M&M's, Softball, and Mothers Day

The last few days have been busy, but enjoyable! Friday we had some friends over for dinner, and then I enjoyed a relaxing evening with Mom and Dad, since everyone else was gone [baseball practice\babysitting]. We ended up cleaning up the garage for part of the time, but it was still fun.

Saturday I slept in, and then headed off to meet some friends for a bridal shower. It was great, seeing old friends, laughing, and eating all kinds of goodies! A day really can't go wrong when you get to eat puppy chow, carmel brownies, cheesecake, and peanut butter M&M's all in the same afternoon! Later that night we had some family friends over, and Mom made a delicious Mexican meal, similar to Chipotle! She even made homeade tortillas!

On Sunday it was sunny instead of raining and ended up being a beautiful day [minus the wind] to celebrate Mothers Day. I taught my last 2&3 year old sunday school class of the year, and it was a ton of fun! I love all the kids in my class, and hope to have most of them again next year. After church, we took mom on a picnic, and then explored the trails at a local park. The rest of the afternoon was relaxed, and I finished the day with a movie, and a bowl of Twix icecream!

Monday morning and today, we had our homeschool testing, but tomorrow will be our last day! Then I'm done with school, except for the math and other things I have to keep caught up on during the summer. I've also been doing alot of work in the backyard. Anna and Mom are both working on the garden, and I'm excited to see what they'll come up with. I just got back from a softball game tonight, and am finally starting to feel my toes again! It was freezing! Everyone was in blankets and winter coats. I guess thats Minnesota weather for you, huh?!
