Photo Friday!

Happy Friday, blog-reading friends and fam!! =)

Here are a few recent pictures... starting with the painting class at River Oaks last night with my Creek County girls!  We made a pretty spring floral painting, and I'm always fascinated by how differently they all turn out!  There are step-by-step instructions, and no one in the room ends up with the same thing. God made us uniquely creative, and I love it! ❤

The instructor lady mentioned at the end that everyone should pick a signature flower to put in all their paintings, and she suggested choosing one that was part of your wedding bouquet. So I got really cracked up at that and the reactions at our table! "Welllll..."  "Thanks, life!"  "I guess we can leave ours blank." lol  Anyway, it was a fun night, even without a signature flower! =)

Yesterday was "Dress as your favorite animal" day at Kyndal's Pre-K. She chose a unicorn, which just makes me happy, and she picked out the blue lipstick. Rach got some temporary hair color for the occasion and made an awesome glittery tutu for her.  And, as always, she's a little preshface!

Speaking of hair color changes, I gave my Bitmoji girl fun pink hair since I can't have it in real life. lol  Yay!

My real life hair is more professional. lol  And look, I bought a bun donut thing and watched a Youtube video and figured out how to use it!  Whaaaat!?  I've done two very quickly and successfully, so I'm happy about that! =)

We welcomed a new Muecke girl to the world this week... precious little Gracie Mae was born to my cousin, Michael, and his wife, Melissa.  ...Maxine (my mom), Marilyn, and Melissa married into the Muecke name, then there's me and my cousin, Amanda ("Mandy"), who were born with it, and now Gracie, so currently six "Muecke" girls in our family! ❤

Here's a pic from when we picked up our race packets that I never posted here.  Yay for Tiffany and her friendship!!

My latest TV show binge is Friday Night Lights.  Taylor Kitsch as Tim Riggins = one of two men (the other being Chris Hemsworth as Thor) who can pull off the longer hair and still be crazy-attractive!  Both of them have piercing eyes and lots of playful arrogance, and I gotta say, it's a winning combo for me. lol

In the precious and adorable department, here are two videos of the Jaceman getting a card in the mail from Claire yesterday.  She moved to Italy with her parents around a year ago, but he still talks about her a lot and refers to her as his girlfriend. Lately, he's been talking about how "When me and Claire get married..."  There's lots of endings to that sentence, one being, "I'm gonna take her to Del Rancho and let her order whatever she wants!" lol ...He's decided that they're going to have a big house and two sons named Tom & Jerry (LOL), and a daughter named Tar-tar.  ??  Yeah, we have NO IDEA where that name came from! lolol  But him talking about Claire is just always super cute, and I for reals teared up when I saw the first video and realized it was a card from her, knowing he'd be SO EXCITED!! ❤  Childhood excitement is the best. His little laugh just makes me really happy, as does his random suddenly Texan accent when he says, "I'm wraatin' her ba-ack!" lol




It's been a good week.  Yesterday was lunch at Chuy's to celebrate Mary's birthday (with Mary, Jenni, Dianna, and Judge Hammers) - fun times!  Today, Judge is taking Laura and I to lunch since it was Administrative Professional's Day this week!  =)

And here's a pic of Dad's office staff when he took them to lunch for that yesterday. =)

And that's all for today, I guess!  Happy Friday, and have a great weekend!!
