"A portrait of my girls, once a week, every week, in 2014."

This week:

• I am halfway done with this 52 week project! I kind of like doing it because I remember to take pictures of my girls every week. There are some weeks when I feel like it is a chore but most of the time I really enjoy it.
• my mom washed all the windows in the whole house for me. It's such a big thing and I am so grateful for that to my mom. Let me just say we have a lot of windows in this house and they are quite big. It took my mom three days to do it all. Phew.
• on Wednesday it was my brother's birthday. My sister with my girls made a cute little video clip for him where they danced and were all cute. It turned out so awesome that I still keep watching it.
• Emma had a playdate with one of her best friends from school. She was very happy. Alyssa got lucky as she was also invited. I kept thinking about how awesome my summer would have been if we weren't leaving.
• on Thursday we went out for dinner. We went to two different restaurants and they were both closed down for the summer. I had no idea they did that in Bulgaria. Even if it makes sense why they're closed it still made me a little frustrated. We ended up at the sushi place and enjoyed our dinner. We sat outside and kids ran had a chance to run around. After dinner we stopped at the frozen greek yogurt place and enjoyed dessert. I wanted my mom and my sister to have a great evening before leaving, an evening to remember.
• on Friday my mom and sister left and I was very sad. It is so nice having someone around to hold the baby while you're making dinner and someone to talk to during the day. I am so used to doing it all by myself but then when my mom comes and helps with things I cannot help but wish we lived close to each other.
• Matt got an honor award at work for being totally awesome.
• we have so much food in our fridges (two of them + a big freezer to be exact) that we will not be able to eat it all in the two weeks that we are here. I wish I could throw a party but we don't have any friends anymore (it seems everyone left already) and I am not an entertainer (I'd rather clean the whole house by myself than invite people over).
• we are trying to squeeze as many road trips in the weekends that are left as we can. Bulgaria cannot be more stunning than it is right now. I will have to write extra posts to show the pictures from our awesome trips.
• we have one "normal" week left and then it gets totally crazy until we leave.

Linking up with Jodi.
