Rearranged

Well we've had some great stories to share this week. I'll start with last Thursday. I went to my nieces' choir concert. They are in kindergarten and 1st grade, and so it was really cute to watch them perform! You know how when little ones perform something there is always that one kid who misbehaves or just does something that gets people's attention? Well that happened to be my niece this time. She is in kindergarten and they were using hand cymbals (the ones with wooden handles) and as she was swinging it she beaned the kid next to her right in the eye. He proceeded to bawl the rest of the time. I felt bad for the boy, but apparently he was bawling before the whole concert, my niece just added to his misery. It was sad and hilarious at the same time.

On Friday I sat down and made about 13 more headbands for Hazel. I am definitely perfecting this talent, as I can see my headbands are looking nicer and nicer. My offer still stands for you all with little girls!

Later on Friday we had the chance to have dinner and spend some time with Justin's maternal grandparents. I haven't seen them since the wedding 4 years ago, and they have never met Levi or Hazel, just seen pictures. Well, it was love at first sight for all. His grandparents just ate up Hazel, and she was totally enthralled by them. Levi said his hellos and then ran off and played. They only saw him in flashes but did comment on how cute and sweet he was. Later on when he thought no one was watching he sang 'Twinkle Twinkle" for them, it was so cute! I am so glad that they have met almost all of their living great-grandparents, and I hope they meet them all. Four out of six isn't bad!

Saturday night I had a girls only dinner with family. It was so nice to sit and chat as ladies. It is always fun to have a night where we can get away for a bit. We think we will make it a tradition every night before mother's day to go out as women (and girls).

Sunday was mother's day and I was able to have a wonderful morning! After sleeping in, I woke up to Levi running in with a small pot of silk gerber daises (my favorite) and Hazel with a balloon clipped to her shirt. We then just laid there and hung out in bed for a bit. It was nice. I then went to breakfast with my mom. We then went and tied balloons to my sister's car at church for mother's day. Later on when I was getting ready for church I came out in my dress and Levi was standing there. He looked up at me and said "Mommy you are beautiful!" I told him thank you and that he was very sweet. He kept watching me and then said, "Mommy are you a princess?" It was so sweet, and the perfect mother's day present! After church Justin had to go to work, so I ate dinner with my family.

Monday we spent the evening with Justin's parents celebrating his mom's birthday. We brought her some potted plants and a new family photo. They were very grateful to receive both.

Yesterday we rearranged our family area. Justin has been dying to do so for some time now, but neither of us could think of a way that would work. Well I have a program that allows us to design houses and do a 3D walk though. So I took some measurements and recreated our apartment exactly. Justin and I agreed it was a little creepy how much it looked like our apartment. So we used that to try out several different arrangements until we found one that would work, and then we did the rearranging. I still having decided what I think, but Justin loves it!

Today I am trying to deal with a cold and do laundry... sounds like a blast! Hope you all are doing wonderful!
