A Random Little Mess.....

As I was scrolling through the pictures in today's post, and trying to think of a title, I could only come back to "A Random Little Mess"... I mean, it's just a look at life and what's been going on. Life is messy, it's not perfect, and that's just what this is. And, let me be honest with you. I love it! 

Last Friday we finished our 2nd day of school. We headed to the gym so I could run, picked up dinner, and then went to the football scrimmage. We ate dinner in the stands, and afterwards, the girls enjoyed playing and running bleachers with their friends. It was hot, they were sweaty, I was able to catch up with a few of the other wives... it was a little mess of a night. 

Saturday. Ugh, Saturday. I tried to catch up on some housework and we made it to the pool much later than I had anticipated. Gretchen was mad at Megan, Gretchen threatened to run away, and then she did. (Sort of.) So, we left the pool earlier than planned, and had a kiddo that was in trouble. Another little mess. 

Eventually, Gretchen apologized and learned a very valuable lesson, and then we went over to our neighbor's house for dinner. She and I are relying on each other a lot! the girls love her little boy, and both of our husband's have been working weekends, so we need a little break and a glass of wine. 

While we were there, the girls enjoyed dressing up as Batman. And y'all, this Lego Batman mask cracks me up. 

I mean. A little random mess. 

Sunday morning we had Bibles & Blessings at our church. Last year, Gretchen received her Bible, and this year, they decided to give all K-3 students a Bible, so it was Megan's turn! She went to "big church" with me (DJ had football), and then afterwards we celebrated with cupcakes. 

I don't know how many pictures I took, but this was the best I could get! 

Monday was Solar Eclipse day! Our school provided glasses for all of the students and it was so fun! I was able to catch Gretchen going from recess to lunch, so I took her outside for a little sneak peek! 

Seeing the look on her face was absolutely priceless. 

And, taking a selfie with complete black out glasses is next to impossible! 

During the peek time, I went to the front of the building and just layed there to take it all in. Our school nurse came out and took this photo of my lying there- ha! It was probably about that time that a bug flew at me, and I realized that laying down wasn't the best idea. 

And then she showed me the little eclipses that would show up in the shadow of our fingers. So fun. 

Megan learned about the solar eclipse too! Her teacher shared a collage of her classroom, so I zoomed in to snap this one of Megan! I love getting to see a sneak peek of their school days! 

So, that's my Random Little Mess for you today!

I'll be back on Friday and linking up for Friday Favorites!
