Weekend love

Adi and I walked around the little spring fair at the fairgrounds Saturday morning. We checked out all their booths and shared a Philly cheesesteak and it was so sweet to spend time together. She is really feeling the growing up anxiety, so one on one time is important.

One of our thermos caps got recalled and I had to laugh at having to take a picture showing the lid in the trash. 🤷‍♀️

I baked a cake for dinner and a pound cake for special Disney dinner on Sunday and laughed at our sweet lounging Henners. 

That evening Matt and I ran dinner to Henrichsons and got groceries and Adi and Delaney met up with us at the Porters for dinner. Matt and Nate told us all about their trip and it was fun to see their friendship and chat with Amber. She was just called as RSP and I could talk for hours about RS. 

She made lasagna and I brought better than shopping cake so the food was all really good and we are outside and all the kids, even the bigs played on their zip line and play structure and it was just a lovely evening.  

Last week Elizabeth Amorino texted Grace and I and shared that the ASL Branch was becoming a ward and she and Grace decided to go and then I was like, well I really want to go, so I got a sub for me as a sub for nursery and we rode up together. That is the coolest building and it was so good to see so many old friends. They had a group picture and a linger longer after and it was wonderful to catch up with Elizabeth and Grace. 

I came home and whipped up our Disney dinner. I went easy on myself and used frozen meatballs and premade pizza dought for the garlic dog bones. 

Maybe I was hungry from fasting, but it was a top notch dinner and the easiest (by far) to make. 

We watched Lady and the Tramp and the animation is so pretty and the story was cute and none of us really remembered it so it was a fun one.

I really liked the movie, but after a big dinner, the relaxing was too much for these Rays and the three of us missed the last 25 minutes of it. Adi was very proud of her picture with all of us facing the same way. It is pretty funny. 

To wake us up we took a family walk. I’m reading a book about longevity called Outlive and he talks about the importance of grip strength, which, since my dreaded painting injury and subsequent thumbs surgery, I have none. He talks about being able to hold onto a bar, so I wanted to see how long I could do. Adi won with 60 seconds, Matt and I did 30, and Frankie and Delaney dropped off right around 25. It’s harder than it looks. 

During scriptures I had to laugh at Matt and Delaney sitting the same. Also, it’s been chillier than normal, hence the blankets and thick socks. I’m not hating it. 

My morning started bright and early at 5 on the nose. I picked up Wawa coffee at 5:45 and came to the school to find Ms. Marschall had made everything look so much better! The weird off center placement of the table and the tablecloths were driving me a little crazy, so I was happy she did. We have an understanding. ❤️

She took some of our decor and set up a cute little area up front too. Not sure the purpose of it, but it’s cute. 

I delivered the coffee, then picked up 80 Boone’s Bagels at 6:30. Got that all delivered and tidied and realized I needed butter and bread knives. Adi and Frankie to the rescue delivering our knives on their way to school and I ran to food Lion for spreadable butter. Came back and conferenced with Ms. Sheehan and we decided we needed a few more bagels, so I ran back to Boone’s for another 2 dozen. I’ll make one more trip this afternoon to clean up the remnants, but it was a good and busy first day of teacher appreciation week.
