Remember my bulletin board that I mentioned last week? It's down to just TWO pieces of paper on it....wheeee! I don't recall being quite this busy before, but WOW!
G had a Mother's Day breakfast on Monday, so he and I had a great time chomping on sweets and fruits. It might have been his only good time at daycare this week, as he was N-A-U-G-H-T-Y! He was not a nice little boy during the week...not to his friends, not to his teachers, not to his family, and not to his underwear! We were on a good potty-training streak for a while, but this past week was brutal. Ugh. I hope this coming week is a better one...
Ava had so much stuff going on...she had her field day at school (she still likes the stilts games the best) on Monday, baton practice on Tuesday, an ortho consultation on Wednesday (no braces needed at this time, but we'll go back in a year for a follow-up,) a local garage sale adventure on Thursday, a very long 5k with my Mom and me on Friday (it was closer to 5 miles for us,) and on Saturday, she had her end-of-year baton recital. Whew!
I didn't take any pics of the baton recital, but she and her crew looked adorable in their costumes. Plus, they also did a bonus number with the Junior Performance team. All of the acts were really cute to watch, and Ava seems to like it, so that's all that matters!
Ava will be heading out this afternoon to celebrate with a friend for her birthday (not an official birthday party), so it'll be good for her to jump some of her energy out (they're going to a trampoline park.) We also need to start planning for HER 10th birthday party, as it's coming up in less than a month!
When I wasn't shuttling the kids all around this week, I worked (normal hours, not excessive amounts of OT), and then decided to fall ill on Thursday...just in time to barely participate in my work's trivia event. I was so sick on Thursday night...but, it must have been just a 24-hour bug, as I was feeling 95% better the next day! I took a half day on Friday to run some errands and relax...I read on our deck for about an hour, enjoying the spring warmth. It was so nice to have some quiet time...key word being QUIET.
We did have a spontaneous pizza dinner with the neighbors on Friday night...the kids all love playing together, and we were hungry, so...it worked! We stayed out until about 9:30pm, and then everyone started to crash, including the adults. It was a great way to get some adult time, and also wear out the kids. Ha!
Scott was also super busy at work this week, and ended up working most of the day on Saturday (when he wasn't at the baton recital with me and G.) We did enjoy a nice dinner out last night as a family, but we were all exhausted by the time we came home. Ava was SO ready for bed at 8:30pm!
Hoping this coming week is a bit more relaxed and not quite as crazy!

Whew!
This was a pre-5k picture...Ava complained and whined during most of the walk, but managed to get some energy, right at the end, to sprint up to the finish line!

G was showing off another bow, and little Nora is in the background!
I managed to squeeze in a walk over lunch this week...and found this little guy!
I did get a little love from the kids this week, although Ava looks a bit terrified!
