Sweet Summer Sundays

Preschoolers. Wonderful friends. Productivity. New recipes. Delicious food. 

Pretty much describes today. What a wonderful Sunday.
 
Today was the move-up day at Sunday School. We had a whole new group of 3 year-olds start in our Toy Barn classroom at church. It was so sweet to see the kids come in, so shy, and watch how they unfolded and became comfortable with us. There was one little boy who, during Bible story time, just curled up next to me and took my arm and put it around himself. So sweet. I feel so blessed to be starting my second year in the same classroom with and awesome co-teacher and amazing kids. Seriously, those kids are sometimes the highlight of my week. The things they say sometimes, their expressions...hilarious. Absolutely hilarious. And
I found out that my best friend's niece, Kaiya is in my class this year, which is just so fun, because her sister Josie, was in my class when I first started teaching. I love those girls and their family. 

Also, I felt so productive today! That is always my goal for Sunday afternoons, just catch up on laundry, clean the apartment for the week, and start the week out strong with some type of healthy meal for dinner and lunch Monday. I even got some errands done this afternoon too. I love when I can run errands and take my time just browsing the stores, not rushing to get anywhere. I know, it may be a little boring, but I find afternoons like that refreshing. I just feel ready to tackle whatever the next week holds, when everything is organized and in order at home.

My best friend, Kristin, and her husband, Nate, were in town this weekend too, celebrating Josie's 5th birthday, and they were able to stop by today for a little while to visit! I haven't seen her since April, and since she and Nate live about 5 hours away, I don't see them as often as I'd like. It was such a great little visit, to see them and catch up a little about what is going on with each of us. I love those two!! I can't wait to go see them in Kansas soon! 

This weekend, I also bought a grill, which I am very, very excited about haha. It's just a little one, but it works great! I grilled chicken, potatoes and veggies, and made a new chocolate chip cookie recipe! It was so fun to try out these new recipes and the grill--with success!

Oh well, time to get ready for work tomorrow...and a good night's sleep!
