Does this happen to you? Sometimes we have NOTHING fun planned for a weekend or two and then EVERY. SINGLE. THING. is scheduled over the course of just three short days?
Thursday night was the calm before the crazy! I made an Heirloom Tomato and Feta (and a little extra) tart for dinner on Thursday night. Mark doesn't like tomatoes but loves Heirloom tomatoes!!
I had a hair appointment on Friday morning at 9:00 and you might remember I mentioned she has moved 40 minutes south of us . . .basically, to a small town nestled by lots of land.
This photo was taken through the car window as I was driving (shhh! don't tell!)
I worked on my project in the afternoon until time to go to dinner with our neighbors. We had a specialty pizza -- Conecuh Sausage and Alabama Peaches -- so divine. The restaurant was crowded and they didn't have enough staff and we still had to drive downtown, park, and walk because we were going to see
Black Jacket Symphony
as they performed Jimmy Buffet
There were beach balls - lots of regular sized and one
GINORMOUS one that were bounced all over
the place. We had tons of fun BUT we got home later
than our normal bedtime and then had to get up early the next morning.
We headed south to our daughter's house because this middle granddaughter was celebrating
her 5th birthday!
We let her open her gift from Aunt Susie and Uncle Bob and the one from us
while we were still at her house.
Her favorite color is purple sparkly and Gran and Pops gave her a purple sparkly lunchbox and backpack from Pottery Barn.
We got to hang out with our youngest granddaughter, too, and she had changed so much in just three weeks!! She is so much more content than she was.
The party was at the home of the other grandparents and they have a pool!
Our son and granddaughter #1 drove down for the day.
This baby is so cute! He is the youngest child of one of Laura's closest friends.
This was a “Surf’s Up” party so these were for the cake!
The other Grandpa was floating as the “lifeguard” … in the flamingo float!!
Granddaughter #1 loved jumping into the pool!!
Mark and our son, Glenn, were sitting outside.
One of the lunchroom ladies made this cake. It was so pretty!!
We sang happy birthday!
There were so many cute kids.
We then drove back to town, changed clothes, grabbed our stuff, and headed out again to help host a couple’s shower for our sweet relative.
Everything was just perfect!
We fell into our bed …exhausted. . . And the alarm went off at 5:00 am because I had to be at work at 7:00.
I came home after work and Sunday School and worked on my project. MLA citations are a killer to me so I was looking back at examples.
Today was the beginning of our VBS - 500 kids between 4 years old and 8 years old; 100 youth helpers; 200 adults . . .Wow! I was a greeter welcoming folks to Trinity and VBS! What a great theme -- Super Heroes!
That happens to us often: no plans then EVERYTHING! We don't have any for this weekend but I can see stuff materializing quickly. Looks like a great weekend and that JB cover concert looks awesome.
