What a great party, everyone was so amazed at the decorations the misses made for the big dance. She started decorating around 1:30 in the afternoon and that pretty much consumed the entire day. By the time the party started at 6, the place looked great. On top of all the creative props she designed, her outfit was even better. While scrounging the thrift stores she came up with a number of different pieces for her costume that when put all together made her look like Kiera Nightly out of Pirates of the Caribbean. The boys looked fantastic as well with the oldest one apparently winning the prize for the best costume, all decked out with a ruffle shirt and a green velvet jacket on loan from Grandma, only to have it taken away and given to someone else when they realized he was the son of a member of the dance committee. I guess they thought it wouldn’t look good. For most of the evening Mark (our friend) and I were on pizza delivery duty. We made three trips back and forth to the restaurant to pick up 20 pizzas each time for the dance. I couldn’t believe we went through 60 pizzas! I think we went through so much this year because it was free. Anyhow it was a great success and the party ended promptly at 8. After clean up we were home by 9.
Today we have soccer at 1:40 and before that I need to get the boys updated passport photos for our appointment Monday morning. There’s also a 1800’s southwestern fair out at a restaurant called The Fort which we’re going to try to hit this morning. Tomorrow we have the Farmers 5000 in the morning ( a 5K race the boys run every year) and then the football game in the afternoon. On top of that Tasha arrives from Hawaii this morning and I think we’re all having a big bbq at Uncle T and Aunt B’s tomorrow after the game tomorrow. Looks like we’ll be on the go until tomorrow night.
It’s now 6:30 and everyone is still sleeping. I’m on my second cup of coffee and am getting ready to read the paper. No politics today, there’s enough of it on the news. Anyone watching this Solyndra thing, looks pretty fishy. Hope everyone has a great weekend and is doing well. We’re loving the cool weather but it’s still in the low 80’s. You can see snow on top of the mountains so we know it’s coming. Take care and give us a call (especially those of you in California) to say hi!
See you tomorrow,
