Saturday morning was a marathon. We didn’t even have time to eat breakfast. By the time the kids were ready for the day, we had to drive straight to Lydia’s harp recital. She did a great job playing “Goodbye to Winter,” but I forgot to get a picture or video. Sorry, Lydia!! You did really great.
Then we drove to Harmon’s to pick up Mary’s cake, utensils, and juice for her party. I was really stressed out because I always seem to get dates and times wrong. I was terrified the staff at Color Me Mine would have forgotten about the party, and on the way there I basically told the kids we were never having any more parties. Abe reminded me to calm down. When we got there, thank goodness everything was right on track. The staff was SO helpful and wonderful, and everyone had such a great time.
Then we came home and took turns collapsing. Abe napped while I watched the kids play outside in the glorious weather, and then when he woke up I collapsed on the couch. The kids set up on a blanket on the lawn and played with Mary’s presents with the neighbor kids. After we were somewhat rested, we cleaned everything up and piled in the car to go to see our neighbor perform at the Lantern Fest. On the way, I called Ethline to see if we were running late, and thank goodness I did! The festival had been postponed because of wind.
So we ended up just driving through Chick Fil-A and going to Trader Joe’s instead. Then we came home, cleaned everyone and everything, and watched The Good Wife until the wee hours of the morning.
