I’m still very much coming down from the high of the Listen To Your Mother Show last night. Here’s my week:
May 5
Bedtime is a little nuts at our house…..we have a routine, but it’s kind of a chaotic one.
May 6
I finished the #Bostonstrong10K for Charity Miles on Monday morning. It took me quite a while, but I was excited to be able to run 5 of the 6.2 miles (and I’m super excited to get the t-shirt).
May 7
Teacher Appreciation Day, and the kids each had a little gift for their teachers. Since Ivy’s didn’t have a “theme”, I just asked her to write “Love, Ivy” on the card. She went on, on her own, to write “Thank you for teecheen me.” Heart: melted.
May 8
Essie obviously can’t read yet, but the girls got out the recorded Christmas book from their grandparents, and have been listening to it a lot.
May 9
I went with my sweet first grader to Legoland—Kansas City on Thursday. It was so much fun to see him in his element.
May 10
Essie drew her first family portraits this week.
I had an afternoon of pampering on Friday, both to get myself ready for the show, and to treat myself for Mother’s Day.
May 11
Listen To Your Mother: an absolutely mind-boggling, surreal, incredible, exhausting, exhilarating experience. This was in the dressing room about an hour before the show, with the lovely Lisa of Back to Allen.
What an exciting culmination to a great week. Can't wait to hear more about your LTYM experience!
Love this recap! That Lego pic rocks…my 7 y.o. would be in heaven. Happy Mother's Day, Greta. You inspire me in so many ways.
Awwww, my beautiful LTYM girls. Loved sharing the stage with you. Cheers to strong brave women!! *hugs*
Looks like such a wonderful week! Congratulations on LTYM – it sounds like an amazing experience! Happy Mother's Day! 🙂
Your kids are seriously cute. "Teecheen?"
SO cute. And those dimples!
And the towel wrapped around Essie like she's going to the spa, while she "reads" her book.
That looks like a pretty fantastic week.
Looks like a pretty good week. Hope that high lasts and lasts! 😀
