Peace, love and gymnastics

Today Maisie competed in her third gymnastics meet of the season.  Metro Retro was a home meet and all the girls marched in wearing retro clothes.  As always Maisie had a blast competing and being with her friends and teammates.  Overall she had a very good meet and I hope to get pictures and a video up in the next day or two but for now, just a few pictures from before the meet started.

Maisie and Coach Megan looking oh-so cool.

Maisie and Aspen.

Resting…I mean stretching before the meet.

I love watching Maisie compete and couldn’t image not watching her but I find the meets very stressful and even now, hours later I’m still so very keyed up and I need to relax a bit and get some sleep!  On days like this I sort of wish that I was a drinker because I could use one. 

Then too it’s been a stressful and busy week as I was asked to make all the meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner for the home and visiting Coaches as well as the Judges.  So I have been cooking, baking, cooking and baking this past week.  One of the items that I made for lunch was a Southwest Pasta Salad and oh was it beautiful looking and wonderful tasting!  Click on the picture to be taken to the recipe and make this pasta salad because it is awesome!
