| | Sorry, been lazy and busy to update the blog. Let's see.....Um, finally got to take the kids to Discovery Kingdom on 9/15. We meet my friend J and Ava around 11 am at the front gate. I took Matthew on the "serpent" roller coaster ride and he liked it. We saw Shuca and the rest of the time was spent riding kiddie rides. The kids each won a prize from the "guess your age" game. All 3 times, the guy was off on our ages! J left about 5 ish and we stayed until the park closed!! We rode the rides in Thomasville a few times and someof the other rides in the kiddie area before heading home. None of the kids napped and were out as soon as we started the car. Thanks to J for his complimentary tickets!
The following weeked 9/22 was Miss Ava's 4th birthday party. It was held at Club Libby Lu located at Stoneridege Mall. OMG!!!! they went all out. The girls got to pick out their dress up outfits, choose a hairstyle (4 options), get their makeup done and nails painted and pick 5 items for their goody bags!! Afterwards, the girls did a fashion show!! They all looked so cute! After their "make-overs," we headed out to McDonalds for lunch and cupcakes. Prior to attending the birthday party, we learned that my mother in law was in the hospital with a fever and a swollen hand. Brother in law #3 took her into the ER and had x-rays done and found no broken bones. We went into the City to visit her at the hospital. Parking was a BITCH!! It was the weekend of the Autumn Moon Festival and it took us almost an hour before we found a space! We were there for a couple of hours before heading home.
Last weekend, October 6th a few friends and us threw a baby shower for our good friends Spence and Michelle. It was a good turn out and the theme was high noon tea. OMG, Evain and Eveen did an excellent job with the finger sandwiches and the desserts! Thanks for posting the recipe for the scones! I'm not much of a baker but I'm excited to try new recipes. (I'll have to let you know how it turns out! lol) I think everyone enjoyed themselves. Since we missed the last COF event in July, it had been a while since we saw our close friends! We were so happy just to get together and just catch up! Our next COF event is the big Halloween party. We are looking forward to dressing up! I'm way behind on putting the goody bags together!! I just ordered the stuff last week...... Some for Matthew's class, for Lauren's class, COF and the kids on our block!
Last night, we had dinner with Spence,Michelle, Cathy, Steve and all the kiddies at South Seas Pearl Seafood Restaurant just down the street from us. It was a delicious meal! Spence and Michelle ended paying for it! (after Michelle called me and told me since it was a large group, we'll all split it!) Thanks for the yummo dinner!  Afterwards, we went over to Spence and Michelle's place to hang out. It was close to 1:00 a.m. before we left. Matthew and Lauren were really cranky not to mention that I was cranky too! (sorry for being a "hot" head!!)
Same ol, same ol at work. Busy as usual and I just finished coordinating our quarterly department potluck last Thursday. Overall it went well. The VP of Pharmacy Operations was in our pod and had 3 servings of my curry chicken.... I was ecstatic!! Thanks to all who participated! Afterwards, I met up with my childhood friend L and now co-worker for drinks downtown at Stanfords. I was also able to get some shopping done. Matthew has a birthday party Sunday 10/14. Thanks to hubby who picked up Lauren from school and took care of the kiddies for a couple of hours. (but then again, he owes me.....he goes out with his co-workers on occassion too for a drink or two)
