weekend recap

1.


This brought me solace on my way home from my 3rd church meeting of the day. It was nice to drive down the hill and see the dramatic light falling from the sky. It will be good to end the day with a warm bath and a fresh start tomorrow.

2.
It was grandparents day during Bella and Tess' dance classes Saturday so my mom was able to go watch and even dance with them. I don't think she was planning on that, but enjoyed herself immensely. Adam's mom was unable to attend and was definitely miss by the girls.





3. Because of grandparents day I was able to go and watch as well. They usually don't let anyone in the classroom so the kids don't get embarrassed and stop dancing. I think it's a lame rule myself and now I'm thinking it's there so the parents don't think these classes are a waste of money. I don't recall Tess' class dancing that much. Here's a self portrait of Megan and I enjoying our time watching Bella, Tess, and my mom.



4. Our friends called us up Saturday evening to ask our kids to go to a movie with them. "All of them?" "Yes!" "Even Megan?" "Yes!" We were shocked by this offer, and decided just to roll with it and let them regret their offer later. Turns out they had a great time and so did Adam and I. It was a nice treat to get an unexpected dinner alone together.

5.

Megan did finally get to indulge in a cup of hot chocolate after asking and asking and asking me on friday afternoon. I'm not sure where her request came from, perhaps she hears me talking about it a lot or doing it, but whatever the case we both sat down and enjoyed one together.

It has certainly been a full busy weekend one that will be followed up by an even busier week. I'm really looking forward to it though, I'm so excited for Thanksgiving.

The photos of the girls dancing are so cute. That is great that your mom was able to come. I love the one of you and Megan watching. I need to do more self portraits I just always hate them!

I can't imagine a dinner in peace! I hope you two enjoyed it cause it's so rare, isn't it?

That's such a bummer that my mom had to miss grandparent's day at the dance studio and funny because she had dress rehearsals for her own recital! That picture of your mom dancing is so cute.

How delightful that you and Adam got to go out alone like that. I love surprises like that.

Sounds like a great weekend. I love the photos. The self portrait is so beautiful. And I bet bella will treasure having a picture of herself dancing with grandma.

I love the picture of your mom dancing/jumping! And the SP is beautiful. You always look like you in SP's, but a different you. It's awesome.
