Weekend Update

Campbell's night cap!

We had a great busy weekend.

Friday night Peter and I had a date! It was really nice to be able to talk about stuff and finish the topic before moving on. We went and ordered a new cell phone for me. I'm moving to the new century and I'm going to get an Iphone.
After that, we went to our favorite place for sushi and taiwanese hot and sour soup. The place is Chinatown, and the restaurant on the first floor, Moshushinu is actually the more popular restaurant, but we like the 2nd floor spot.
Meanwhile, the kids were at Parents Night Out at Cheer Station. This place is where the girls go for gymnastics. They have PNO each month from 6:30-11:00pm. We have never done it before, but the children had a blast.  We picked them up about 10:00. They had just begun a movie and were still sweaty from playing for three hours straight.  $40 total for all three cannot be beat!

Saturday was rainy and soccer was cancelled again. We took it easy in the morning and went to Luby's for lunch. Kids eat free on Saturdays!  Then Alex and Campbell had playtime with a brother and sister duo. Conleigh was content to play Animal Jam on the computer. She is truly addicted to it.
Impromptu, we invited Sadie and Garrett's parents over for potluck dinner, so the playtime continued and the adults had awesome queso and smoked chicken salad for dinner. It was great conversation.  Sadie and Campbell have become close friends. Alex and Garrett are on the same soccer team and Garrett's dad co-coaches with Peter.  Even with dinner company, we managed to get the kids into bed by 8:45.

This morning we went to church and then came home to get ready for the first Broadway Across America show of the season, Rock of Ages. We were invited by the parents of Campbell's friend, Jessie.  Jessie and Campbell stayed here with a babysitter. Alex went to flag football with a buddy and Conleigh spent the afternoon at a new friends house.

The Long Center with downtown Austin backdrop.

Rock of Ages rocked. It was a story that used all sorts of 80s rock music to tell the story. I very much enjoyed it.
This evening we had been invited to dinner at Conleigh's new friends house. Her friend Sara moved here from Wisconsin and it turns out her mom and I are in the same type of business. They have a pool and our crazy kids were swimming in the cool/coldish water.  Pork loin, corn on the cob, salad and rice with brownies for dessert. Great conversation and a good end to the busy weekend.

That concludes this Weekend Update.
