Hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. Our weekend was busy but fantastic! We had dance class, an art show, 2 ballets, 2 soccer games, a baseball practice, 2 birthday parties, a trip to the farmers market, a trip to Costco, a big clean of the house, a much needed mowing the lawn, and had a great big family dinner that we hosted and I cooked for.

Looking forward to:::

Bed time! I'm so tired and worn out. I truly feel like I'm burning the candle at both ends. I think that's just what life is like with 4 kids that all are in activities. I'm trying to enjoy everything though. I can sleep when my babies are grown.  

Looking around the house:::
Scottie has been cuddling one of the cats in the living room all morning while watching Paw Patrol.  Dakota doesn't want to come out of her kennel, probably because she's exhausted from barking all night long. Shawn's upstairs working. It's non stop calls from 10-2 today. I need a small break in calls so I can go make the bed though. It bothers me knowing my bed is a mess up there. I'm burning this Banana Bundt cake candle in the kitchen, where I'm sitting at the counter and it smells sooooo good!

From the camera:::
We went to see a local performance of Giselle this weekend. Sydney and Rylie begged to go, so we bought tickets for whole family. Rylie and Scottie got to see the helpers from their dance class performing so beautifully. The whole family loved it, surprisingly even Ben, who sat on the edge of his seat completely enthralled. 






What I'm wearing today:::
I'm wearing a new pair of jeggings, a mustard yellow blouse with billowy sleeves, and my roxy shoes

One of my simple pleasures:::
Going to the farmer's market. I just love it! All the pretty fresh produce, the smells from the food trucks and baked good sellers, the sounds of families and music playing from street performers, and all of the adorable dogs!         

Bible verse, Devotional, prayers::: 
Prayers to my cousin who lost his wife last night.

You've had quite a busy weekend! I am an empty-nester now and I can say I do not regret all the time spent with the kids when they were little.
Beautiful pictures of your girls.

Have a great week
