This past week was Madeline's last full week of school. Thank heaven's! I'm ready for a break from the daily routine as much as the kids are. Last week I chaperoned her classes trip to the Stockton Children's Museum. We had lots of fun, even though it's not a very nice Children's Museum compared to the one in San Jose and Chesepeake, Va. To make matters worse we didn't even have a charter bus, we had to ride in a non-air conditioned yellow school bus.
As Brie mentioned we spent several days over at our friends house having pool parties with a few other families we are friends with. Unfortuantely, Keegan got an eye infection as did our friend's daughter so now I have to administer antibiotics to his eyes twice a day. It then spread to Maddy then lastly to Sebastian. Luckily there was enough antibiotics to go around.
6/29 - Brie went in early to work today so she could come home early and we could continue our tradition of seeing Pixar's newest movie opening day. Ratatouille was a fantastic movie. I like it far better than Cars which I feel has some really lagging moments. It was another Brad Bird feature, he is the guy behind Iron Giant and, of course, The Incredibles, which is probably my favourite Pixar film outside the original Toy Story. This was also a mjor milestone as it was the first movie we didn't have to coerce Keegan into seeing, he was actually excited to go and told me repeatedly during the movie that he really liked it.
6/30 - We went to another friend's house this weekend. Their son was turning one and their middle child 4. We had a great time though we were the only non-spanish speaking family there so we felt a little out of place here and there. Our friend's are from Peru and we were given the chance to try Peruvian food. They made 2 dishes one was a pork and potato kind of stew that was served over rice and it was delicious. The second dish was a chicken dish that is served over potatoes. Though I liked the flavor (it had peanut butter in it) the texture made me a little uneasy. It was thick and creamy. Thick and Creamy when it comes to chicken .. hmm maybe if it was a little hotter when I sat down to eat it would have been ok.
7/1 - Went to Fresno today to pick-up some bedroom furniture. Ultimately we will put this new furniture in Maddy's room then put the stuff in Maddy's room down in my Mom's since she laready has the headboard. We got to see Brian and Danelle's new home and it is gorgeous. There is a 33k sq ft home across the street for sale, if only Brie and I could afford that I'd move to Fresno in a heartbeat. I really am beginning to worry that Brie and I will never get a second chance at owning our own home.
Other than that the last couple of weeks have been filled with Brie playing City of Heroes with me and my friends Dave and Deb who live in Florida. She got addicted to it pretty muc instantly and is now showing all teh symptoms I did when i first started playing (putting playing before sleep, dreaming in game context scenarios, looking for time to play when you shouldn't be). I actually haven't been playing with her a lot, I'm really good
I am so looking forward to this week, Brie works Monday, then from home on Tuesday, then she is off the rest of the week. I am so much happier when she is around. I know it may seem odd but after nearly 21 year together I still love being with more than anything else I do. Just having her in the house makes me feel happier. Only thing that would make me happier if that time was spent naked and in the throws of passion more often. Oh well, one can wish!
