Busy Week Ahead

We have a busy week this week - I absolutely love seeing my calendar with things written on it!

It's Spring Break so tomorrow Brenna has a play date with one of her basketball buddies. BTW, Brenna is going to do basketball again in September and I am soooo happy about that! Her Mom is Brenna's coach and she is also a friend of mine, as well as my Mom's. We worked together when I was a pre-school teacher three years ago and her daughter was in my class. Natalie, the little girl, is a year older than Brenna and they get along so great. I think I am going to talk to her Mom and see if we can have a scheduled play date once a week. Natalie goes to school at the private school I used to work at and she is in day care after school from 3pm till about 4 or 5. I'm going to see if we can pick her up once a week from school so that Brenna and her can play. Anything to get them kids out of day care! LOL :)
Wednesday I will be going over to my sister-in-law, Lisa's, house to "lady-sit" while they go to the livestock show and they have graciously invited Brenna to go with them. I know that she will LOVE it!
Thursday Brenna and I will be going to the Children's Museum with my friend Mieree and her kids. Right now they have the theme of 'Grossology' there, which is all about your body (germs, mucus....disgusting stuff like that. You get the point). Sounds pretty cool to me! Brenna is really looking forward to it.
Friday we have a picnic to go to with the homeschool group. We have not done much with them for a couple months. The last few times they have gotten together we were either out of town, sick or had a dentist appointment. So we are looking forward to seeing everyone.
Saturday it's off to the livestock with us! Yea! I love, love, love the livestock show! In High School I was in FFA and raised pigs and a steer and we literally lived there all week. Seriously, my parents took the trailer and we lived there. LOL I have such great memories of that. It was so much fun! When Brenna gets a little older I would love for her to be in 4-H. It's kinda the same thing as FFA but FFA is through the high school and 4-H is through the city.

Anyways, hopefully I will have lots of pictures to post at the end of the week. I still need to get some up of our garden! My plants are growing rapidly and I can't wait to have fresh veggies. I have already used some of my basil for spaghetti sauce. I tell ya, it was pretty darn cool going out and picking some basil and coming inside and adding it to my food! Made it taste good too!! This week I will be making my apricot chicken and that uses fresh thyme so I told Brenna that I will "send her out to the garden to fetch some herbs". She looked at me like I was a nut and then laughed. LOL I'm always keeping that little girl on her toes. :)

Well, till fingers and keyboard meet again..... hope you all have a great week!!
