Graduation Party!

Well, our family gathering to celebrate my son's graduation from 8th grade was a success!  Everyone had a good time and the weather was perfect.  Here is a picture of the centerpiece I created with my cricut...

I got lots of compliments on my decor and of course I couldn't stop bragging about my cricut.  Have I mentioned I LOVE IT!  I was so busy getting stuff together and chit chatting with family that I never took a picture of the table with the centerpiece and my two end pieces.  Oh well at least I was able to take a picture of them individually.

Now we are on to getting ready for school.  One more week.  Both of my kids are looking forward to it.  I am taking a few days off of work that week so I can be home to see them off to school and to be there when they get home.  I find that the first few days are so exciting that when they get home they just want to talk about their day and I don't want to miss that.  The phone call just doesn't cut it.  Plus I get the house all to myself! (That's the real reason..haha)

And we have even more good news in our house....my daughter tried out for a travel softball team (12U level) on Saturday morning and by that afternoon we received a phone call from the coach asking her to be on the team!  She was so excited and we are so proud of her.  So now both of our kids are in travel.  We are in the 15U travel baseball and 12U travel softball.  I don't think my husband and I will see each other at all next spring.

Well, that's all for now.  Have a great Wednesday!
