Project 365 - Week 28

Our week in review...

Sunday

We spent a great evening with friends.  As you can see, we're a serious bunch.

They are always such wonderful hosts... even to Jasmine.  {Note to self:  if you ever question the heat in the car, just leave the dog at home.}

I love that our kids are close in age.  Gracie's friend loves horses, too.  Said friend also takes riding lessons.  {No pressure, Mom.}  Nator can be found playing Wii, Legos, or Nerf guns with her friend. ;)

Our wonderful friends also had a cookie cake for DK's birthday.  So sweet and thoughtful of them!

What July 4th evening would be complete without fireworks?  {We had enough to carry, so I didn't worry with my tripod... or correct camera settings.}

Monday

Happy 40th Birthday to Hubs!!
I originally wanted to plan a 'party' for him, but his schedule almost makes it impossible.  So...

nothin' like a lil' Panera and shoe shoppin' on your birthday, eh?  I tried to talk him into Macaroni Grill, but no-go.  Guess I'll have to wait until my birthday again.  ;)

We did enjoy some chocolate cake at home, though!  Yummy!

Tuesday

Summer dance classes begin!  And catching up with friends that you haven't seen in 2 weeks 'forever'!

And just so we're clear.  That's me, trying to block the sun from the girls' eyes.  I was holding a really big purse.  Big.  Really big.  ;)

But first... Chiropractor, gym, thrift store, Gracie falls and gets a boo-boo in thrift store, Target, nurse boo-boo in first aid aisle at Target, and get a Smoothie King after shopping to help distract ease the pain.

Wednesday

 Science class!  Nator was so excited {even though class is full of 16 lil' boys}.

This experiment was especially funny.  Have you ever seen a 'hand boiler'?  The idea is to make the liquid on the bottom warm {from the palm of your hand} so that it will climb to the top level.  The science teacher said that she's never seen a child draw the liquid from the TOP to the bottom so quickly.  Cold hands!  Ha!  Warm heart? :)

As you can see, Gracie is interested in science too. ;)

Thursday

We've had our fair share of rain, and today was no exception.  The girls spent a large part of their day reading and acting out some of their favorite Disney storybooks.  Too cute.

We also colored together.  I really enjoy moments like this... a glimpse into their hearts, during sweet conversation.

And then I cooked lasagna.  One of our family favorites and SO simple.

Love days like this.

Friday

I spent a lot of time on the phone dealing with some curriculum issues, and then I dove into these books.  We may be starting our foreign language studies with Latin.  I know.  Am I in over my head?

Saturday

No picture today.  

Hubs and I caught up on cuddle/24 time, while the girls played and played... all. day.  There was never one disagreement between them.  It was... what heaven will be like.  Well, minus the mess.  But then again, I don't think He sees the mess.  ;)

Okay... I'm off to find out what everyone else has been up to!
