3-day Weekends

I don't think I've mentioned on the blog my awesome new schedule at work. Shortly before Jackson was born, my company implemented a new "green" policy allowing employees to work more flexible hours. We have the option of working from home one a day a week, or working longer hours in the office with additional time off. I have elected to work 9 hour days - meaning I get every other Friday off.

So far, I have kept Jack home with me on my off days (as opposed to taking him to daycare). I expect I will do that most of the time; however, I also have the option of taking him to Holly's if I need a few hours to get some errands done, do a little cleaning, or just have some me time. It's a perfect arrangement.

This Friday, Jackson and I had a lovely day. It was 80 degrees and we had a play date arranged with my friend Mollie and her daughters. We spent the morning at the park with the girls. After lunch and a quick nap, we strolled downtown to run a few errands and enjoy the nice weather. Finally, we made a stop at the office to drop something off and visit my colleagues. Needless to say, Jackson was quite a hit! It was fun to introduce him to my work friends that hadn't met him yet.

The rest of the weekend has been uneventful, but enjoyable. We did a little shopping and picked up some summer outfits for Jack. And of course the usual house cleaning and laundry chores. And we have a new view from our master bed, courtesy of Drew:

My husband is officially addicted to HDTV. Just need a shelf for the cable box. The we can hide the cords and we'll be all set!

Saturday night we experienced the first tornado siren of the season. Fortunately, it never amounted to anything. They are predicting more of the same for tonight so I expect we'll just stay cozy in the basement this evening. Pretty typical for springtime in Kansas.

Ahh...gotta love a 3-day weekend!
