Friday Favorites {#207}

Hello and happy Friday!

Fridays in May just hit different. I feel like we’re crawling to the finish line of the school year!

As always, I’m linking up with Andrea and Erika for this week’s Friday Favorites.

Here are some favorites from the week:

The 8th grade dance!

Y’all, I know. I know. I’ve shared lots of dance photos this year, but those were the four cotillion dances. Friday night’s 8th grade dance is the only school dance of the year.

Friday night, Hadley & Co. were ready to mingle with their classmates. The theme was “Vegas” hence the “little black dress” attire. Of course, kids could wear whatever they wanted, but these girls leaned in to black dresses.

I still had store credit, so Hadley got another cute dress from Hello Molly.

They danced the night away, got Chick-fil-A on the way home, and had a great time.

Meanwhile…

Travis and I were with Hayden at a track meet in Louisville. Hayden ran in the “Dream Mile” which is a race with the top 16 middle school milers in the state.

It was a beautiful evening to watch him run.

He has gotten to know most of these guys over the past couple of years from cross country and track. It’s neat to see them chat beforehand, run together, and support each other, while exhausted, at the end of the race.

It was a fast race and the pace was pushed; Hayden had a 4 second PR…4:48 mile.

Mother’s Day was great! After a busy Friday night and Saturday, Sunday was a bit more low-key. I appreciated the gifts, the family time, and then sunshine!

I’m loving my new candles for spring. I think Summer Rose Bud is my favorite.

Favorite Mom Meme:

This has been an issue for quite some time. haha

Bonus Fave: Flashback Friday:

The end of the school year means field day in elementary schools. I used to love that day.

When I was in the 4th grade, I was on crutches at the end of the year, and couldn’t participate in field day. I was so bummed.

The past few years, my kids have had the middle school version of field day. At least they’ve been able to get outside and have fun for a bit with their friends. They also usually sign years book on that day which is fun.

Flashback to elementary field day.

What are your weekend plans?

These two have a track meet. I ordered their individual track pics, and when I opened my email, the photographer had also made one of them together!

Hadley has her last volleyball tournament this weekend, and otherwise, we might get outside if the weather allows!

I hope you have a great weekend,

  2. Weirdly I missed out on 4th grade field day due to crutches too! We have Alec’s prom tonight and a few of his friends are coming over as soon as they get out of school (at 10:45) to hang out and get ready so it will be a busy night. But the rest of our weekend sounds pretty low key.

  4. Great recap! I miss/don’t miss the end of the school year hustle. So many things to enjoy but the exhaustion is REAL. Love that you got a track picture with both the kiddos (and they were willing to do that for you!). I got the sugared lemonade candle from BBW last weekend and have been burning it all week – love the fresh scents of spring and summer.

    Have a great weekend 🙂

  7. I just read your post on Cotillions and it was very interesting. Your favorite dress of Hadley’s is my favorite as well.

    I’m curious to know what kinds of dances do they do at the Cotillions? old-timey, tranditional? Modern? I don’t even know what modern dances kids do today. I was a teen in the late 70s early 80s. 🙂
