Last Weekend of May Report

 

Friday evening:

  • Made Borsch
  • Went to take prom pictures at a nearby college/garden
    • It was a little crazy. Too many people. But E was having a good time. 
    • I wasn't initially planning on going there - I just asked E to send me whatever photos he and his friends took. But then an acquaintance asked if I wanted to join her for the photo-taking, and it sounded like this was going to be a pretty big deal that should not be skipped.
    • It was a big deal. So, so many parents and fancy-dressed kids.
    • But it also wasn't. Because I am really not into taking photos. And I wanted to escape after about 15 minutes but couldn't.
    • E was at first apprehensive when I showed up, but then seemed to appreciate it (because almost all the other kids had their parents there... and I'd like to think I was less mortifying than some other parents snapping photos non-stop... but probably not). And he definitely warmed up to posing for pictures with his friends and his date.
Saturday:

  • Walk in the park with my husband
  • Food-shopping
  • Cleaning + laundry + random things around the house
  • Cooking
  • Went to visit kittens that C's friend is fostering
  • Friends came over for dinner: they brought the main dishes and we made the sides (including Borsch); we ended the evening sitting around the fire and chatting while kids were roasting marshmallows.
Sunday:
  • Yard work
  • Read with C (Pride and Prejudice - we are making good progress; C said that the book was exciting because it was focused on interactions between people and did not have elaborate descriptions of scenary)
  • Took C to classical music concert (her middle school orchestra teacher was performing)
  • Took C and H out to dinner, while husband and E went to track banquet. 

Happy June!!!
