Hello and happy Friday!
How as your week? We had a good one even though it’s been a busy start to summer.
I’m linking up with Erika and Andrea for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Last Friday was the last day of school, and we went to our neighbors/friends’ house to grill out and catch up. One set of neighbors moved a couple of years ago, so we don’t see them often. Also, all of these kids go to different schools, so it’s nice when we all get together.
The moms really wanted the kids to recreate this pic from 2020…

I’m not sure why we do this to ourselves. haha
They are all so grown!

The moms got a pic too.

We spent all of Saturday at the middle school state track meet in Louisville. It was an overcast day, but pretty good running weather.
Hadley ran in three relays and had a PR in the 400. Hayden ran in the 1600 and 800. He was frustrated with is performance, but of course, we were proud of his effort.

On Monday, we went to the pool for a bit. One of my friends brought Racko which is a fun game. It was nice to feel like we were in “summer mode.”

On Tuesday, we went out to dinner with my brother’s family for Layla’s birthday. This girl loves unicorns and rainbows like no other. We can’t believe she’s 6!

I’ve been able to spend a couple of mornings on the back patio which is one of my favorite ways to start a summer morning.

I love going to graduation. Listen, there are some days I walk the hall shaking my head at some of the things I hear or see…haha
That being said, it is always so amazing to me to see over 500 seniors come together all dressed up to cross the stage and receive their diploma. It reminds me that the future it bright.
Another amazing thing — graduation only lasts an hour…even with a few speeches, a couple of musical performances and that many graduates.

I loved my graduation “fit.” Avara is one of my favorite online shops to buy dresses. They had the “Marissa” dress in pink, blue, and navy, but it looks like navy is all that’s in stock. I picked up these wedges on sale at Old Navy. They seem pretty comfy.

No pics but this week, the kids have already been busy. Hayden and friends played a round of golf on Tuesday, and he also went my school’s basketball camp. Hadley has been to the pool and UK volleyball camp.
While both kids were busy yesterday, I spent a couple of hours at the pool. It was my first pool reading time of the season.

Favorite Mom Meme:
They see me fold laundry, put dishes in the dishwasher, and put away Cheezit boxes…haha

Weekly Recap:
Here are my posts from the week:
What are your weekend plans? Well, today is the first day of summer that I don’t have to set an alarm. Then, we actually don’t have too much going on. We really do need to do a few early summer things like clean out backpacks, go through clothes to make a donate pile and run some errands I’ve been putting off.
The weather looks to already be in the 90’s! ugh.
I hope you are able to stay cool this weekend.


I love that graduation ‘fit dress! I would like a shirt dress like that and I am thinking without buttons might be best. I have never shopped from Avara, but all of their stuff looks so cute. I think I want to actually go in some stores this weekend and just see what is out there. I am pretty sure I have not been in a clothing store since late March or early April other than my consignment stores.
You have had a busy first week! I am not excited about 90s but I think it is getting down to more typical June weather next week.
Happy Weekend!

Yay for no alarm and some easier days coming up! Also, reading by the pool is such a luxury. I always take my book, but I never read, because I like to be in the water. I hope you enjoy your weekend, my friend!

Over 500 seniors? Holy cow! I’m not sure we have that many students in any of our local area high schools and definitely not in 1 class.
That recreated photo is fabulous! It’s hot here today too but storms are supposed to roll through tonight and temps will drop by 40 degrees by tomorrow so I’m trying to enjoy the heat and sun while they last.
