Happy Friday!! We are going to a friend's house to swim and eat lunch today. When we are done with that, since we will already be in the city, we are going to where dh is working. He is on a really cool project for work and he wants us to come and see. He works for a major electrical contractor. This contractor has an "in=house" contract with Rockwell Automation. There is a new Discovery World museum being built here for kids, and Rockwell is donating an exhibit. The cool thing is, dh has helped build it and set it up. It is not often, being an electrician, that he gets a cool opportunity like this. He has been sooooo excited about it. When he found out we were going to be close by today, at our friend's, he asked us to stop by. The girls are very excited.

At 6:30, Katie has a friend coming over to spend the night. DH has to work again tomorrow, so its just me and the girlie whirlies. We are going to my sister's to swim and visit.

Hugs,
Wendy

Coffee BREAD? Yummy? How about Coffee CAKE, LOL!

I'm tying up loose ends (on the phone) for my SIL's surprise baby shower tomorrow. I'm hosting it. I have to pick up the cake today with all 4 kids in tow, which should be kind of like running a marathon, or doing heavy duty gymnastics. I am seriously tempted to invest in some kiddie leashes, but just can't bring myself to be that animalistic.

I also have to clean the house (at least the main level and basement) for the party tomorrow, and sweep the back porch. I noticed some spiderwebs in the corner of the porch behind the table. Skeeved me out!! I'm leaving those for Michael, as well as the bathrooms. He gets the lovely fun job of cleaning the bathrooms for me tonight. I'm sure he'll be excited beyond words.

We're going to head out and have lunch with him at the hospital. This is also not an easy task with the 4 kids, but I'm being nice and doing it because he wants us to so much. I love seeing him, but always have to wait a while because he's with patients, and trying to keep the kids from touching anything is not easy. Just taking 4 kids ANYWHERE is not easy. Have I said that before? LOL!! So we'll have yummy delicious hospital cafeteria food for lunch today. And Michael promised Justin and Matthew that he would take them up and show them the trauma helipad, as long as no helicopters are coming in, so they're extremely excited about that.

Rose, I hope you have a wonderful trip. We're leaving Tuesday for the mountains, too, but it's with the kids, so not a romantic get-away. It will be fun anyway.

Have a good day everyone! I'll check back this afternoon :)

Sofia

We had some fun today but it was productive as well! This morning I had to get started on the mountain of laundry that has accrued since we had our AC probs. (too hot to do) We then stopped to go meet some friends at McD's for lunch.
