Saturday (Puppy Picture Overload)

On Saturday Miss B left bright and early to head to a Revolution Game at Gillette... yikes... I don't care for when my girls are so far from me on our Life360 but she was SOOOO EXCITED! 

AND SOMEHOW... (read: offered???) to watch their puppy for the day... um.... paid $40 for Miss B's ticket... gave her $60 for food at Gillette (which she didn't end up using) and I ended up with a PUPPY?? #suckah

Meet.... Finnegan!

Husband and I had to run out as soon as they dropped him off to get bloodwork (how old ARE we that we go to get fasting bloodwork together??) so we took Barks and popped Finnegan in Barkley's crate... at which point he started crying and crying and woke up Minnie. Whoopsie! :)

Minnie was "in charge" for about 30 minutes and he had the zoomies the ENTIRE time, jumped OFF the back of my couch/console table, and chewed the end of a massage roller. Yikes!

But THESE TWO became FAST friends! They were non-stop and had SO much fun together!

Husband took Barks to do errands and this guy PASSED OUT... nothing like a tired puppy!


When he woke up we went outside to enjoy the sunshine... I had him on the leash because after jumping off the table I was worried he would get under the railing so I had a hand on him....


When Barks got home they were RIGHT back at it... peep the "gate" to try and stop him from going upstairs... and poor Discus who was hiding the whole day! :)

Husband and I went outside to do some yardwork (Minnie had gone to watch LAX with her friends and work out after) and they just played the WHOLE TIME... it was GREAT!







When Minnie got home she got all the puppy snuggles!

and clearly was not grumpy about it....

In fact, I think all of us were pretty happy with puppies, sunshine and Minnie with her package of cookies... hahahaha


When we got inside Finn did not stand a CHANCE with Husband snuggles... eyes half mast...

Eyes closed....

Snoring.

After Minnie and I showered we ran him home and you could tell he was SOOOO happy to see his own crate and toys! He went right in his crate and Alicia said he was STILL SO TIRED on Sunday! 
(so was I!!!!)

AND so was Miss B! They had GREAT seats.... played soccer, went for a run, barely ate anything (rah) and didn't get home until about 9:30....

End of the Week

Started cleaning out my garden beds.... whoop whoop... and I unburied my treasured painted rocks... and added a new on from my tiny buddy Easton who comes to show me his math journal almost everyday to get a sticker from me :)


Photobomber....

Homemade pizza for the win on a Thursday night... YUM!

and... Sky made the most AMAZING sourdough with fresh milled flour so I experimented with insulin ratios but decided... after a couple of mornings that looked that this... prob not gonna be worth it unless it's a special occasion and I have a FULL cartridge of insulin ;) hee hee!

and this girl got busy in the kitchen on Friday night making soft pretzel bites....I whipped up the dough for her while she was at practice so it could rise and she took it from there... they came out AMAZING!

Made a quick cheese sauce to dip them in and she called it dinner!

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 :)
