We had another busy week ending with a really fun weekend!
Sunday – I sat down and had a fun time playing with Jenny before bed Sunday night. I need to remember to do this much more often.
Monday – Jenny begged for sweets all morning long. Each time I answered her with a firm “no”. And then before I knew it, she hunted down and snatched a lollipop that was hidden in the diaper bag. As soon as our eyes locked, she began screaming and crying, she was so sure that I was going to take it from her. So, we compromised…I let her keep it in exchange for some cute pics!
Also on Monday – The kids found a caterpillar when they were playing outside. We made it a home in a plastic contained with holes punched in the top. It’s really sad how excited they were over this little caterpillar because it was the closest thing they’ve had to a pet! We let it back out into the wild before dinner.
Tuesday – We stopped by Sonic for a treat since they were having all day Happy Hour!
Friday – We finished up our school day early so we could join my husband at Williamsburg. He had been there leading a singles retreat for the Army. We had a fun time just walking around the beautiful town. I took these pictures playing around with the manual mode on my camera when we stopped for drinks at William & Mary.
This was my best shot at a group picture. I’m pretty pleased with half of my children actually looking at the camera.
Saturday – Our church had a 5k Run/2k Walk on Saturday. My husband ran in it and the kids and I cheered him on to the finish line.
I love that I was able to get a picture of him waving as he ran by at the start of the race.
He came in 3rd place in his age division and brought home a metal…yay!!
On Saturday afternoon the kids played outside. There’s a small grouping of trees in our backyard and the kids have started calling this area their “hang out”. They spent quite a while “hanging out” together there!
We grilled burgers for dinner and I cut up cantaloupe to go with them. I was looking forward to this treat. I turned my back on Jenny who was playing at the kitchen counter for a few minutes and then I heard her say, “I done!”. My grand plans for having fresh cantaloupe went down the drain when I discovered that she dumped a can of black pepper on it.
Week 16 Layouts
I was so excited to be reminded of Mari Koegelenberg’s contribution to the DigiFiles when I read The Daily Digi’s spotlight of her on their blog yesterday. I love her design style and it was just perfect for this week’s project life layouts.

Oh my! Too funny about the pepper your treat. I love that picture of your daughter in the tree hangout. It looks like a great place to hang (very peaceful).

I kept looking at the pepper picture, before I read what you wrote, thinking…why is she peppering her fruit? Is it good?! Kids are too funny!

Great week. I agree with you about spending time with your little one – before you know it they are grown.
Thanks for sharing.
