Alex & Campbell are excited about going back to Spicewood Country School too. One of Campbell's classmates is having a get-together on Friday this week, so it will be fun to see her friends and some of Alex's too. School starts September 4 for them. Still a little juggling ahead as far as work and no babysitter for the next couple of weeks. We'll make it.
Sarah is still in the hospital. Skin grafts were done on Friday. We'll know if they took possibly tomorrow, but definitely on Wednesday. We are still hoping that she will come to Austin and stay with us for awhile to recover.
So what have we been up too since the cousins left?
I hosted my wonderful bunko friends on Wednesday night. I love that we call it bunko but we haven't played since January. Our groups new years resolution was to play bunko in '09. Oh well. I love these ladies and am so thankful for them. I served 7-layer dip with chips and a southwestern dip with all sorts of delicious veggies for appetizers. The HEB lady talked me into a big bottle of Lambrusco. Yum-O. It was like Sangria and as Peter said, "it goes down easy and the next thing you know, someone is dancing on the couch. "
For the meal, I made watermelon-strawberry soup, crab quiche and spinach-artichoke quiche. Everyone seemed to enjoy it all which makes me happy because I'm pretty sure I am not the most wonderful cook in the group. It was Kathleen's birthday, so we had a great chocolate cake with homemade (by my sis) icing. It was a hit!
Grandma came to town and saved the day by watching the kids on Thursday, so I could drive to San Antonio and do some presentations for work. Thanks Grandma.
Friday morning Conleigh & I did a little school shopping. She picked out a new backpack with Tinkerbell and her fairy friends, and we bought a couple of cute outfits to start the year. Peter left for Houston that afternoon and has been there with his mom for the weekend. The kids and I went & chose a birthday present for a party this weekend and then stopped at Conleigh's fave ice cream joint, Zeros on the way home.
Saturday we had a quiet morning & then made a road trip to South Austin to visit my manager and her new twin girls. Campbell loved seeing the babies and even held the bottle to help feed them.
After that jaunt, we headed to the pool. Conleigh then spent the night with her friend and Campbell & Alex and I watched The Tortoise and the Hare movie. A thrill a minute, I tell ya.
