past few days

This past weekend was a good one. It was full of friends, family, and relaxation. On Friday I spent most of the day chilling out. I slept in and woke up to a gorgeous day. Andrew had his hammock hung up and it was so nice laying in it. That night we watched Mission Impossible 2. Starting on Thursday, we watched on each night and finished the trilogy Saturday night. The third one is definitely the best.
Saturday was an extremely busy day. I had to get up at 7 and leave for NOMAD. I didn't get back home until 12:15. Swim lessons filled up my morning. At 2:30 Emily, Kaela, and I had to leave for Emily C.'s play (The Elves and The Shoemaker). Her PFO group put on the play and it was quite funny. Below are a few pictures of Emily in costume.
She was the "Mama Elf" and all the children loved her. After her play a group of us went over to anthropologie to look for graduation dresses for the two emilys. They both found gorgeous dresses and we even got some kitchen mits/gloves for my mom. That evening we watched the third Mission Impossible.

Yesterday was Mother's Day. Words cannot express how much I love my mother. She has done so much for me and I love her to the moon and beyond! She's always there to listen and give advice and I wouldn't trade her for the word. Yesterday was very relaxing. All five of us kids woke up and made her breakfast in bed (belgian waffles). We went to church and when we came home, throughout the day everyone ended up taking a nap. For dinner we went to Azteca. It was a good day. The picture above was taken before we completely took down our swingset. It was just getting too old and dangerous to keep around. Rotten wood, splinters, and rust were taking over. I kind of miss that old swingset though.

Today has been a crazy day. Way different from how the weekend went. But I guess it is Monday and Monday's are usually crazy. I had to work from 8-12 this morning and when I went out to get in the car, it wouldn't start. I had to get someone to jump it. The downside was...it was raining during all of this. It took a little while to get the car to start but by the time it started, I was drenched. At least I got home. Once I got home I had about an hour before I had to take Kaela and Catherine to meet with friends. By the time I took them to where they needed to go, it was 2:15. So i took a much needed nap until 2:45 and then went to swimming. The rest of my evening will be full of AP GoPo studying for my exam tomorrow.
