the weekend update

what a week i've just finished! it was the last week of school - which on the surface sounds infinitely exciting - but really means lots of mixed emotions, dirty cleaning, and stress. needless to say, i was glad when it ended on friday. so thanks to everyone who put up with my craziness this week.

the highlights of the last days were tuesday's field day & wednesday's graduation. those have to be the perfect activities to end the year. field day had perfect weather and lots of fun; graduation was high stress, but churned out a performance that made me proud (although, anyone else probably not so much. but come on! they're singing in FRENCH)

that's some intense hula hoop jumping

having a good spin

i like this one because of mr. curls lurking in the background
taking a picture of someone taking a picture is fun for all ages
sing, friends, sing!

happily, i got to get out of the house the rest of the weekend. friday night i agreed to eat dinner at john's, but they took too long, so i ditched them & went to hang out with chris, fenner, & holly (i need to come up with some sort of nickname for this group of friends: chrifenly? fenlyis? holisner? you be the judge). it was just for a bit, but it was fun & relaxing. afterwards, i went back to johns, ate some tater tots, & promptly fell asleep.

saturday, we went down to beaver creek & that was also most glorious ~ beautiful weather, cool water, yummy mixed drinks, and plentiful snacks. we did trespass a little & get admonished - but the lady was pretty ambiguous in her instructions, so we stayed put. that evening was a protein dream with 5 lbs of steak for dinner and today involved reading a lot of harry potter & seeing indiana jones (and, seriously? are they all that unbelievable! you can't emerge from a refrigerator that was tossed miles from an atomic blast unscathed!! you just CAN'T!)

the jesus can; walking on water
floating
skippin' rocks
sliding through the crack
sunning
havin' a good time

which leads us to the present: where i have made grilled chicken bruschetta and am now gracing your eyeballs with my words of wisdom & intrigue.
