The school parent association kept the sweet treats (and puns) coming this week...
The treats culminated in a lovely luncheon on Friday - complete with a treat take-home box...only mine didn't make it home. 😏
Some lovely notes/post-its from parents and students were a welcome surprise and very affirming.
And the students designed doorstops for all of the faculty using the 3D printer - each doorstop was unique, so, clearly, as the religion teacher I got a cross. I LOVE it!
The best part of the week (and best Mass of the year, hands down) was Confirmation. It was a beautiful Mass. I had never met Bishop Rojas before, as this was his first visit to our parish. And the students all looked dapper and beautiful all dressed up. I can't believe this crew is in 8th grade - it sounds cliche, but it seems like only yesterday I was coaching these girls in volleyball in 4th grade, back when they couldn't even make a good pass or serve the ball over the net. Time flies!
After Confirmation I decided to go to the grocery store. As I was getting in my car, I spotted the license plate below. Now, I understand he was probably a Minnesota fan (and no doubt thought I was creepy for taking a photo of his license plate), but I think he might also support twin siblings too.
This morning's alarm came way too early, but it was worth it - we kicked off our marathon training today by running (nearly) 14 miles. We ended our run at Jeni's, where they were celebrating National Ice Cream for Breakfast Day. (Yes, it's a national holiday - I can't make this stuff up.) To warm up we got coffee next door at Starbucks directly afterwards so we wouldn't freeze on our respective walks home. Brr...
There's a bit of work to be done for my Church docs class before I head to trivia tonight for my sister's school. It's always a ton of fun, so I can't wait! It's good to have a few excuses to relax this weekend. I hope you have a few good things planned too...
