This was a really busy week and, while I have about 150 pictures from the week, I only have a few to share. The big project for the week was finding, organizing, and photographing over 100 pieces of artwork that Carrigan created during preschool and kindergarten. We have had a couple drawers we have been keeping them in but the drawers were at capacity and things were starting to get smushed and ruined. Like I said, this week we decided to get everything out and photograph it. I then put together a 20 page hardcover book of all the photos. It is being printed and should hopefully be here sometime next week. It has been an undertaking!
Carrigan also had a birthday party this week for a boy in her church and school class. It was Pokemon themed and she enjoyed making Pikachu ears and a stress ball out of a balloon and flour.
We also had a busy week of wedding prep. We went flower girl shopping on Monday and finally settled on dresses. Then on Friday, I went over and helped my mom work on alterations. Carrigan's dress is almost done. My dress in almost done. Becca's is underway but needs a bit more work, Emily's still needs a lot more work and I don't think my mom has even started her dress yet. It is less than a month and a half until the wedding and there is still tons to do!
With all the wedding prep and other things going on, Elsie has become really good at entertaining herself. Sometimes you have to really immerse yourself in something to really get the full experience. Elsie is figuring that out already.
Merrick's big excitement of the week was/is select basketball tryouts. He already had the first day of tryouts today and they wrap up tomorrow. He will find out Friday if he made a team and which team he made. I have no picture and no idea of how it really went because parents were not allowed to watch tryouts. He felt like it went well though and that he did his best. We will just have to wait and see what Friday brings.
It has been a full, busy week. It's just the beginning of a couple of busy months ahead.
