I’m linking up with Gina again and embracing the ordinary today.
The past week was lovely, but nothing exciting (except for a little birthday excitement yesterday).
I made one of my favorite sandwiches from childhood for my girls to try.
That’s a pickle in there with the peanut butter, in case you can’t tell. They all thought it was okay, but the only one of them who actually liked it was my anti-sandwich girl:
We did lots of Valentine stuff in school this week.
Lass was having some trouble with her reading lessons, so I took her to have her eyes checked. It turns out she needs glasses.
She’s pretty excited about getting them and I can’t wait to see how she responds when she can actually see well.
The girls played in their future backyard for the first time.
We helped the Super Friends move a few things to their new house and then had a house-leaving party with pizza and Star Wars and Euchre. Super Friend and I smoked the husbands in cards, in case you were wondering. What a great way to spend Valentine’s Day.
Yesterday, we had a birthday party for my big girl, who is turning six on Wednesday.
What a grace-filled, ordinary week.
And here’s some fun news: Gina, who hosts this lovely link-up, isn’t going to be doing it during Lent. But she’s letting me take over until Easter! I’ll be doing my Embrace the Ordinary post every Saturday, starting this coming weekend, and the link thing will stay open for a week. Check out Gina’s post and link up this week here (it’s still open until Saturday!) and like her Facebook page here, as she’ll be the one sharing these posts during my Lenten Facebook break.
Now that is a sandwich I have never heard of…but seeing as I’m pregnant and wanting weird things, I think I’ll try it. 😉 What kind of pickle? Dill? Bread and butter?
And a new backyard/house! That looks really exciting. 🙂 I’m looking forward to you posts through Lent!
Just regular old dill pickles, sliced (not the pre-sliced ones, they’re too thin). You’ll have to let me know if you actually try it!
