Ladies Night Out

Yes, Fridays are made for pizza and games at our house...but THIS Friday was Ladies Night Out.  This was planned as a joint event between MTOC and PWOC. 
 

It really was sad many who RSVP'd were unable to make it....sad for us and for the waiter who had come in just to wait on our table. He was fantastic! We were outside on the patio and it was perfect. The heaters kept us warm, we were secluded and  able to talk and laugh without others hearing, and we escaped the NOISE and chaos that seems to characterize PF Changs on a Friday night. LOL 
 
Maria checks to see if we need to wait for any others
 
Happy to have Steph's mom, Candy,  join us tonight! It makes me sad to think of Steph moving in December...but HAWAII! WOW.

Cynthia, Hope, Maria, Me
 Tonight was Hope's birthday -  it was a fun to celebrate with her. Our waiter  sang to her in Chinese. ::grin::
 
I DID miss Friday at home.....but it WAS really nice to spend a couple of hours with friends, laughing and deepening our relationships.

FRIDAY - School and Tea

We work to have Friday's be a "light" school day - often a finish up day. However, with the exercise, MTOC, PWOC, an "interview" for Arielle, hair-cuts,  and other family events this week - we needed Friday to be a full day of school. The kids KNEW this.

I got out of the shower ready to tackle the day and saw this......what could it be?
 
School always goes better in a fort

I picked up some Tazo Decaf Chai tea SOMEWHERE around here. I was sure it was local. I have looked all over and cannot find it again. I finally realized it would be much quicker to simply order a box at Amazon.  Ah - surprised by "one click" again. ::snort:: I checked the photo carefully - didn't catch the price or I would have suspected that I was going to receive more than one box. I'm well stocked for the fall/winter.....and will take some to PWOC. My search is over.
