Making Memories

Due to the holiday last week I again did not make any formal lesson plans for "school". Instead I decided to make it a week dedicated to making memories. My husband had 5 days off in a row so it was a fantastic way to take advantage of that quality time and just enjoy each other.

Sunday
Everyone, and I mean  everyone (Juliet, Haddie, Mark, Maddison, my husband Peter and myself) got up and had breakfast together. This hardly ever happens anymore but it was a very special morning. We were releasing our very first butterfly.

Monday
Memorial Day we had a cook out. My mom, my nephew Ryan, my Grandpa's sister Jewel and Maddison's fiance, Michael came. It was good times!

Tuesday
We went out to eat for breakfast. We used to go to Waffle House every Wednesday morning before dance class but in an effort to pinch our pennies for a while we cut back to once a month so we (the girls and I) could enjoy it with Peter.
We are regulars now and we love the friendly helpful staff!

Wednesday
It's time for Music Together! We have been doing music class for about 2 years now. Haddie loved it when she was a baby and now she and Juliet enjoy it together. We've made friends who have come out to playgroup playdates and we just have a lot of fun! Especially when Daddy comes.
Here's a link to their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Music-Together-of-Hampton-Roads/105716507237.
They have a 6 week summer session starting in July or you could just drop in for a demo!


Thursday
We were brave and we went to the beach. Little Island Park to be exact. We met our friends there for a couple hours and had a good time hanging out.
It was Juliet's first time at the beach and Haddie apparently did not remember ever going because she was scared of the waves this time.

Friday
 The fantastic 4 (Juliet, Haddie, Peter and I) enjoyed a wonderful dinner together at our favorite Mexican Restaurant, El Loro.

Saturday
This was a very good day. Why? We had went through part 1 of becoming members of our church, New Life Providence. In doing so we put the girls through a big test... being without either one of us for several hours.
They bonded in a way I can't explain. The rest of the day they were stuck to each other like glue.
