Pink Lady

Hi Friends and Happy Monday! As always, I am here with Sarah and we are chatting about our weekends. If you did too, grab our graphic above and link up with us below...c'mon...it'll be fun :)

Here is what our summer weekend looked like...

Friday Night

It was SHOW time...I was giddy! The girls worked for the past three weeks with Triple Threat Theater Camp or TTTC for their big show and we were sooo excited to see them perform!

Rob, his Dad and I headed to Red's for an early dinner at Red's then headed up to the high school. Rob and I had bopped up earlier when Mrs. Mullen asked me if I could loan them a white dress for a girl in the show so we brought the dress up and she said we could come back early to get great seats so we did!

We got front row seats FTW! We saved a couple for my parents too :)

Head Shots!

and the Program

Since we were in the theater early, I helped Kate with a few things and observed some behind the scenes action...

and observed our favorite photographer Chuck taking some cast pics- I took one- it is awful but you get the picture :)

As soon as the show started, we were sucked in! They opened with The Greatest Showman- the whole cast was in it and we loved seeing our girls dance. (They do excerpts from different Broadway shows and this was the opening number)

Then it was time for "Waitress" and we LOVED seeing Diana play her dream role of Dawn. We shed tears- this show- perhaps her last ever- was such a surprise and a gift for all of us this year!

and Diana's Big Solo as Dawn- "When He Sees Me"

Next up were a few films-we loved seeing "Thriller." We finally got to see all the work they did especially with the filming when they were at the studio until 10:30 one night completing that!

Then it was time for the little kids as they performed "Willy Wonka" and did a great job.

Finally it was time for us to see Eva shine in "Bye Bye Birdie"

She played Teenager Alice :)

and the finale was a song from Hair.

My Girls- Backstage

After the show, the girls got to come out to their fan club- Mimi and Papa Pete- Papa Bob- Kayla and Sylvie- Ally and Bethany and her Daughter Darby came- it was very emotional!! :)

Eva is missing from a few pics because she ran to see her bestie Olivia who came to support her. We later found out that Diana's friend Will and his Mom Bethe (one of my my senior Mama friends) came to see Diana too :)

My Girls with TTTC Director Kate

What a night! We are so grateful! After the show, Rob and I (and Remi) crashed hard- we were emotionally drained! The girls headed up to the dance studio for the annual sleepover filled with food- fun- games and awards- they both won awards that are dubbed the "Pina Dorada Awards" so cute!

With one of the Broadway Veterans who came to teach them at camp (Enrico)

Saturday

We were up bright and early. I picked up Laurel and we headed up to Bedford to meet up with Lea and Shelley for our Golf Lesson prize. We picked up some great tips from our Coach TJ who also happens to coach the WHS Golf Team. Then we headed down the street to the Friendly Toast for a yummy brunch

Meanwhile, at home, Rob helped Eva and Olivia get set up for their first day of business. They have started a Dirty Soda Business and they are donating part of their proceeds to Windham Blackout! I am so proud and it was amazing seeing all of the customers they got and the fun they were having!

Later on, Diana and I started the documentary "Toxic Love Story" on Netflix. Oh boy! We didn't want to stop watching it but she had to get to work and I headed to get my toes done so we said we would finish it Sunday- oh boy were we sucked in though!

That night, Eva headed to a softball sleepover complete with softball games (observing some friends play), food and all kinds of fun

Rob and I headed to the next grad party of the season which was an absolute blast

Diana joined everyone later after work.

Sunday

We were up bright and early again.

Diana and I hit up Starbucks for Caffeine and Catching Up- my heart was squished

Then I am sure you know what was next...we finished Toxic Love Story...oh my gosh!!! You need to watch it and let me know what you think...just flippin' CRAZY!

After that, I got productive. I started getting in the feels and projects and being productive are very therapeutic for me so I started taking down the last of the grad decorations. When I got to the photo pallets, though, I couldn't do it. I started bawling. Rob came to hug me and tell me everything is going to be ok. He said I didn't have to take the pictures down yet- we can call it the Summer of Diana- ha! We agreed that we are so excited for her and college will be a wonderful experience. I am just mourning the change in the family dynamic and not being needed as much anymore :(

Rob went to do a "Birthday Errand." We had agreed to get Diana a new phone for her birthday and we could give it to her early since she will be at college on her actual birthday. I just kept moving. I cleaned up the porch and the family room and then I moved on to the dining room and got it all organized. Then I moved on to the kitchen and cleaned out and organized five cabinets. I couldn't stop.

When I was done with that, I whipped up dinner for the fam- Steak Bites, Spinach Tomato Pasta and BBQ Green Beans- everyone ate at different times but I was happy that dinner was a win!

We surprised Diana with her new phone- she even cried- reminded us of the first time we gave her a phone and she cried :)

Then she got ready to head to see Ariana Grande at the Boston Garden with her two besties. This was her Christmas present...only got one pic before she was off!

Rob, Eva and I ended our weekend with s'mores on the back deck...it was beautiful out! We actually filmed Robbie B for his Tik Tok debut...he did a great job ;)
