Okay, it's time for another confession: I just cannot stand the scent of roses. (There, I said it!) They certainly look pretty, though, don't they? I had a lovely time with them today, meandering around our garden with a camera, snapping away at them while trying not to inhale!
On Saturday night, my daughter hosted her first big sleepover at our house, inviting every girl in her first grade class. Let me tell you, those ten little girls stayed up alllllllllll niiiiiiiiight loooooooong! Luckily for them, they're super-sweet. Just like the cake I made for the party...
I know that I included a photo of peonies last week, but we have them in vases all over the house right now (saving them from collapsing from their own weight on the bushes), and they're just so fluffy and pretty! I couldn't resist including another peony shot this week...
Also pretty, and so full of poise: our dear friends' daughter (pictured below) at the school talent show today...
I noticed something funny at this talent show. All of the girls sang melancholy songs about heartbreak, and all of the boys rapped silly songs while break-dancing. (Hmmmm....just a coincidence? You tell me!)
My son's Little League team made it to the Championships! (Those are some of his teammates, below--such a great group of boys this year!) They play their final game of the season tonight. Wish them luck!
