downtown, cupcakes, and a whole lot of mud

With school over, I have a bit more free time....

Wednesday was spent in the city with Sarah. After we shopped 'till we dropped, we dined at the amazing Sam LaGrassa's.


Met the flower girls for some catching up and gossip at Zack's Pizza.

Thursday I met Justin for a lunch date at Fallon. That afternoon I whipped up a batch of chocolate cupcakes for Christopher as a belated birthday treat. (His request was for chocolate cupcakes with a hockey theme.)




That night we celebrated the end of school and a pay raise at Wicked in Legacy Place with the girls and their respective boys.


Friday was spent doing camp prep and unpacking the new order. That night we set up the new fire pit and fired up s'mores with Joe and my parents.


Saturday morning was spent at a camp meeting and our lunch plans at Castle Island got postponed because of the overcast.

Sunday was the Warrior Dash in Amesbury and it was a blast! We trekked a 3 mile course through thick mud, maneuvered around barbed wire, tire swings, leapt fire, and climbed 15 foot walls. I can't wait to get a big team together for next year.

And that was "vacation." Ready or not, here comes camp...

pork lo mein and the start of summer

For Field Day, I contributed watermelon cupcakes for the parent volunteers.


And just like that, school is out-of-session.

We successfully did the Massachusetts: Delivered! pizza box project with success. Of course there are things I would change for next year, but overall it was a success!

Saturday Justin and I ventured to Martha's Vineyard for the day and had an amazingly relaxing day on the water.







Yesterday was the last day of school and for the end-of-the-year luncheon, I made pork lo mein cupcakes.




To a summer filled with day trips, cupcakes, and fun memories...

a successful "grill-warming"

We hosted about 20 of our closets friends and family members Saturday at our first Raynor Ave bbq. It was a "grill-warming" before an official housewarming. We thought it was a great success!




I am currently taking only one graduate level course right now and I have to remind myself what how to use down time....

Data meetings tomorrow...
Field trip to the MFA Thursday...
Field Day Friday...
Only one more full week of school...

And the school year is winding down...
