Mother Daughter Tea

I was pretty disappointed to find out that the Mother Daughter Tea would not be held in May for Mother's Day this year. I was even more disappointed when I found out that the night it was to be held was the night of our District Battle of the Books competition, an event I had been in charge of coordinating. So imagine my delight when early in the afternoon of Thursday, April 3 all after-school activities were cancelled due to inclement weather!  As soon as school was out, I dashed around, putting together an outfit that would fit the theme, then I scooped up my daughter and headed to the church. We had a great time!

2014 Memory Jar #14

-written by Nathan

A busy day.  In the morning, we walked to Bon Center to take our books back to the mobile library.  Afterwards, MNG felt like stopping at Stir for some pie and coffee.  We called ATM and LGM, and they walked to Stir to join us.  We hung around for awhile, the little ones playing with the toys and coloring.

ATM was thinking of buying an electric-acoustic guitar at the pawn shop, so he and I went to look at it.  I had errands to run, and Adam felt like going along.  We made a few stops, took care of errands, and had the usual ongoing talk about band camp.

In the evening we took the little ones to the church for the Legacy fundraiser babysitting night.  MNG and I went to English Dockside for dinner for the first time in years.  After that, we used our child-free time for a romantic trip to Kohls to use my Christmas gift card.  I bought some much-needed new jeans.

When we got back to the church to get the little ones, JLG was enjoying a Veggie Tales video on the projection screen and jumping on the couches with other kuddies.  Of course, he didn't want to go home.  Lisa Allison, who was there with Clay to pick up her own kuddies, commented that we should have brought sleeping bags and beer, and we could just camp out and be at church already when Sunday morning came around!

Mother Daughter Tea 2013

This year the Mother Daughter Tea at Beth-El was especially special for me.  It was the first time I could attend with my own daughter!  So we went all out with new dresses (sort-of) and fancy hats!  Like always, it was a terrific evening with family and friends... and my very own sweet Juliana!
