This was a crazy busy week for me. We had our Fine Arts Luau and the end of the week and getting ready for hit took all my spare time. Today, I feel like a truck hit me and have had a hard time doing much.....except, of course, going to lunch with my bf and buying a new cute pair of shoes!! You are never too tired to do that! ha!
This week I will be preparing to go to Texas to watch my daughter graduate from college...magna cum laud....I am so very proud of her!!
Here is my week:
Sunday
Arkansas has really been hit hard this spring. Last night we had a huge storm with flash flooding. So many homes were flooded. You can see that the water came with in 5 inches of flooding the church foyer.
I marked the two NEW waterfalls we have at the back of our lot...gushing water...crazy!!!
But the good news today is that I finally saw our family of geese!!! This is their 5th year to come to our church pond that I know of. I love watching them!!
Monday
still raining and seriously COLD today!
I refused to turn on my heat in MAY, so lit a fire....I did cave later in the day and turned the heat on!!
Tuesday
Took this from my car. This is the AR river and you can't really tell but the water is extremely high! I tried to get the boat slip with boats still attached to it floating in the river, but missed it as I drove by. The flooding has done major damage in our area. Even the interstate from here to Memphis has been closed due to water!!
Wednesday
Got a new hair cut today.
Why does a new hair cut make you feel so good?
However, you will never see it this straight again....I have not mastered the use of a flat iron, plus I just don't have the patience! :)
Thursday
Got to visit with my friend, Lori, today. I forgot to take a picture so I took one of your house as I drove away! Lori and I live in the same area, but met originally by blogging. I thought she lived in a town about 15 minutes from here, but found out this week that she is practically in my back yard!!!!
Friday
We had a big Luau at the school tonight to celebrate the Fine Arts.
Dinner, art show/auction, drama entertainment and carnival...all ending with a band concert.
Jared is a teaching assistant and directed the beginning band!
So proud of him!
I love our Head of School, he is a super guy.
And I thought it was very cool that he let the kids face paint his head!!!
Friday
Happy to have Jason home....even if it is just for the weekend!!
That's my week! Actually there was a whole lot more to it, but couldn't get all the pictures in....it would be a book! ha!

I'm with Bug...too many pictures never stopped me before. I like your hair! But I am the same way with straightening...not very good at it and no patience.
Wow! yay for Alyssa AND Jared. So much to be proud of!
I love Steve's smile in all your pictures. You can tell he is humoring the "crazy lady with the camera and the blog" but he does it so lovingly and consistently (at least that's what it looks like :)

We've had a few of those close calls when it came to the rain this year at our preschool. Then someone came out and cleaned out the parking lot drain and it's been soo much better.
The photo of the family of geese is sweet!
Love the geese pic. How fun to watch the babies grow. Hope your flooding goes down soon. Have a great week
