Oh What a Week!

Well so much for a quiet week sans M- (at camp)... My grand plans of getting caught up and finding time to relax didn't exactly go as planned.  Maybe getting a lot done and relaxing don't exactly go in the the same sentence and that was the problem?  Nonetheless, as always it was a fun week.

In addition to our zoo day, I subjected E- to one of my fave 90's movies - "That Thing You Do" (such a happy movie and really catchy tune!). She liked it.  And, we all got to go see "Les Mis"!  Took E's friend since M- was away.  Such fun and the ABQ Little Theatre is very sweet.  The girls loved it - hubby endured it!

Hubby and I did get away for an evening out at the Prairie Star - yummy!  Check out the view through my artsy photo!  Funny thing is that we actually have a view similar out our back porch:)

Not only did we indulge in dessert, but we tried a flight of grappo?!  We'd never heard of it, but basically it is a very strong 80 proof liquor made from the remnants of wine grapes.  Yikes!  Won't be doing that again.

We picked M- up from Brownsea scout camp today.  He was gone all week - I was missing him after day 1!  Oh boy did he have fun!  Got elected by all the boys to be SPL (Senior Patrol Leader) which put him in charge of about 70 kids for the week.  He led the closing ceremony this morning which was very cool to see.  All that public speaking through the years with our homeschool group paid off:)  He looks tired, tan, and skinny!  Apparently the food lacked a lot as he said he basically ate salad at every meal and that was about it.  Must have been bad as he never eats salad!  

I'm glad he's home:)

One more week and he is off to the next summer camp - this one in California!
