leftover {thursday}

imogen's cc {classical conversations} one day a week community/school finished their last day last week and our final field trip was to the dallas symphony orchestra. we have been studying orchestra these past six weeks and a perfect ending to the unit.

one of our favorite parts was the huge organ and beautiful sounds that came out of it. the lowest note made the whole room shake. growing up, my grandpa played the organ and it reminded me of when we would go to his farm house and bang on it. i loved the sounds it would make.

this concert was geared toward kiddos and they played a little bit from a few different famous composers. when tchaikovshy's nutcracker was played, they had dancers come out and i think that was the girls favorite part.  

after the symphony we walked over to klyde warren park and had a picnic and played. the girls love this city park and so do i (when it's not really crowded)



best quotes this week:
"i keep finding hair balls in my mouth" -imogen

"my packpack has too much crap in it." -juno 😳😳😳

"you can give me a shower now. my stink stinks." -mira


and just when i've been craving friendship...

our very dear friends from nebraska are on their way to visit us. basically, they are the reason my giant and i reconnected and are married (well, them and of course God). our kiddos haven't really ever gotten to spend good quality time together, so a small house + a week together will give them lots of time to play and become bffs. 

i'm going to bombard you with pictures {i should have done a whole separate Easter post, but you know i don't think of those things until now}

this is my favorite Easter pic. i asked who was excited to celebrate our risen Lord and this is how she answered me. love her huge heart.







we have a full weekend and next week with our friends. which includes baseball, homeschool days at great wolf lodge, a night out, a new church, the splash park, maybe a hike, maybe the city, good food and good fellowship.

happy weekend.
