Not a busy week for me, so I thought this would be a great time to start a new segment of my blog that recaps my week.  Most of this past week was dedicated to our children since Friday was their last day of school. The kids could not be more excited, as for my husband and I…not so much.  As I’ve stated before, I have two kids still at home, a 17 year old – who is officially a senior and an 11 year old is is officially a 6th grader. The kids have busy, fun summers ahead of them and I’m expecting great things to be learned and experienced by them both.  On Tuesday, Jada (our 11 year old) was not happy to have to get two cavities filled.  She did well even when she had to get the shot to deaden the area, I was so proud of her.  I think she held all her tears until she got in the car – and she sobbed all the way home.  She promised to brush her teeth twice a day for the rest of her life.  Wednesday, Jada graduated from 5th grade – no more elementary school.  The ceremony was very nice and it was great to see Jada being honored for her achievements.  We celebrated by taking Jada to her favorite place to eat…IHop for pancakes (at 8pm).

Saturday my family and I spent the day with my older sister to celebrating her birthday.  We ate at Pappy’s Barbecue in St. Louis.  I had never been before, however it is very tasty and pretty cool atmosphere (down home southern style) – well worth the fifty minute drive from my home.

As I stated, not a busy week,  but it was fun to be around family and friends.
