Another busy, beautiful, and nice spring day! The weather was very nice; the children were reasonably nice, and Hubby was his usual nice. I think even I was nice, but you’d have to ask one of them! The two oldest grandchildren had their Taekwondo belt test at noon. I couldn’t attend because I took the youngest one to a birthday party but I heard from several reliable, although quite partial, sources that they did great. Their grandpa video taped if for me and their mom. They are both currently ranked Senior Green Belts and were testing for their Blue Belts. I was glad that several other family members were able to attend and I know the kids were really happy about it. They should receive their new rank at a ceremony next week.
The birthday party was for one of our 3-year old granddaughter’s classmates at Mother’s Day Out. It was a princess party at a place called ‘Glitz and Glam.’ After up-dos for their hair (hairpiece included), make-up on their innocent little faces, and polish on their finger nails, the little girls donned princess gowns, crowns, and slippers. They were adorable and had so much fun dressing up and drinking pink lemonade out of plastic wine glasses! On the road, our little 'Sleeping Beauty' zonked out in the car dreaming of make believe soon to be awakened by her prince charming, her Daddy.
Later in the afternoon the youngest two went home with their dad, memaw, and pawpaw for the rest of the weekend (sorry - I’m sure I messed up the spelling on memaw and pawpaw). I took the oldest granddaughter to get her a manicure and a pedicure, compliments of her reading tutor for her commended performance on the reading portion of the TAKS test. Yea!!! I hope she does as well on the math and science portion. As I waited for her, I decided to get a badly-needed pedicure for myself. She is really enjoying the teal blue toe polish, complete with flowers on the big toenails. The fingernails are a lovely shade of hot pink with white polka dots. And I thought the bright red polish on my toes was bold! We had a lot of fun and I so enjoyed a little bit of special time alone with my first born grandchild.
Hubby and I worked in the yard for a couple of hours and made a small dent in the flower beds, finally. After cleaning up, we went to dinner at the Outback Steakhouse, using Hubby’s birthday gift card from our youngest daughter. Thanks again, J and E. Then we headed for the movie theater to see ‘Horton Hears a Who.” Unfortunately, Hubby dozed off and I had to walk around a bit because my RLS started acting up but the granddaughter thought it was a great movie. We got home late but…it was a really nice day.
