to 'ladies night' at The Melting Pot ( she's never been to the fondue place before) :-)
I'll add pictures to my 'knitting blog' later of the socks.... and I've also made a start on some 'quick knits for Christmas' that I'll be posting about.
Enjoy your Friday!

sounds like the young people had a lovely time. They're at that sweet age when it's not embarrassing spending time with a boy/girl. Another couple of years and it will be 'boys, urggh, they smell!'. I'm always teasing K about kissing the girls (something he does a lot of apparently) but he's 10 now.
Will have to make a point of visiting the knitting den over the weekend.
I know what you mean about 'That Friday Feeling', I'm in the same boat as you and yet I still get it too!
Time I was off. Have a lovely weekend xxx
Hi Denise I bet Kristen and Conner had a great time. I can't believe how little sleep they seem to need,I bet they slept well the following night.Hope you and Cheryl have a great night at The Melting Pot I know I did.It's my birthday soon so I think I'll just pop over there and go with you for mine (only kidding but wish I could).Big sis is coming up tomorrow so will spend some time this week with her, will be showing her all my pics and video of my fantastic stay in Texas.
Thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving your nice comments. We do have a lot in common. :) I am following your blog and will be checking back often.
