I really like doing crafts and activities with kids, it’s the prep work I don’t like. I was asked to get a couple of activities ready for this weekend’s retreat for the children receiving first communion on Sunday. I am so glad there are only 37 kids and not 137 kids…prep work is SO tedious.
We did a lot of things on Mother’s Day, one of which was to go to the Nike Employee Store. We got a pass from a family friend we know who works there and let’s just say that Sean was like a kid in a candy store with all of the running gear (and everything else) priced at 50% off retail.
We also planted our garden on Mother’s Day, but I don’t have any pictures of that because it was POURING down rain. Did I mention that it was also hailing about ten minutes before we headed out? Also, a lesson I learned that day…it is incredibly hard to plant carrot seeds when it’s raining. Those seeds are teeny teeny tiny and they stick to little wet hands.
There is a new Vietnamese place not too far from our house. Sean went by and picked up a menu and it looked like it might be worth checking out. At the end of the meal, they gave us some bamboo cuttings to take home. I love the bamboo; I did not like the restaurant.
I had been told by several people that this was a great little place to go have a great hamburger and Sean had hear about it from some people at work, so we decided to go and give it a try. They were right. It’s a neat little joint out in the country that takes cash only and does have some might tasty hamburgers.
