Project 365 ~ Week 42

What a beautiful, busy week this has been! 

We started our week volunteering for a local garage sale.  I mean... Do we know how to have fun, or what?  ha.  The girls did a teensy-weensy bit of shopping.  Nator made the comment, while paying for our items, "It's like we're paying you to volunteer."  Oh, dear.  Ha!

The girls have their dollhouse people act out their new poems.

Sometimes, school at home looks too good to be true.   :)

Poor baby girl's mouth was uncomfortable till her loose molar came out this week. I think the whole family was leaping for joy when it finally came out.  We almost had a trip to the dentist to help 'encourage' it out.

If you've ever heard the phrase... Can you scoot down just a little more?  Then, you know what Mama had to do this week.  There is nothing attractive about these gowns.  Ugh.

I was not happy to find out that I've gained 23 lbs over the past 4 years {although, I'm thinking I should have at least taken my denim jacket off for this weigh-in}, but my new doctor is now my best friend because she called me 'slender'.  ha...  

I asked the girls to set out the breakfast supplies.  They couldn't find our usual mixing bowls, so instead of downsizing to a smaller bowl, they pulled out this huge salad bowl.  Ha!!  Guess they were hungry?  :)  I know.  Probably one of those 'had to be there' moments.

Dance practices and dressing like friends.  Fun memories.

I had the opportunity to meet TWO bloggy friends this week!  It was so much fun.  If you ever have the opportunity to do this, I highly recommend it.   It only confirms that there are real people behind all of the pictures and stories.  {Sorry, we didn't coordinate our outfits like the lil' dancers.}

Linda is a bloggy friend I met through other bloggy friends.  I'm so glad I took the recommendation to visit her blog.  I was not disappointed.  She is witty, fun, beautiful, honest... and just plain down to earth, in blog-land, and in person.  We connected so easily, and I'm looking forward to visiting her again.  She lives within an hours drive of where I live!!  {I'm looking forward to that beach date, Linda.}

Sara hosts the weekly 365 each week.  I don't remember when... or how we became bloggy friends, but once she befriended me, it was easy to see she had a big heart.  She always leaves such heartfelt comments and is every bit as sweet and kind as you'd expect her to be reading her blog.  {You're right, Sara, 2 hours flew by!}

We also had the opportunity to meet her lovely daughter, Alyssa.  Sweet like her Mama, with so many wonderful opportunities ahead of her.  Can't wait to read more about her journey.

 

My Saturday started like this.  Hubs got out of bed before I did and had our littles deliver Mama breakfast in bed.  Sweet, yes?  I highly recommend starting your day like this. :)

It ended like this.  {Let me splain.  Ha!}  We spent the evening with great friends and instead of cooking, my friend and I picked up pizzas -to go- for our families.  Our friends highly recommended this place, which happens to house a large pub.  I snapped this pic to send to my hubs for a good laugh while waiting.  I warned my friend that I still blog... so you never know know what will get published.  ;)

Maybe we should have named this blog... Box of Chocolates.  You just never know what you're gonna get.  :)
