I read quite a bit, played a board game with the boys, took a trip to a nearby town to have lunch with a friend and let the little one play in the park. We also looked at cat trees for our kitties while in town. After we got back to our town, we headed to another park to meet up with some friends so the kids could play and we could visit about a school related thing and then just chit chat. It’s always so nice to hang out with friends. We headed home after the park then I read more. See, lazy day.

She loves the franchise and had not yet seen the latest movie. She suffered through her cat allergy and watched the movie. Sadly, she wasn’t sure if she was emotional because of the movie or the allergies. LOL! As I had watched the movie during the extended school break, I knew I was going to cry. And boy did I cry!
