It's been a stormy weekend, so we spent lots of time relaxing! We're lucky to be about an hour northwest of Boston, away from the coast, so we only got rain and some mild winds. Praying for everyone on the coast, lots of properties with damage and the storm still isn't over.
Alec had his usual gymnastics practice (roads here were fine so most things that are indoors continued on as usual). Saturday night we played a favorite game called Act your Age and it's so fun! One person takes a card with an age on it and everyone else asks them questions. The person has to answer pretending to be that age. Then everyone guesses and whoever is closest gets a point. Some of the questions are so funny because my 12 year old has no idea what it is...for example "have you ever used a dial-up modem!" We had to explain what some of these things were to him and he was baffled by some of them!
During the afternoon on Saturday I finished up a needlepoint tapestry that I've been working on since May! It's heading off to the finisher to be turned into a pillow that will become a Christmas gift.
Sunday morning I made a big batch of these oatmeal energy bites that are always a hit. They're really easy and delicious. Just mix the ingredients together, form into balls and pop in the fridge. I had read that Americans don't get nearly enough fiber and just a few of these little bites have tons of flaxseed, so I figure they're delicious and healthy. Groceries are also crazy expensive so I'm trying to be an 'ingredient mom', making more and more from scratch when I can find the time.
It's currently Sunday afternoon as I write this and I have to clean up my office, organize my purse and work bag (is there a better way to do this? I feel like every week I'm moving things from bag to bag) and then try to tidy the house and clean. While we do need the rain in my area, it sure is making for a lazy day! Hope you all had a good weekend!!
