More baseball photos for the Peas

Graduation!

Whew!!! DD's Graduation finally arrived. What a day it was!! Our county schools always have their graduation ceremonies down at DAR Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C. It was a little nervewracking because the day before there had been a shooting at the Holocaust Museum not too far away. Always something going on.

Anyway, DD was beautiful and happy and my parents were there along with our older daughter. Then we had the party that evening. It really turned out very well. Lots of kids came, they're so nice, too. Lots of food, friendly faces and happy graduates!

Baseball, baseball and MORE baseball!

Soooo much baseball lately. Five games in seven days! Plus tryouts for the high school summer team, plus practices! At least the school year is winding down. Can't wait for graduation!

Prom Pictures

My daughter's senior prom was this weekend. So much fun! Got lots of pictures. As it happened, another girl in her group had the EXACT SAME DRESS! And then another friend had one VERY SIMILAR. It was cute, though. One picture I got with the dates made it look like they were in a wedding!

Lame Blogger --- Busy Month

I know, I'm a lame blogger, but it's been kinda busy around here, and rainy. Why all the rain this spring? We don't live in Seattle. One whole weekend was spent up at Frostburg where my daughter will be in the fall and she had cheerleading tryouts, and she made the team for the fall, natch!!!!!! She's happy. They're going to do competitions, which she loves, including the big college one in Orlando in January. Super fun! They get to go to UCA camp in August, too! So she's already got a group of people she'll know when she gets to school in the fall. Happy, happy, happy.

We've also had a few baseball games, some have been rained out, some have been rescheduled. And we had the church confirmation for my son. That was quite a production. He's done, he's happy, and no more religion classes.

Now on to senior banquet, AP exams, internship reception, prom, graduation and graduation party. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it all.

Meanwhile, I've been working a lot (I work at home transcribing), playing with the cat, and baking. I've noticed that my kids' friends come by a lot more if there is food at the house. All of my daughter's friends are expecting goodie boxes being mailed to them at college full of cookies and treats! That'll be fun.

Safeway Savings

I don't normally go to Safeway. I think it's outrageously overpriced. But I have been watching the sales flyers lately and have gotten some good deals. One being if you spend $25 on frozen foods, you'll get a coupon for $10 off your next trip for more frozen foods (think pizza, veggies, lean cuisine). So I bought everything on sale AND got $10 back. Then deal number 2 was buy 10 products from a list at various prices ranging from 75 cents to $2.50 on things like bagged salad (1.25), my daughter's fav. Fiber One bars ($2.50), to 32 oz gatorage (.75). You get the picture. Anyway, I spent a total of out-of-pocket $64.31 with savings of $39.19, plus my $10 for next time. I should have been better about gathering up more coupons, but I'm not very good at that. Maybe next week. Anyway, the frozen food deal is good through 3/31.

Baby Shower!

Went to my niece's baby shower yesterday. It was fun. So much food!!!!!!!!!! She got lots of nice things. She's having a girl, so everything was pink. My sister-in-law is such a fabulous cook, everything was so good. I made her a diaper cake (see photo), and some of Bakerella's cake pops. I'm not happy with how they turned out, though. They kept falling off the sticks. I'll have to make some more to perfect it. They sure were a hit, and quite yummy, if I do say so myself.
