Hello Monday and Hello Junie B Jones Weekend! (February 2, 2026)

 



Hi Friends and Happy Monday!  Sarah and I are so glad you stopped by!  If you blogged about your weekend, link up with us below so we can follow along!  Here is what we were up to....

 

Friday Night

 

It was opening night for Eva's show!  Since we had pizza last week already, I got us Jersey Mike's subs for dinner.  We all ate at different times due to our crazy schedules.  

 

Diana and I did Eva's hair and makeup and then I dropped her off at the high school.  Diana also headed to the high school to get ready for the game with her team.

 


I headed to Red's to meet my football mamas for a cocktail before the basketball game and show.

 

We headed to the WHS basketball game.  They were playing Salem (our biggest rival). Rob and his dad met me there.  We could only stay for the first 20 minutes or so.  When we left to walk down the hall to the theater, we were getting crushed 16-3.

 








We met up with the fam- my parents and brother, Kayla and Ally and Cass.  



 

We found our seats and then Eva put us in the best mood!  She shined as Lucille in Junie B Jones.  We laughed-we cried and we were so proud of her!

 


 






During intermission, I snuck down the hall to check the score and the game was already over.  I was scared to ask BUT we won...we won!!  The final score was 55-47.  Windham was happy!

 



After the show, we gave Eva all of the kudos and then we went home to crash!  Diana headed out to a sleepover.

 











 

Saturday

 

We were up bright and early.  I headed to the gym for an awesome yoga class...



 

 then grabbed a tea- Valentine theme- I am here for it!


 

   Then we all headed up to the high school around lunchtime to the see the Windham Cheer Showcase.  With a small varsity team this year, we didn't expect much but they really impressed us with their quick little number.  It was also awesome to see the middle school team perform.  It was nice to see that the future for Windham Cheer is bright!



 

 


After that,  I took Diana to the mall to find a bathing suit but we struck out.  It sounds like more suits should be in the stores over the next week.  We shall see.

 

We came home and ate lunch and then Diana got Eva ready- she liked the way Diana did her makeup better than Mama- ha!  Rob and I finished "The Beast In Me" -WOW...is all I can say...watch it!

 

Then I brought Eva back to the high school for her final show.  I volunteered by helping to sell tickets.

 

The 2nd and final show was at 5pm and the grandparents were all in tow again.

 

It was just as amazing as the night before.  There were many tears after and that caused us all to cry- Eva misses it already!

 










This one killed me :(




After the show, we all headed back to our house for dessert and chit chat.  It was a wonderful show.

 

Sunday

 

 We slept in and it was GLORIOUS!  I had signed up for a gym class but the day before I cancelled because I really wanted to get some extra rest.  It will be the only chance I get this week.  It felt great!

 

Then we all got up (well minus Diana who was at another sleepover). We headed to mass and got to meet our new pastor.  He is WONDERFUL...we are thrilled that he is here- yeah!

 

After mass, we made the long drive to Westboro MA for Eva's hockey game.  They lost but what a battle!  It was an exciting one.






When we got home, I whipped us up a Sunday dinner then did the meal planning, grocery ordering and blogging.

 


Last night, Rob took Eva to her Middle School hockey game and I crashed.  I read and started watching the Grammys.  Diana worked.

 

It was a great winter weekend.  It is supposed to warm up to the 30's this week- I am excited!  

 

What were you all up to?

That sounds like a lovely weekend with a fabulous performance (or two!). Crazy when 30 degree temps are exciting; isn't it? I can't wait.

Marilyn said...

Your family had a jam packed weekend! Eva looks like she did so good in her play! How nice to get back into the 30's. We hit above freezing this week and are so thankful.

Joyce said...

The play looks like so much fun. We loved the Junie B. Jones books in our house. I'm glad you squeezed some rest in to your busy weekend! We have ice on our driveway, but will hit the 40's mid-week so melting should happen. Have a nice week!

Maria Rineer said...

Aww! The pictures from Junie B. Jones are so good! Glad, but not surprised to hear that Eva crushed it!! And how fun to see a cheer showcase and for the basketball team to get another W- what a great way for Diana's last semester to begin. Enjoyed reading about your fab weekend. Have a great Monday!

Holly said...

What a great weekend! I know you're so proud of both your girls. That picture of Eva hugging Diana...wow. I would have bawled my eyes out over that one; maybe you can put it in a frame for them! It looks like you had a great weekend. Thanks for hosting us each week, sweet friend! I hope you have the best start to your week.

I'm a little late this week to the party - we spent a long weekend up north with spotty cell and no internet. It was actually glorious! Love all the videos and photos from a jam packed memorable weekend! Eva really shined!
