Which, of course, you all know I am not. And, lest you think, based on my last post, that this week was all work, I wanted to share some of the "play:"
*Took quite possibly the most hilarious walk ever. Grown-up pushing stroller, pushing tricycle. Hilarious.
*Had lunch with an old college friend that I haven't seen in ages and her two sweet kids, with the promise of doing it again soon and often, since they live not very far from us at all.
*Attended the weekly story time at Barnes & Noble, followed by the purchase of a beautiful book about elephants for my safari room off the discount shelf and a delightful lunch with my kiddos in the mall's food court.
*Spent the day out with just Max, running errands and bonding over ice cream, while a wonderful young lady and good friend watched the big kids for me.
*Laughed out loud on several occasions at my hysterical children.
*Watched Ruth and Max do a rousing performance of "fancy footwork".
*Heard Weston tell something like a hundred "knock-knock" jokes, each one funnier than the last.
*Had a lovely lunch with a new friend, two of her beautiful daughters and my two big kids. We simply cannot wait for the opportunity to do it again.
*Had shrimp for two meals in one day.
*Celebrated an early half-birthday for Max at one of our favorite places. Sharky's is right on Lake Houston, and we got to sit outside--on the shady side. And, there was a nice breeze blowing. The food is excellent, and there is a dancing fountain right outside to play in before and after dinner.
*Rejoiced in the glowing report we got back from the standardized test Ruth took back in the Spring. The short of it is that she made about a 95 and was well above average for most of the content.
