Washed, dried, & folded five loads of laundry.
Did one load of dishes (kids put away previous load).
Raked front yard & driveway with B while M vacuumed inside.
Stuffed leaves into pumpkin-shaped leaf bags (B is really into decorating for holidays).
Off to the grocery store soon.

Always Look On the Bright Side of Life
Current mental soundtrack: see title ^
Today I saw Spamalot with the family and some friends. It was a really fun show--the whole family enjoyed it. I picked it over Wicked because I thought the guys would enjoy this one more, and I think I was right. There were a lot of empty seats, though--I hope ticket sales pick up! After the show, we had a lovely dinner at Khan Toke Thai House. The kids remember this one as the place where you get to sit on the floor, but DH and I just like the food and the atmosphere. They do have cutouts under most of the tables so you don't actually have to sit cross-legged for long periods. B & M are now upstairs playing Rock Band with my sister.
It's been a nice, relaxing weekend so far. Yesterday was the first free day I've had in over a month, and I couldn't figure out what to do with myself! I finally settled on a little shopping with B (I desperately needed a new pair of black high-tops, as the holes in mine were getting pretty big), followed by some time cleaning up the back yard. I deadheaded the roses, weeded (found a three-foot high weed behind a container), and filled the green bin up with miscellaneous twigs and sticks that have been lying around for months.
Not too much planned for tomorrow. B has a playdate with a ballet buddy, I have someone coming over to rehearse a solo, then B and three of her friends are rehearsing at our house for next weekend's Orinda Idol auditions. They're going to sing "Amayzing Mayzie" from Seussical.

Weekends Aren't Long Enough
The kids have a four-day weekend: tomorrow is Veteran's Day, today is a staff development day. I'm currently waiting for them to get out of bed (yes, it's almost 10:00 am here), and wishing that I could have a four-day weekend, too. I have enough stuff to do to fill up a bunch of four-day weekends!
This weekend was taken up by a Sacred & Profane retreat (all day Saturday), a lab party (Saturday night), sleeping in on Sunday (woohoo!), and planting 30 daffodils on Sunday afternoon. Oh, and the ninth load of laundry for the weekend is in the washer right now. At least I get tomorrow off--maybe I can catch up on some of those projects!
