Catching up



We are blissfully boring over here right now so I haven't had much to blog about.  Well, not really boring.  Both Glenn and I are swamped with work, Will is playing basketball on Saturdays, Reina has her dance class and there aren't many lazy days in between.  But I guess we wouldn't have it any other way?  Reina did tell me last week that she didn't to go to dance class anymore because she had learned everything.  Five weeks in a pre-dance class and she's an expert ballerina.  That bodes well for the future. 

 

Will's birthday is just around the corner and I'm in the midst of planning a Star Wars extravagana for fourteen first-graders.  Will wanted me to put on the invitation that guests were asked to arrive in all white - all the better to portray Jedi's and Clone Troopers - but I thought that dress code was a bit restrictive.  

 

Speaking of birthdays, Aunt Vicky sent me a few pictures from Reina's extravanganza and I have to put them on here - when was the last time there were at least three Pauleys in the same picture?  And look at the birthday girl's face.   

 

Would Madame like a selection of fromage to go with her tea? 

I think my Grandma would approve of her blue dishes being used for such a lively group.

Glenn went goose hunting this weekend so the kids and I were on our own.  The three of us went to a high school basketball game on Friday night to cheer on a friend's son. That night, Will woke me up  with a fever and general malaise.  He missed his basketball game but we did run a few quick errands, mostly because the amount of edible food in the house was shockingly low.  And by 'edible' I mean that we had no milk and a scarcity of snacks approved by Reina.  The rest of the weekend involved some housework, laundry, lots of couch snuggling and more animated movies than I care to admit.   Will is feeling better today and fingers crossed we all make it through the week without having to use sick leave.
