It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood...

If you like 94 degrees at lunch time! It's hot today! The Princess and I went to the park this morning after we dropped the kids off since I am sans baby today(she's home sick). We were only there for half an hour before she asked to leave because it was hot. So we came home and laid on my bed with the fan blowing on us and read books! A good morning.

SB got an award at assembly this morning so that was fun to see. I didn't know she was getting one, I just decided to go watch the assembly and was pleasantly surprised!

This weekend was lots of fun! We had an event at school Friday night along with the bookfair. I worked the bookfair while Mark took the kids around to do stuff. I love the little community of our school. I love knowing almost everyone and all the kids and who they belong to. One more reason I love our school. The size makes it easy to get to know lots of people.

Saturday was the District Pinewood Derby which was very cool. FE didn't place, but he got some cool stuff including a shirt with the names of all the kids who qualified for the race. He thought it was pretty neat to have his name on the back of a t-shirt. He got to race his car 8 times as well, so he loved it. Mark and I went out Saturday night to dinner and a movie and some shopping. One more reason my husband is awesome? I was really struggling to find something to wear for Sunday. Nothing in my closet seemed right. So, not only did Mark tell me to go buy something new because he wanted me to feel great, he went with me. He helped me look and ultimately he was the one who ended up finding what I bought. I couldn't decide on colors either, so he told me to buy both and see how I felt the next day! I ended up wearing them both at some point yesterday, but I just love that he's so concerned because I am. He wants me to be happy and comfortable and is willing to help me feel that way!

Yesterday was our church festival. My mom and my FIL were there as well as all the kiddos and the teenager's girlfriend. The kids all got ride wristbands and the teenager and his girlfriend took them on the rides while Karin and I (and the rest of out little band) were performing. We did pretty well over all I think. a couple of little goofs, but nothing major and we got ANOTHER request for a CD. I can't tell you how many people in the last two years we've been doing Generations have asked us if or when we are going to make a CD. It's surely a great feeling! Mass last night was exhausting because we'd been singing already for a couple of hours and in the heat on top of it. It really was all I could do to stand there and sing. I did sleep well last night though!

This morning I was in line at 6:30 to get my blood drawn. I need to have my thyroid levels checked and see if the medication is doing it's job or if we need a different dosage. Luckily the lab where I go is speedy and I was back home by 7. Mark had the kids all ready and fed by the time I got back so my morning was easy! This afternoon is cheer tryouts for SB and dance for The Princess and Mark is working late so just the kids and I for dinner which I actually need to cook now so it can be warmed up later when we get home.

Hope everyone has a great day!
