I've been working on this post for weeks. It's sad really how long it's sat in my undrafted and I haven't had the time to work on it. Life has been BUSY. Between work, school, gymnastics, soccer, theater and all the in between, blogging has fallen to the back burner, but I'm determined to get at least this post published.
It's been a long time coming.
We bought the girls bikes for Easter and Adalyn has been loving going on bike rides while I go on my walk or just riding her bike around the neigborhood!
DJ took Gabby to the groomer and she came home looking like a mutt. It was awful. I started calling her Boomer because she was so awful!
Soccer kept us busy this Spring. Adalyn had 2 games every weekend and only a few were close by. We spent a lot of time driving from game to game, but gosh, it's fun seeing her do something that she loves.
We also spent a weekend pulling weeds and planting flowers.
Adalyn got in on the work too! It took an entire weekend but we got everything done.
Adalyn came home from school one day and had "sold" her friends bracelets. So, we decided to start a little bracelet business. The girls and I have spent lots of evenings around the kitchen table making bracelets and it's been so much fun! We've even gotten some custom orders and we plan on keeping this up! They have a lot of things they want to do or buy and I thought this would be a good way for them to earn what they want to have.
I dropped off Megan at school one day, and took Gabby along. She was literally sitting on my shoulder on the way home.
DJ was off on a few Fridays so Adalyn convinced us to come have lunch with her at school. After lunch, he & I went on our own lunch date!
Gretchen performed in the Putnam County Spelling Bee, so one afternoon, DJ and I went to watch her play.
She's been in 3 school plays this year which have all kept her so busy!
After we spent one weekend working in the flower bed, DJ added mulch. It looks so much better than it did before! We tore out some plants, added new plants, pulled weeds, and planted some plants in flower pots.
I took the girls to see Are You There God, It's Me Margaret. It was so good!
Around the first of May, we tagged along with DJ's staff & students to Top Golf to celebrate the end of the year!
Just Adalyn and I were able to go, because the other girls had activities. I feel like it's rare that they're all 3 home at the same time!
Adalyn loves her Gabby.
And Megan loves stealing our phones and taking random selfies.
We all attended Megan's choir concert.
They sang Bohemian Raphsody and Party in the USA.
DJ and I had another lunch date.
And Adalyn had a school fun night one Friday evening.
She had a blast with her friends and DJ and I were ready for it to end- ha!
She had her face painted.
One Saturday, DJ and Adalyn went off to soccer and Megan and I went off to Target and then later met them at soccer. It was fun browsing Target with her.
Adalyn played goalie at her game. And then we all went to eat BBQ.
DJ went out of town for his work convention, and that Monday night, Gretchen and I cooked dinner together and I loved that she was home and spent the evening in the kitchen with me.
Reading, of course.
Then we made enchiladas and had the best time chatting.
I can't believe we only have a few more years with her at home.
Time sure does fly.
