Craft Group, Jewelry, Dinner and a Graduation

Here's another boring re-cap of the past week of our lives:



Wednesday night I was honored to take part in a fabulous craft group. Late night get-together, lots of yummy food, fun friends, great projects, Gorgeous Home... The whole experience made me realize two things: How important it is to have time for myself, away from my children, so I can recharge and enjoy quality time with my friends; and that I am SO GONNA REDECORATE my house. I walked into this friend's sister's home and my jaw dropped! I felt like I was walking through what I have always imagined my own home to look like! Thanks Ali!

Thursday night I taught a jewelry class here at my house. I had about 20 people from church come over and make bracelets and earrings. It was crazy busy! I know someone was taking pictures- I'll post them when I track them down. I had been stressed out for a couple weeks prior to this class because I had to submit an order for the supplies that was well over $500 and only half of the participants paid beforehand. I was seriously sweating, hoping everyone would show up! It was awesome though and I think everyone had a really good time.

Friday night, Chris' parents had invited us out to dinner in celebration of his graduation. We were told to meet them at their house at 7. Much to our surprise, they had set out a candlelit dinner for two out by the pool and served us our five course meal dressed as servers. It was such a memorable night! Thanks Don and Barbara!

Saturday morning, bright and early, I loaded the boys in the car and off we went on our merry way to Chris' graduation ceremony. Once I arrived and started to unload the car, I realized I had forgotten Ezra's clothes (he was in breakfast covered jammies), my mascara, and the snacks to keep the boys quiet. It was a nice, relaxed ceremony... for most... I spent maybe twenty minutes in my seat. The rest of the time was spent in the bathroom changing diapers, taking Kleven potty, pacing the halls, getting drinks of water... you get the idea. After bribing the boys with a $3 pack of Starbursts, we sat down just in time for Chris' name to be read, only to have Kleven yell at me really loud that he had "poops coming out!!!" I told him he had to hold it, I was not missing the photo opp! Chris crossed the stage, we darted out to the bathroom once again and then headed outside to meet him for photos. Which I'm sure turned out fabulously with my sweaty, no make-up, half asleep look, smeared in Starburst drool. Then it was out to lunch, and Chris took off for Prescott to rehearse the coming weekend's performance.
