The elementary school held a “Family Literacy Night” last week and the girls had so much fun. This balloon guy was hysterical. They made bird feeders, protein balls, and smoothies, had face paint, balloon creations, and just lots of fun with friends. A few days later, they had their dance recital. It was adorable to Read More
This and That With Grace and Tess
Weekend Recap
Our weekend was fun. And busy. But more fun than busy. Friday was glorious…74 and sunny. As an added bonus, the kids got out of school at 1, so we could actually be out enjoying the weather!
