Friday morning routine went well and the kids arrived for school at exactly 7:30!
When I got back home this time, I went back to bed!
Lunch was such a nice meal - Amber had some seriously delicious leftovers in her fridge!
A good meal and a good book made for a good Friday!
I'm reading Sea Glass by Anita Shreve and it's keeping my attention!
I use every opportunity to sit and read for a few minutes - I do love a good book!
I left early enough for school pick up to be sitting right outside the doors when the school bell rung.
Here we are all!!!
Trystan had a little one on one time with her Daddy.
Kailey relaxing with her Chrome book watching a video.
I had my laptop on the table in the dining room and Logan asked to write a message for my blog.
Now here's a note from Logan......
Hello!! I would like to tell you about my day!
First, I had school. It was a pretty good day, after school Meemaw picked us up with a great big smile and we headed home! Then, when we got home I got on prodigy.( a game from school ) And then, I played some Fortinet with Trystan. After that we tried to play badminton but it was too windy! I did some shopping online and got my pjs on and now it is time for.... MOVIE NIGHT!!! I think of that like a sports announcer, and we are watching Moon Fall!
I love that Logan shops online.....which means she saves things to show her mommy.
Not sure how that works when she's buying a gift for her mommy!
That's what she was shopping for so I am supposing she goes through Daddy.
They are good at saving up their money and using their own funds to purchase gifts.
Mike is in charge of Friday night pizza dinner - and it takes several pizzas!!
I made pepper poppers!
Coke and popcorn at intermission!
This Friday Night routine of movie and popcorn and Cokes has been going on since Amber was 2 years old. It's a tradition that has continued for 34 years and still counting.
Saturday was relaxing - no early morning activities - everyone slept late and it was wonderful!
Easy going day!
Amber and I watched the rest of a Netflix drama - Anatomy of a Scandal.
This was so well done and interesting. I loved all the actors - they did a great job.
I loved the sets and the scenery and the fashions and the English accents!!
I went home late Saturday afternoon and look what was in my foyer!
Sherry was in town for a wedding and staying at our house.
She got these four baby chicks in Waco to replace the four of five babies she bought just a few weeks ago. Since she was heading to Dallas for a wedding, she just brought them with her! It was fun coming in the house and hearing those little cheep cheep cheeps!
I watered everything and the honeysuckle was blooming like crazy!!
Everything is growing and looking so good!
I planted a flat of coleus and I had forgotten how pretty it is!
Lettuce and herbs.....
Sunday morning I watched Fellowship Church online...... I love my church!
I did a little laundry, started the dishwasher, sacked up the trash, and cut a big basket of honeysuckle to take back to Amber.
It was midafternoon when I got back over to the Bells.
I had pulled up two big Ziplock bags of mint by the roots and planted a pot full for Amber.
I'll take the other one with me to the ranch when I go back on Tuesday and plant it there.
In a POT! Never again in the GROUND!
This is the arrangement I made with the honeysuckle for Amber's kitchen table.
I bought the green tea roses for $4.99 at Aldi's.
Amber bought these ballerina looking socks for me - three pair!
She wears them in her Pure Barre classes and they have those little dots on the bottom so you don't slide. I love them!!!
I'm glad I got over here when I did because it came a big rain with what Mike called 'Texas size drops!' I stepped out on the back porch and took this photo thinking it looks like a rain forest! They have a greenbelt for their back yard!
Mike prepared dinner tonight and it was so good.
Tortilla crusted tilapia, coconut basmati rice, garlic green beans and cantaloupe.
Look at this fancy dessert!
A 'Brookie' from Target......
it's a brownie/cookie that comes in its own little glass dish and cooks in the microwave!
A scoop of Blue Bell vanilla ice cream, the Brookie and a sprinkle of Sprinkles!
What a sweet way to end the weekend!
