Lydia has had a pretttty great weekend and tomorrow she comes off her pedestal. We had her family/friends party this afternoon. I did not plan well and made all kinds of rookie mistakes regarding time. We asked everyone to come over at 11:30. I had to call Carmen to rescue us to pick up meat at restaurant- 4Rivers beef brisket and pulled pork. At 11:30 I was still in my pajams and hadn't made frosting yet for cupcakes!
Thankfully everyone was a little late and I wasn't totally rude still getting ready. Our spread consisted of: above mentioned meat, pigs in blanket, watermelon, my new yummy grape salad (which is so far from good for you- cream cheese/sour cream, sugar, walnuts, and grapes- YUM), garlic bread, corn pudding, baked beans, olives and pickles, and for dessert vanilla/strawberry cupcakes with chocolate buttercream frosting and gelatis from Jeremiah Ice.
Lydia got to open more presents and really got a kick out of her Barbie motor bike, new outfit, Tianna towel, Princess and the Frog cook book (from guess who....Carmen- so perfect). While opening presents big sister was outside pouting, by herself. Lina could not bring herself to be happy for her sister at all this weekend. Makes me sad. I tried- yelling at her : ) - didn't work. We talked about it- didn't change. We even prayed about it Friday night and again tonight. I don't get it. They can play so nicely together all day, but then to show joy/be happy when someone you love it happy- nope. This summer I need to work on that little relationship. That and manners. My girls' manners have really digressed and there is nothing I can't stand more than a child with poor manners.
Lina has 4 days of school this week and 3 next. THEN it's summer. Lydia gets to go to Summer Fun at her school this week from 9-1. That will be fun for her.
