Project 365 - Week 12

Sunday

It's that time again.  Another trip to the party store!  Nator originally picked a Tinkerbell theme, but after thinking about it, she wanted her male friends to feel comfortable too.  Isn't that sweet?

Monday

We were on the hunt for more High School Musical decor for cake decorations, but were only successful in getting distracted by cute $1 socks.  The girls may or may not have changed their minds 100 a few times before we made it to check-out.

My order from Nature's Hollow came in.  I'm happy because we can finally eat a few things made with xylitol.  

Tuesday

We are not redneck.  I repeat.  We are not redneck.  I took pictures of our backyard in disbelief of how much our weeds have taken over our yard since it's seen a lil' TLC.  Do you see the alligator's eyes?  {A floaty from last summer.  I repeat.  We are not redneck.}  The next day, our neighbor mowed our backyard.  We have the best neighbor.  Ever.

It was spring-break in most schools this week, but we only took Monday and Tuesday off.  No scouts.  No dance.  It was nice having a break in schedule.

Someone in the house is having 'issues', so I did my research to avoid a doctor's appointment.  {So far, so good.  Yay!}

Wednesday

I am on the phone with a good friend.  We usually talk for an hour.
"Mom, may I juice the oranges?"
"Wait till Mommy can help you."
"Okay."
Two minutes later, I look over my shoulder to find this picture.
After I discovered no sharp knives were used, it made me smile.  ;)

Toying with the idea of going back on my yeast cleanse diet, I've eaten this dish a lot lately.   Quinoa mixed with spinach, raw almonds and avocado.  I know.  Wipe your drool. ;)

Thursday

We had to see DK off today, but thankfully the weather was beautiful!  Flip-flops, water-guns, and hopscotch were great distractions.  Footloose and Fancy Free!

Friday

DK made it back home.  Short trip.  While he is working upstairs, the girls and I indulge in a few games of Go-Fish and Old Maid.  We spent the rest of the evening picking up birthday balloons and ordering a High School Musical cake.  {I was unsuccessful at finding the proper decor to make one myself.}

Saturday

I'm convinced that Nator's prayers helped postpone the pouring rain until everyone... arrived, ate cake, opened gifts, played {a lil'} in the park, and took a few silly pix.  It may or may not help to jump up and down while praying.  Just sayin'.  It worked for her.  She also jumped up and down when thanking God after it was over.

Then, the heavens opened up and it rained.  All. day.

After the party, we joined some friends for a long, yummy lunch at Pei Wei.  It was wonderful to catch up with them.  All of our kids may or may not have taken about 100 pictures with our iPhones.  I'll spare you.  You're welcome.

The rest of the day was a blur.  I think I stayed on the sofa until bedtime, watching episodes of NCIS with DK... enjoying the rain, indoors.

I find it great {already} to look back and see what we were up to!
