Sunshine

I really, really need to start blogging again. I went back through some of my old posts and found memories and videos that I had completely forgotten about.  The boys are growing up so quickly. It's hard to believe Samson will be 4 tomorrow and Levi is 2.  Being a mom is exhausting, but I love every minute.

This year I went back to work two days a week teaching voice lessons in two local high schools. I loved it, but I am so glad to being at home full-time now that the school year has ended.  I love being with the boys EVERY day!

Yesterday was a beautiful Michigan day. We met a friend and her son at the Lakeshore Museum and then headed over to the splashpad.  The splashpad wasn't open yet. My boys were heartbroken.  We ate our picnic lunch.  Then we walked a block to an outdoor stage and listened to a concert that was going on.  The boys enjoyed ice cream sandwiches and fudgesicles.

Afterwards, we stopped at The Sweet Spot.  It's a coffee shop and bakery run by the Culinary Institute of Michigan.   We had Chocolate Torte and some chocolates.  It was so delicious and only $4.00 for everything because its all made by the culinary students.  They also have a restaurant next door.  The menu sounded amazing.  Pedro and I will have to check it out on a date night soon.  (I ended up running back over to the bakery after Pedro got home to pick up a "golden chiffon cake with green tea and ginger buttercream" and a few more chocolates for all of us.  It was amazing!)

After we were done stuffing our faces, we headed across the street to the Frauenthal Theater for a flower and garden show.  There were such beautiful arrangements.  The boys and I voted on our favorite arrangement for the chance to win a large selection of perennials.  I hope we win. Our front yard could use some flowers.

Finally, it was time to head home.  It was a full day and everybody was pooped.  Especially this pregnant mama!

We are headed back to the splashpad this afternoon for the official opening.  They are going to have beach balls and popsicles.  The boys are so excited!

It's going to be a busy weekend.  I have to get ready for Sammy's Super Mario birthday party on Saturday.  Then, my sister is in town from NC for her bridal shower on Sunday.  I can't wait to spend the weekend with my family!!
