Today I took a photo of my son before school as this was his LAST MONDAY IN SECOND GRADE. Wow. He still has two weeks of school, but since next Monday is a holiday, this is it for second-grade Mondays for him. All of the cliches about time flying really seem to be true.
Speaking of time flying, each week seems to fly by for me as well. On Mondays I post this party, then, before I know it, it's the end of the week and time to pick two favorites for next week. As usual, it was difficult to decide what to feature. This week I choose desserts, but there were plenty of projects and savory recipes I considered too. Can't wait to see what everyone shows next week.
