I spend the day working on brain cancer walk action items. The walk is in 3 weeks and it's time to pull all the million little details together...hopefully without pulling out my own hair at the same time!
On Friday I skipped out of work early (on what was a BEAUTIFUL summer day) and we took the kids out. Aaron took Adam to the SciFi Museum to see the Avatar exhibit. Oh the fun! At least they say so. Hannah and I got "celebrity inspired braids" and then went school shopping. Hannah could not stopping looking at her braid in the mirrors while we walk or her reflection in the windows. It was super-cute to watch her watching herself. She did look fabulous. I can't blame her! I'm sure the fellas thought that was just about as much fun as we thought Avatar would be. Afterwards, we gave the kids back and went to dinner and a movie. We haven't went out downtown in FOREVER and we had a great time.
Saturday came and reality set in as we (and by "we" I mostly mean "Aaron") stained the deck for the THIRD time. Holy Cows! We thought this would be a super-easy project. WRONG! Turns out deck staining is a pain-staking ordeal. I'm ready to take bids on the last two sides of the studio and just get it all done, but we'll see if we forget the pain and just dive into the last two walls or not.
This is the new Cinnamon stick plant that Aaron's mom gave us. We had no idea it would bloom. It's a very cool and exotic looking plant. We love it!
Last night we had Aaron's college friends over, Ben and Karen. We had grilled veggie sandwich, beat salad, and corn on the cob. It was a summer tour de force. One word: YUMMY! Karen brought homemade brownies for first dessert...that were KILLER GOOD! And I made my first ever "galette". Turns out it was super easy with spectacular results. WE topped it off with homemade peach ice cream. Let me hear you say it: YUUUUMY!
