This is gonna be a long post!
This last week started out with Miss Megan turning 10 on Tuesday....yes, double digits! She has grown into such an amazing person...inside and out. I know I just posted this photo recently, but it's one of my favorites. To celebrate Megan's birthday, we took her to dinner at Applebee's and they sang Happy Birthday do her...she was thrilled and a little embarassed.
On Wednesday night we had dinner at our friends' house....Michelle and her kiddos, John and Samantha, are great friends to us and we always have a good time together! They have been such an amazing support to my kids and I over the last year - I honestly have no idea what we would have done without them!
Thursday night was taco night at Aunt Katy's and then Friday evening was spent with Michelle, John and Samantha at the Hruska's house (Rudy, Doris, Jasmine and Jesse)....I just couldn't ask for a better bunch of friends!
And then there was Saturday... Saturday morning I rushed from store to store gathering snacks and drinks for Megan's birthday pool party! We had 22 kids and at least 10 adults at the pool on Saturday afternoon....and it was a fantastic party! It was 90 degrees, the pool was nice and cool and the kids had a great time! Despite the inevitable exhaustion after spending the afternoon at the pool, the Hruskas joined us at Michelle's house for an evening barbeque. I put my kids in bed at 10:00 and I'm pretty sure they were asleep by 10:01!
Today we went to church and then the spent the afternoon at the pool - it was fun, but I am pooped! In fact, I am so tired that I think I will wait to post pictures from all of these happenings tomorrow!
This week will be spent preparing for the first day of school next week - Megan is going to visit my hairdresser and we still have to buy school supplies! I'm actually looking forward to the routine and early bedtimes that come with the school year schedule!
