Another weekend has flown by.
- Friday afternoon I got off work and the four of us took off to dinner and shopping on our own. And no, that doesn’t happen too often. I think we were all hungry and cranky and we needed a pool liner. The Japanese restaurant was in the same parking lot and I said just go there. The kids had never been to a Japanese restaurant and they ended up having a fantastic time. They loved watching the guy cook and he was great, paying special attention to them. The kids loved learning about chopsticks. I was proud they both tried the salad but neither liked it. The soup was a hit though. Emma LOVED the noodles and steak while Lexi went for steak and rice. Lexi declared at the end that “it’s the best day ever”. They were begging to go back for lunch the next day but with our bill, it will be a LONG time before we go back.
- We didn’t order a pool liner on Friday. But we need to. It’s already getting into the upper 80s here and we need to get started on it. You might remember that we got a hole into it at the end of last summer after we had just bought it the summer before. But I’m not bitter about it.
- Saturday we got up early and went to paintball with our youth group. I was there just to take pictures. Unfortunately the workers wouldn’t let me get close to the courses and the girls and I ended up leaving early. Apparently too early though as I missed the best one and where Scott got this war wound http://twitpic.com/3yyy3.
- MIL ended up coming by and taking the girls for the afternoon. I ran a few errands and then laid down and ended up taking a 3 hour nap. Fantabulous.
- Saturday evening we had dinner at Jake and Jill’s for our Sunday School class. I made Paula Deen’s corn casserole that turned out fantabulous as well. http://bit.ly/10Nm0E The girls went with us but were overall well behaved. They kept Jake and Jill busy as well as a 7 month old who was so cute belly-laughing at their antics. They ended up falling asleep before we left.
- Sunday was church, CVS and more church.
- I’d also like to point out we finally got our XM radio set up in the car. I had grabbed the Spanish version of the instructions and may I say that I actually was reading them out loud?? I guess my teach myself Spanish courses actually paid off. The fact that we still had to call to figure it out is totally unrelated. *ahem*
The girls have their yearly checkup Thursday and I’m hosting another Mary Kay party on Thursday (anyone need anything??) and S has her ice skating recital this weekend but other than that this week should be pretty standard.
