A Celebration of Sprinkles Cupcakes & Free Lasagna from Buca

This afternoon after completing ESY Summer School, Ray and I left for downtown Dallas to enjoy a celebratory Dimples cupcake... but Dimples had closed and I was devastated. So the husband quickly went to plan B and located Sprinkles in Dallas.




He absolutely saved the day because our Sprinkles cupcakes were amazing! We couldn't just decide on one so we each got two! One to enjoy while dinning in and one to go. We enjoyed and taste tested the carrot, red velvet, chocolate marshmellow, and the salty caramel. They were all so very tasty but the carrot and red velvet were my favorites.



Here are two cupcakes to go.

I had received a message earlier in the day from my friend Kristin reminding me that today was National Lasagna Day at Buca di Beppo! You receive a free portion of lasagna with the purchase of a small entree. What could be better than free and delicious food.?!? Plus we used the $10 off coupon we found in last Sunday's Newspaper! So after stop for our afternoon dessert of cupcakes, we decided to enjoy a Buca di Beppo lunch and save the lasagna leftovers for dinner. (Thanks K for the reminder;)





Our afternoon celebration was definitely full of smiles! Tonight I am enjoying wine, movies, and time spent with my sweet family of four! That is all the celebration I need:)

End of ESY Yogurt, Pizza, and Pool Day Celebration!

This past Wednesday, Julie and I celebrated our last few days in ESY Summer School by enjoying an afternoon of pizza, yogurt, and pool time. This trip Michael, her husband, was also able to come with us and enjoy his very first experience at Yogilicious Yogurt Shop in Allen! It was delicious!

What a fun afternoon with my carpool partner and a great way to celebrate the end of our summer school experience.

Summer School Fun w/ Julie!

This summer I have taken a role as a teaching assistant in Plano ISD for ESY (Extended School Year) Summer School. I even get to see two of my kiddos from school:) Each day I have the wonderful opportunity to carpool with a sweet friend, Julie Zoutendam, from our ABF Honeymooner's group at our church. It has been so much fun to share our summer together. This past Thursday... which should easily be labeled as our "Friday" since we only attend four hours a day from Monday through Thursday we decided to enjoy an afternoon of fun activities including tasty Gloria's Mexican Food for lunch at the Shops in Fairview and pool time back at her apartment. Here are a few pictures of our afternoon hang out:)

Julie is such a sweet girl and I am so thankful to share our summer together. Here's to our days in ESY and to many more days of fun in the sun!
