The Weekend Report

Friday at school ended pretty great... snuggling this sweet little girl! 

and I zipped RIGHT out BEFORE the buses so I could get to what will be the, LAST FOR ME, volleyball match. She plays on Tuesday but it's next to the "big city" so there's no chance I will get there in time... sad. 

What started as ME wanting a MONTH off between bball and track ended up being the BEST month EVER... watching this girl grow, have SO MUCH FUN with her friends, get supported by Husband and Minnie and improve at the game of volleyball was THE BEST! Time well spent for SURE!

Bonus, on Friday, we saw Miss S, aka Mrs. Chretien, their FAVORITE elementary teacher of ALL.TIME. She was there supporting one of the 7th grade teammates and was SO HAPPY to see her C Girls!

Last photo op was Miss B's 5th grade celebration....

and it's been about 4.5 years since I snagged a pic of them at Minnie's 5th grade celebration where she is PG with her OWN baby girl....

And now she's PG with a boy!!!! SO FUN!!!

Miss B KILLING the serves....

and lovin' every SECOND!

I love my happy girl!!!

Great job this season Miss B!!! Volleyball was fun!!! But...here comes TRACK!!! :)

Saturday, no photographic evidence... but I took 3 teenage girls shopping in the big city... and then Minnie DROVE HERSELF to TiTi's for Sky to do her nails... after church on Sunday I snuck out to get ready for Easter :) before hitting the grocery store. 

I texted this pic to Tamarah with the caption "We Back!!!"

 

and... I guess it's official... the summer track season is COMING... There was a zoom meeting to chat about changes coach's would like to see for the upcoming season...

and you know who can't miss ANYTHING...

but who am I KIDDING... we ALL wanted to listen in... peep Barks there? :) 

and yes... STILL with the twinkle lights... but come on..... she hasn't felt well :)

Sweet Miss B ~ Allergic Reaction

(I was given permission to blog about this... :)

Back HERE....Miss B was given an Rx to help with her toes....yep... she is back to looking like THIS (graphic warning) again (since the fall) 

The Rx was for 12 weeks taken ONCE a week... she got 2 weeks into her and after her shower after volleyball she came out looking like this... at that point we had NO IDEA what was going on....

but it got progressively worse from Wednesday-Sunday... and on Monday AM she woke up vomiting...

We were off to the pediatrician trying to figure out what was going on an her sweet Dr said... I am SO SORRY I prescribed this Rx....CLASSIC med allergy... and it's probably going to get worse before it gets better...

Thank GOODNESS other than not wanting to wear shorts to practice... and feeling a little nauseous Miss B is a TROOPER.... 

it def. got WORSE and seemed to move DOWN her body... which was a blessing that it didn't move up towards her face....

This was last Wednesday....so a week after symptoms started...

and this was yesterday at church... they are starting to dry...

and FINALLY looking better... the poor girl... but again.... she really is AMAZING....

NOTHING slows this girl down :) 

 

The Next Chapter

A QUICK few months... and Can I go back...just for a hot second??? Just for a minute? 

Minnie was TERRIFIED to say the LEAST but she was READY! I booked her with a driving instructor at 12:00 on Wednesday for a refresher , (which happened to be an early release, so leaving a couple minutes early was no biggie....) and her test was at 3:00. She told NOT ONE of her friends and asked that we do the same. 

Husband took 1/2 a day off because she wanted her Dad...*melt* and she asked Mimi if she could borrow her car for the test. I LOVE that she LOVES the Scooby! :) 

She came back after about 12 minutes and we could tell she was holding back the smile.... 

SHE PASSED!!! She is now a licensed errand runner and uber for her sister! Hooray! 

Oh my HEART... this went SO fast....

They left right before we did to return Mimi's car together and hang out with her before taking Husband's truck and meeting us for Miss B's step-up night at....THE HIGH SCHOOL.....Waaaaaaaaaaa

I don't know HOW MANY TIMES Minnie has heard me say how scared I am that my entire heart is in a scary vehicle... but I know she is cautious and alert and READY for this next chapter of "leaving"....

I do sorta hate that that's the goal though.... 

 

Randoms

Nursery on Sunday....she wasn't grouchy about this....

National Puppy Day...yes please. 

One of my fav visitors at school on Friday... crazy she drives herself...

and my FAV Friday Night Craziness.... happy girl! :)

FUN Friday

Watching Miss B play volleyball is just SO FUN! They have improved SO much as the season has gone on and it's just been SO much fun to watch! 

They won ALL FOUR matches on Wednesday and she scored SO many points!!!

Who knew middle school volleyball would be standing room only to watch!? So MUCH FUN!!!

So proud of her!!!

 

Weekend Away

It was BACK to Moosehead for Husband AND Minnie... she was SO sad to miss last year and was thrilled to be BACK!!!

Kicked off Thursday afternoon with a match for MC... pic sniped by one of her friends... she's on the left :) 

and we went home to play Jeopardy and eat Publick House! YUM!

Friday I was off from work and Do-Do sent this picture!

Miss B and I got ready and headed on an adventure!!! I had some errands to run and one of them included a drop off at Goodwill.. it dawned on me that she had never been to Reilly's bakery....Soooooo I parked in front of the theater... she was COMPLETELY confused until we turned to cross the street and she saw the big sign! WIN WIN for Miss B! Girl loves a bakery.... 

Bonus surprise....we walked in and there behind the counter was one of her very favorite teachers... 2nd grade Mrs. Randall... on the exact day... 6 years later (Friday, March 13, 2020) that schools closed and Mrs. Randall started zooming in our home.... I WISH I had snapped a picture when she came out behind the counter to give Miss B a hug and Miss B was taller than her!

stole this pic from Minnie's insta... LOVED it... 

and on Friday night Miss B and I watched CJ's SkillsUSA awards ceremony online... it was LOONNGGGGG....

but the fact that he WON def. helped!! :) Soooooo PROUD of him!!! Pic courtesy of Miss B because I was racing all around the house looking for the charger because my phone  was going to die!!

Happy I didn't miss these pics though!!

SO PROUD!

Speaking of proud! Minnie send me this!! Whoop whoop fish on!

Love them!!!

In cleaning up traps on Saturday afternoon Husband let Minnie snag this flag... at least she got ONE... :)

Miss B and I did lots of deep couch sitting on Saturday, (I did run to Walmart) and enjoyed our home (and dog)

On Sunday we had nursery... LUCKY us!!!

I wasn't mad about this...

and neither was Miss B :)

Husband and Minnie were home unpacking when Miss B and I got back from groceries! Hooray! I jumped into the kitchen to make food for our Irish potluck at work (Monday) and Miss B had been begging for yeasty rolls since I grabbed this butter a few weeks ago...

SO happy they were able to get back to northern Maine together again doing their favorite thing together with friends (and family). But SOOOOO HAPPY they are HOME!
