It was fun!!

The week ended well, with Beth coming home! And Tori, Katie, and Drew participating in the concert for VBS, it was cool. We bbq'd after and enjoyed. Then ran to swim lesson for Drew. Tori and Katie played foosball the entire time. Beth and I played a game of ping pong while Drew swam.. he was having issues so I left the room asking another mom to let me know if I was needed. She told me after my leaving was the right thing to do. I'm glad I did make the right choice.

Saturday was a bridal shower for my future sil.  It was at an OMG gorgeous (beyond), home in a gated community.. with a live person in a tuxedo-style uniform at the gate, with guest passes for parking... see the kind of over the top we're dealing with.. champagne,  cloth napkins, real silver service. the kitchen of this house was as big as my dining room, and my dining room is HUGE!!!! All I kept thinking was how do you keep it all clean (yes I do know people like that hire people to clean, but still!!)  the couple is older, no kids at home, but they do care for an elderly parent.. I'd be scared if I was a daughter to have Drew over, he'd break something for sure!! The girls did go with me, and had a lovely time!! Katie even won a prize for the under 10 set for one of the games. Too cute. 

Sunday we went to Muldoons Irish pub after church for brunch and to see our friend Stuart Martz play and enjoy his CD release party. We ended up splitting up, the kids were fried and done, so Tim took them home, and I stayed with my dad. He and I stopped at the grocery so I could grab dinner on the way home.

Today is busy, but it's all in the afternoon.. we have swimming lessons, and then run home to eat and then Beth has ballet from 6:30-7:30.  I am going to find a nearby park to go to with the others.

Time to think dinner, tonight has to be a crock pot.
