Weekend Birthday Plans

We are entering into our celebratory season...The end of May this year brings birthdays, a graduation for one, end of school for the others and Memorial Day Weekend too. We start things off this weekend with my Rhett's 15th birthday!

We have no set plans for Friday night. Rhett's friend may come over for some pingpong, and possibly dinner. Not quite sure about dinner yet. Maybe some tilapia with jasmine rice and a vegetable.

Saturday Marian is coming to spend the day! That is always a happy time. After mass, we are celebrating Rhett turning fifteen with a small get-together of family and friends. Dinner is a Taco and Nacho bar catered from his favorite local Mexican restaurant. Peyton is taking care of his dessert requests. So far we have a chocolate cake with peanut butter icing, snickerdoodle and no bake cookies, and cinnamon streusel muffins. She's a good sister, that one. : )

Sunday is Rhett's actual birthday. We are spending it together as a family, per his request. And we are doing his two favorite things: Eating and watching movies! We are traveling a bit to an amazing theatre to see 1. Alien...Me, Rhett, and Peyton...and 2. Diary of a Wimpy Kid...Steve and Flynn. I am so thankful for the gift of this amazing son. I will recap his special day early next week. In the meantime, here is a look at the past week here in our little family...

My ever thoughtful son knew how much I liked my Brambly Hedge spring teacup, and he also knows my love of all things autumn.

And this is what he got me for Mother's Day.

I will cherish it always.

New favorite thing at Wendy's!!!

Fresh Mozzarella Chicken Salad!

It is sooo good.

This is the half order. And it is filling.

Sadly, I had to get strawberry lemonade.

No blackberry. Yet.

Typical me. Healthy salad.

Sugar filled drink.

Madison sent me these beautiful pictures from her visit to The Workers' Museum. She went with her Danish Language class, and she loved it. 

The museum allows visitors a chance to step into everyday life of throughout the past one hundred years. This is a kitchen from the 1930's...

  And a bedroom in a tiny space that housed families during WWII.

She is speaking fluent Danish now. I am beyond proud of her.

I started adding a few summer touches of red, white, and blue around.

I found these cute primitive bowl fillers on Etsy.

And I may have gone back to order more for fall. And Christmas.

When you know you are an addict a true fan.

Early mornings are my very favorite time to visit our beautiful church.

This little guy had a birthday this week!

Happy 9th birthday to our first little fur baby, Kirby.

Peyton spoiled him with gifts and pumpkin muffins.

My baby.

Because. Sweet.

Have a wonderful weekend with your people, my friends!

This Pinterest pic reminds me of afternoons with my Rhett while Madison and Peyton were at school.

You know...yesterday. : )
