Wrap Up the Week

 This week felt busy. 

We had Matt Maher on Tuesday which was excellent. I didn't write about my purple cider. 

It's an Ube (hence the purple) Coconut Cake hard cider and it was delightful! 

Wednesday was a BIG day. Husband's work's big food show, the first one Post COVID. I am not articulating all the issues he had, first moving the show from October to April, then navigating all the normal things that come up when planning a big event. Another site had their show last week and the numbers of attendees were dismal. 

But it was SO good. They beat their 2019 numbers even! And for the first time we took the kids out of school to go see what Dad actually does. 

It was so great to both let them see how hard he works, but also to meet so many people who all told them how great their dad is. We are so truly lucky to have him. We are SO proud of him! 

The kids truly enjoyed ALL the samples. 

Oh we ALSO had the class pet this week. In first grade each kid gets to pick one little animal and take it home in a little carrier. Then the student journals about their adventures. 

This is Carol Corn. She enjoyed the food show, especially this big cheeseburger. 

Carol also went shopping, made pasta, and slept in a bed next to Veronica. (The American Girl doll.)

She went to mass, and saw some other first grade friends and went to lunch at Portillo's. 

Carol also joined us for Matt Maher. So it was a fun week. (And I am not even a little sad that the week is over, it's a lot of pressure coming up with some fun things for a stuffed animal to do.) 

Anyway, that's what was up with us. This next Holy Week will be busy too, but also good.
