On Tuesday, the kids went to school for a normal day, and I had to go to inservice. I got done early, so I got to go and enjoy one last lunch with my Tuesday lunch crew. I love Tuesdays. I have been invited to eat with the most wonderful group of ladies. Most are retired teachers, many are in my teacher's sorority, some were teachers when I was in high school, and all are now what I consider blessings in my life. It all happened by chance one week when I ran into Sara at McAllisters, and she invited me to eat with them. I enjoyed the fellowship so much, and they kept inviting, so I kept going! It's become a tradition. One that I treasure.
After lunch, I did some shopping, knowing that once the kids were out of school, alone time would be a thing of the past! But I did manage to make it home in time to go get the girls from school- a luxury us working Moms don't get often!
On Wednesday, I took the girls to school and went home to enjoy coffee on the back porch! Isn't that what you are supposed to do when you are a "stay at home mom"?? ha! I always dream of taking my kids to school in my pajamas and then coming home to enjoy coffee in the peace and quiet- so that's exactly what I did. But unfortunately it was short lived since I had to be at the school at like 10 for Brenna's awards assembly. So I showered (because read above about my dream of taking them to school in my pajamas), and headed back to Peaster for the 2nd time.
It was totally worth it to get to see my sweet girl get an award for A/B honor roll (she only got ONE B the entire year!) And she got the award for perfect attendance. We worked really hard for that one! I love the look of pride on her face.
After that I went home, worked around the house, and went BACK up for Macie's awards since I thought she was getting one. Come to find out they only had her stand up for a second to recognize her for perfect attendance since she already got her medal at graduation. SO- I went back home to work around the house a little more before picking them both up at 3. Yep- I made 4 trips to the school that day. I was WORN OUT!
On Thursday, Brenna had her big talent show that she had been practicing for. I think Josh and I were more nervous than her! Heck- I know we were. I thought Josh was going to throw up! Nina, Aunt Kim, Kyson, and Memaw were all there to support our little star! I even went and got Macie from her class so that she could watch! When her time came up, our angel walked up, and belted out "Tomorrow" from Annie like she OWNED it!! I had tears streaming. It was amazing. Everyone was blown away at her voice. It filled my heart to overflowing! I wish I could get the video to upload on here. I will keep trying.
After I left, I went and had lunch with Sara and enjoyed yet one more "grown up lunch" since my house keeper was cleaning my house. (rough life- I know) We had a great time, as always. And I managed to get a few errands done before I picked the girlies up from school. I could totally get used to this stay at home mom gig! If only it paid better.
Friday was the last day of school. And as much as I enjoyed my ME time, I was so ready to get our summer started! So were these girls!
And just to keep it real.... the majority of the pictures I took looked exactly like this....

| Oh Macie Claire!! |
The look on Brenna's face says it all. I feel the same way baby...the same way......
I went and tanned after I dropped the kids off, and then went home and got them and we rested while we watched Beauty and the Beast. It was a great afternoon!
That night Josh and I kicked off the summer with a Ranger's game! Aunt Kim was gracious enough to keep the kids for us and we got to go enjoy some adult time!
Summer 2016--- HERE WE COME!!!!
