My favorite part of the day is when the girls get off the school bus.
I love looking through their Friday Folder’s.
I love sitting down with the girls while enjoying a snack to talk about their day. Today we made popcorn!
PS: I got a hair cut this week! But I am a little sad because I can’t run! I pulled a back muscle a few weeks ago, and it is still giving me a little problem, so no running till it is all better!
Happy Weekend!
We went to the market on Saturday and purchased this:
I got another juice:
Here is my shopping list:
It helps me to have a menu plan and a list when I go shopping. Our week runs much smoother, when I have a plan!
I’ve had a ton of emotions these last two weeks. My life is changing and I’ve entered into a new season in my life. I have been thinking, remembering, crying, and laughing – and pondering. Pondering what’s next for me. Now what?
I went to school today to volunteer. From a distance, I watched Claudia stand in line, laughing and talking to another child. As they walked off, she turned to me, smiled, waved and walked away. Wow, what happened? Wasn’t she just a baby? Everyone always told me that it happens so fast. I think that in the moment, it seems long, but when that moment passes – it feels like it went by way to fast.
We celebrate our 10 year anniversary in two weeks, I turn 35 next month, I no longer have preschoolers at home. For the last 8 years, my main focus has been caring for my two wonderful girls. Now they are in school and are becoming so independent. Where has the time gone?
The house is very quiet, and I feel a little lost. I used to dream about the day they would both be in school, now I wish they were two again.
I have focused on trying to figure out what I am supposed to do with my life. Does anyone really figure that out? I’ve asked God, and have heard no answer. I believe that He wants me to be exactly who I am right now and be doing what I am doing right now. Supporting my family. So I will take pride in supporting my family, be fortunate for the opportunity, and cherish every minute of it! I must quite longing for the past, pondering the future, and embrace this new season in my life!
The girls had a great first day of school. I had several emotions running through me as Claudia got on the bus for the first time. It is very strange having both girls in school all day, but I think that I will get used to it fast!
We are cat sitting for Nanny while she as at the beach. This is Duke, and he is the best cat I have ever been around!
We have been spending some time working on this memorial garden at school:
We pulled lots of weeds:
Even the girls helped:
My new favorite snack is greek yogurt with some granola mixed in, it is so yummy!
My Dishwasher is broken and we have to get a new one! Good bye dishwasher, I already miss you! My hands are tired of doing your job!
So now my sink looks like this:
Because we have to replace the dishwasher and now the lawn mower too, we are foregoing our semi elaborate anniversary plans. Oh well, there is always next year!
PS: I have been spray painting again! I will have my project ready to post soon!
We went to open house on Thursday. The girls got to see their room and meet their teachers.
Claudia and Mrs. Britt (we already knew Mrs. Britt since Marley had her too):
Marley and Mrs. Prandy:
Spirit Wear:
Claudia wanted bangs to the side (like mom’s) and Marley wanted her hair short like Claudia’s.
After! The girls love their new haircuts. Claudia said she really likes her new bangs!
We had a very nice weekend. Friday night we went out to eat and then to Lifeway to pick up a Family Devotional book.
Saturday morning, Jason and I went for a 4.5 mile run. We had a nice run with good conversation. On the way to pick up the girls up from VBS, we saw these three deer:
We dropped the girls off and headed to the Buckarama (lots of hunting stuff):
We went to the Dekalb Farmers Market next. We have never been to the cafeteria area before and decided to check it out. Look what I found:
A fresh juice drink. Now that I know they have these, I will get one every time we go. Yummy!
Sunday morning, we went with Marley to the VBS Celebration. The girls had a good time this year! (Don’t you think they look alike in this picture?)
We went for a nice walk Sunday evening and we were lucky enough to watch three deer for several minutes.
