Hello Tuesday! I had to take yesterday off of blogging, because I was exhausted! I was able to rest and relax some, but not as much as I wanted. We were busy!
Thursday night, Gretchen had her musical theater recital rehearsal. Thursday was crazy.
We left school early, and got her to the rehearsal on time. DJ's mom was in town, so she and DJ came and brought Adalyn. They left for Megan's gymnastics performance (which, I'll have to steal pictures from DJ and share those later!)....
They started with the finale first. Which, is a genius, because then, after your number, you can go home.
I knew that Saturday, recital day, would be crazy, so we took a few pictures Thursday night.
After her rehearsal, we met DJ & his mom for pizza in our little downtown.
The girls were given dough to play with, which is always so much fun!
Yum.
We strolled through downtown, and made it home close to 9. #whoops. #solate.
We gave DJ's mom her mothers day present, and then started to put the girls to bed.
Gretchen stayed up to study for a test, while I tucked the little girls in to bed.
And, that's when things went haywire.
DJ went out to the garage to grab a drink out of the garage fridge, and noticed water on the garage floor and leaking from our water heater closet in the garage. We had a water leak.
About 30 minutes later, he had shut the water off, and we were scrambling to pack, wake up the kids, and get to a hotel.
The 6 of us crammed in to a room, and we didn't get in to bed until around 11.
On the bright side, we enjoyed a continental breakfast at the hotel before heading to school Friday morning. (Thankfully, he was able to find a plumber and the leak was fixed, and water back on within a few hours.)
Friday afternoon, Adalyn's preschool performed the Three Piggy Opera.
Do you spot my little piggie?
It was seriously the cutest!
And, this is what happens when you tell her to smile big.
After school, we headed to look at campers again.
A few weeks ago, DJ decided we needed a family hobby and that it should be camping. Since then, we've been researching and exploring campers in our free time. We had an appointment Friday night at 5:30 with a salesman, and when we got there he was with a customer. After waiting 45 minutes, and still not being helped, we left. At this point in time, we're still debating, and thinking we should wait a few more months, or even next summer, rather than jumping in right now.
Once we made it home, these little girls had their own dance class.
We were up bright and early Saturday morning for Gretchen's recital. Her studio has two different shows, and we were selected for the early show. yay.
We actually arrived early! (I know, I can't believe it!) and I took advantage of taking a photo before the show, since the crowds are crazy afterwards!
Afterwards, her little sister was excited to give her flowers, but decided she would surprise her with them!
So, she hid them well behind her back.
G was so excited!
We attempted some pictures afterwards, but it was windy and sunny. And I was suddenly thankful we had taken pictures before the show.
Once again, these girls had their own little dance class.
And then they helped DJ with yard work.
On Mother's Day, I was able to sleep in, and woke up to a yummy breakfast.
We made it to church, and as always, had to take our John Wesley picture.
Gretchen made me a gorgeous pipe cleaner bracelet at church.
And then we spent a few hours outside. I read a book while the girls played.
I eventually made it to the gym, the grocery store, and home in time to meal prep before baths and bed time.
We squeezed a lot in to our weekend, and it was just so good to be home after all the traveling we had been doing!
