Happy Friday everyone! Hope you all had a wonderful week. I had a pretty good one myself. Since Sunday, the weather here has been gorgeous this week-- high in the 80s, sunny, with a slight breeze. It has been magnificent. (Literally 5 minutes after I typed this it started raining with a popup shower... I checked the radar and there is no rain anywhere else in Ohio except for over our town. LOL)
Saturday, Rebecca and I went to the opening day of our local farmer's market. It was fun, even though it was sprinkling rain. I got some asparagus and some yummy baked goods. I also got my mom a succulent planter for Mother's Day.
Speaking of Mother's Day, mine wasn't bad. It started with the boys making me breakfast in bed and giving me some gifts, they made in school. Rebecca also gave me a miraculous medal necklace. We all attended mass together and the boys had fun after mass playing on the playground.
I will admit that I had some grumpy moments on Mother's Day when my husband wanted to go get fast food for lunch and then eat at a park even though it was chilly. He also had ordered me something for Mother's Day and it didn't show up until Monday so he was mad about that and it made me feel grumpy too.
In the afternoon, we headed out to my parent's house for a cookout. I didn't take any pictures except of my plate of food. LOL We just hung out and the kids played outside. It was a nice afternoon/evening.
On Monday, my Mother's Day present from Bill did arrive. He presented it to me Tuesday morning. It is gorgeous!
This week we have been busy with end of the year choir concerts. Jacob had his on Monday evening and he and his fellow 6th graders did a great job.
Last night, we had May Fiesta, which is the end of the year concert for the high school choirs. It was a wonderful show that started with solo and small group performances. Rebecca sang "Reflection" from the movie Mulan and it was beautiful.
All the music was related to movies. It was a wonderful show with the concert ending with combined choirs all dressed in formal wear. Her dad and I are so proud of her!
Work wise this week has gone well. The last 3 days the teachers have taken the kids outside to eat which has made our lunchroom job much easier and quieter. Today I filled in as head cook as my coworker took a 1/2 day off. Things were pretty easy to do.
This weekend I need to get some cleaning projects done. I also need to get the boys to work on some end of the year projects for school that are due. I also want to go to the farmer's market tomorrow morning. Sunday, we have my nephew's First Communion to attend. Hopefully it will be a good weekend. I am trying to focus on the positives and stay away from the news, etc. It's all I can do right now.
Have a great weekend everyone!
It sounds like the children gave you very nice gifts. I am glad it was a good day. I love the dress Rebecca wore when she sang. Were those sunflowers? And, she was lovely in her formal dress, too. That is some plate of food. I am starving waiting for dinner at almost 10 pm!
ReplyDeleteYes, those were sunflowers on her dress. She loves that dress and wears it often.
DeleteCongratulations to your children in their performances. It's such a busy time for families with school kids- well when isn't it!
ReplyDeleteYour Mother's Day gifts are lovely! I LOVE the gift from your husband!!!!! Rebecca's voice is beautiful! Please tell her I loved it! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteShe said thank you! :)
DeleteGlad you had a nice Mother's Day (I think we all have those grumpy moments every day, holiday or not). Such great gifts, beautiful one from your husband! And wow, what a talented family with all those concerts. I'm excited that it's farmer's market season again. Hope you've had a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteI was excited to get spinach and lettuce at the market this weekend. Love Farmer's Market Season.
