We were certainly not bored this week! I worked another million hours, but I feel like the end is in sight...my project will be launching this coming week, and I'm hoping to get back to a more normal schedule once that happens (knock on wood!)
G's spring conferences took place this Monday. Academically, he's doing fantastic - he's one smart little boy! He struggles with hopping on his left foot, but...we can work on that. Turns out that he's stubborn and when he's done working on a task, he is DONE. I admire that...he won't get pushed into doing something he doesn't want to. Reminds me of when I was four and at a swimming pool. My swim teachers tried to get me to go into the deep end, but I really didn't want to, so I didn't, no matter what they said. Stand your ground, little G!
Ava was also a busy bee this week...she had her baton class on Tuesday night, and then she had pictures for her class on Wednesday night. It was fun getting her all dressed up in her costume, with makeup. The girls looked so pretty! Her recital is in a few weeks, and then we have a very short break before the summer session starts up again. Whew!
Thursday night found all four of us at Ava's school, participating in their annual Art Night. This event is where ALL students have a piece of art featured...paintings and pictures are hung throughout the hallways, so you can take an alphabetical tour of the Red Pine in-house artists. Pretty fun! Plus, they have raffles for baskets that each of the classes put together, as well as a silent auction. We had fun choosing our favorite baskets for our raffle tickets, but it doesn't look we won this year. Oh well!
Yesterday, my mom and I headed to a different event...high tea at a mansion in Cottage Grove. I wasn't sure what to expect, but it was very pleasant. We had two different kinds of teas, scones, finger sandwiches, and then several different small desserts. We also splurged for some champagne, accompanied by a blackberry...and it was delightful! I've been so busy lately that the only time I've had a longer talk with my mom is when I'm frustrated with work, and am venting to her. So, this was a nice change of pace! The ladies at the table next to us asked if we were related, and when I said yes, they commented that we had the same smile. Who knew?! LOL
And because the trees are finally budding and the flowers are poking through, I have to end this post with a nod to the weird weather. I took a quick walk around my work last week, and while it was 83 degrees outside, there were still piles of (very dirty) snow. Huh. I hope by now that all of the snow is truly gone, but...you never know!

One of the girls had already left, but here are the remaining three!
Ava's painting was a hand turned into a tree house...interesting!
