Productivity and fun mix well.......

Wow...what a productive weekend and we had fun too! Bills are paid, laundry is done, house is clean, grocery shopping is done. I can hardly believe it. A week and a half away from vacation and I can hardly wait.

Friday night there was no Papa Joe's. Instead we took our show on the road as we are having a summer dinner party once a month at each others houses. Our first dinner night was an Italian theme and boy was it fabulous. Our friends Joe and Judy hosted and it was impressive......so here we go:

Lining up for dinner:

I made this sangria. Looks good, however, I did not like it at all:




This was pretty good:

Oh, it was Joe's birthday:

Great night, great friends, good times. Saturday was a birthday party for "baby Brooke" . This is our friends Ward and Georgia's beautiful awesome little girl. It was at a local park and it was a nature theme. Here we are headed off for the nature walk:

Back home and off to Disney for the evening with my sister, husband, her in laws and my nieces and nephews:

Look carefully or double click on this photo to enlarge it. You will see Chris and Gavin. Gavin's little eye are peeking through at me. This is them loading up at the Mickey's Little 500 ride. Gavin loved it!

Waiting for the fireworks:

Look at the castle at night! Gavin calls it "Mickey Mouse's House". We go with it since he does not even know who Cinderella is:

My sister and I waiting for the parade:

And some parade shots:

We stayed at Disney until 11:30 at night when they closed. We have never done that before! It was so much fun. Chris is still talking about how much fun it was today. I was just amazed at how busy it was that late! Today was major catch up and off we go in to the week that will lead us in to a 3 day weekend. Then I will go back to work for 1 day and be up north for 10 days. Yeah........

On another note, Chris got STRAIGHT A's and can't wait to start school again in the fall. I am so proud of him!

everyone have a great week!
