The past few days (plus meal plan)

I'm starting out the week pretty tired.  It has been a busy but wonderful few days, with lots of events and end-of-year celebrations!

Last Thursday was Field Day at C's preschool.

 

N got to come along and participate in all the games, and she was super excited-- very good-natured about having to play with a bunch of preschoolers!  We had a blast, as you can tell by the pictures.

L was at Grandma's that day... I'll need to do a separate blog post about all of our time with Grandma last week and the previous weekend, I think!  Lots of fun times there!

Friday we met Grandma to pick up L and then drove straight to the girls' Bridging Ceremony for Girl Scouts.  They recited the Girl Scout Law and the Promise and the Pledge, were given their badges for the year, cheered on their friends who were bridging and flying up, sang songs, had some snacks, and then ran around in the grass with all their friends afterwards.  What more could you ask on a beautiful Friday afternoon?

Saturday it was pageant dress rehearsal for these angels

 

and then straight to the gym where we had a picnic lunch and then L had gymnastics.  Then it was home for a quiet afternoon while Daddy was with his youth group on a field trip.

Sunday morning was the pageant, and they did a wonderful job!

Afterwards we treated the girls to hot dogs at Hot Dog Annie's!  (I ate mine in the car with J while she slept off the busy morning!)

 

Home again!  M mowed the lawn and I did some food prep for the week while the girls played happily, indoors and out!

Then it was off to my Sunday evening singing gig and home after the girls were in bed.

Whew!  It was nice to stay at home today and just do school.  We all had a good time resting.

Here's our meal plan for the week!  It's a bit more detailed than usual-- I found when I did last week's clean eating group that it really helped me to have a plan for snacks as well as meals.  This helped keep me from the mindless snacking and overeating that I mentioned back in my goals post.  We'll see how it goes this week!
