The Haps

So now that we’re back from camping, what is going on this week? Plenty.

• We went to see Cars 2 with some friends last night. We’d already seen it in Nashville but Ben was on a tear that day and Matt and I both missed a few scenes taking him to the hall. He did much better this time, but still didn’t really want to sit still. $2 movies are great for that though. It’s all families and pretty loosey goosey.
• We probably should have stayed at home though because our cleaning people come today and we needed to get the house picked up … so Matt and I stayed up too late last night cleaning.
• But I’m super glad the house is going to be cleaned because I’m hosting Bunco on Thrusday. We are having quiche made by the fine folks at Costco (or one of their suppliers) and a lovely salad (made by me). Maybe some bread if it works out. I will also be making the most excellent peach crumb bars for dessert. Swoon.
• The kids were supposed to start tumbling classes tonight, but we’ve decided to skip their first one in favor of going to a going-away party for my cousin and his girlfriend who leave for a semester abroad at the end of this week. Should be fun!
• Tomorrow is our 9 year (WOW) anniversary. We have nothing planned. We were going to go away to Vail for a weekend, but we haven’t found a weekend that works yet. Maybe October?
• Friday I’m hoping to go visit a good friend of mine who just had a baby. I want to bring her a little something and a meal for the freezer. I’m thinking I may do Mexican Chicken Casserole for the meal, but not sure what to get the little guy for a present (or his big brother). Hopefully something will come to me.
• This weekend is booked up too. Saturday we’re getting together with our cousins for some shopping and a movie.
• Saturday afternoon/night Matt and I are hanging out solo while the kids visit my parents.
• We can’t stay up late though because we’re running the Heart and Sole Half Marathon on Sunday Morning. I’m not looking forward to this … I haven’t run more than 8 miles since May and it is going to be HOT.
• We are also supposed to borrow a pressure-washer this weekend and work on some of the nastier bits of our house … i.e. anything the kids touch. Not sure we’re going to have time for it, but I’d love to get that done.

What’re you up to?
