Another week has almost come and gone. I can't believe it! Here are a few highlights:
*Matthew had his end of year piano recital on Monday. He told Bryon that his birthday present was a perfect performance. He didn't disappoint! He played both his solo and ensemble pieces perfectly. We couldn't have been more proud!
*Thomas had a game on Monday night and Matthew had a game tonight. Those are always so much fun. Every time Matthew made a great play, he immediately looked to see that we were watching him. I love that!
*Mary Beth is now asking to go to the potty in addition to going anytime I put her on the potty. We ate out after the game and she pointed to the bathroom and said, "Poo poo!" I guess I should get serious about training her. Maybe when school gets out.
*We are in the middle of the great Barnhill clean out. Here is why: Our family decided to pitch in and buy my mother an arbor for her birthday. I ordered it only to find out a week later that Dad thought it was his responsibility to order it! Well, I just couldn't see how I could refuse a beautiful arbor sitting at my door when I have the perfect place for it especially when the $36 shipping fee was nonrefundable! Bryon agreed that we could keep it so long as we had a garage sale that we have been mulling over to pay for it. I have been working like a dog going through the house and separating the things I no longer need (think baby clothes/equipment). I think it is so interesting how excited I get to aquire things and how I am equally excited to see them leave my house!
*Tomorrow is Matthew's track day at school. This is a very big deal! I remember my track day in kindergarten at Woodland Forrest Elementary in Tuscaloosa, AL. There was a contest to see who could blow the first bubble from a piece of bubble gum. I won! What a proud moment in my life! ;)
*This weekend will consist of a Cinco de Mayo party tomorrow night, 2 baseball games, a birthday party, and lots of yard work. I am sure it will fly by!
Have a wonderful weekend!

Sounds like your weekend is going to be busy like ours! I wish we were closer so we could come and see those boys play t-ball -- I bet they are adorable.
Post pictures of the arbor!
Ahhh, track day! I remember fondly our "Bobcat Olympics". I was always a champ at the potato sack race and balloon toss!
Have a great weekend!
Hello Elizabeth,
Now don't find this weird but I came across your blog in a round about way through a couple of friends blogs. And your recaps are often so homey, sweet and encouraging that I read along as if I have been invited in. I felt a kinship with you in your love of book reading and movie choices. So all that to say that I would love to know when you are having your garage sale because I would love to stock up on baby stuff. I am five months along on my first pregnancy and we (husband, step daughters, and I)are building our first house too. So I have not been acquiring the baby stuff I probably need. I will just keep track in your posting.
God Bless you and your sweet family,
Jenny
