Monday, April 12 - It was a day of nails and fun one-on-one time with ladies that I love. This afternoon, Regina Campbell came over to get her nails done before going on vacation to Florida. I think they turned out really cute! Then, unexpectedly, mom came over this evening and I was able to do her nails too. I really do enjoy the uninterrupted talk time that doing nails provides for me. :)
Tuesday, April 13 - We have some really big parties coming up. Both BJ and Amie turn 40 this month. Jenni is throwing BJ a surprise pool party at her neighbor's house and I am making "mud cake" cupcakes so I am using this topper and picture as inspiration. I also made this invitation for Amie's murder mystery party coming up, thrown by Alex and me. It will be a busy but fun month!
Wednesday, April 14 - Ricki has been asking to have her friend Savvy over for so long, we finally made it happen! Savvy is the daughter of one of my friends from high school, Amber Paulos (now Stilson). It was fun to catch up with Amber when she came to pick up Savvy and Ricki loved every minute she was here!
Thursday, April 15 - Happy birthday to Kendra (turning 13) and Grandma Howard. We started the day on a sad note, Grandma Howard passed away this morning at 8:00 am. We are sad that she is gone but we are happy for her that she is out of pain and that she is with Grandpa again. 💗 We went on with our day even though this momentous event happened this morning. Kendra asked if she could get checked out of school and since she is such a great kid and student, I agreed. We went and got a drink and went to visit mom, Jenni, and her family during BJ's lunch. Then, after Simon got his second vaccine, he stopped and got us lunch and we met him at home to eat Chili's for lunch. I think it is super neat that Grandma died on her birthday! However, I told Kendra I was sorry that she died on Kendra's birthday. She had the perfect response! She said, "I'm not sorry. Now I will always think of Grandma on birthday every year." She's such a great girl! I can't believe she is already 13!
Friday, April 16 - Cute Meg texted Marisa and I and asked if we could come over and help her go through her office room and re-organize it. Of course, that is right up mine and Marisa's alley! :) She was embarrassed but it wasn't bad! We warned her that you have to make a mess before you clean it all up and put it away organized. This is just day 1. Look forward to seeing the "after" pictures.
Saturday, April 17 - Poor Nick, I'm being such a MOM. I just think it is smart to let drivers around you know that the driver is just learning. Maybe they would be a little more patient and kind...I know I would be. So I ordered these magnets to put on Nick's car when we go out driving. I thought he might throw a little fit but he actually agreed that it was a good idea. Phew! I'm still not used to this teaching him to drive thing!
Sunday, April 18 - We hadn't celebrated Nick and Kendra's birthdays with the Howard's yet so we did this Sunday. We would have done it at my house but Simon just put seed down in our backyard so he didn't want everyone out back. Mom agreed to let us have the party there. It was so nice to celebrate the kids and just be together. And of course, they got spoiled! We also caught wind that Kenny and Katie are making plans to move to Florida. :( We need to cherish all of these fun Sundays that we have together!
