i apologize...

it's been over a week. i will try not to let that happen. i have been a little under the weather and a little busy. i have my christmas party tonight at the 5-7 grill at minute maid. i will let you know how that goes. i have to go find some sort of sweater to wear with my dress. it's cold out there you know.

Overalls

I have made several Fightin' Texas Aggie overalls over the years. This will be Walker's very first pair! He is so passionate about "the Gig'em Aggies"... it is so precious. With the recent remebrance of the bonfire, my sister talked to them about what happened and they just shed tears for those Aggies that died. It is a part of them.. already. I love that!

Here are the overalls...

Brooke's Dance Weekend...

I was invited by my sister to attend Brooke's very first Dance Convention. Basically the girls take classes all day while the moms shop for dance clothes and have lunch/dinner and then there is a "show" and dance Saturday night. This theme was D'Masquerade.

I got to the Marriout and first thing we did was go to lunch at Benihanas! Yum!

We were ready for the party!!!!

This is a little snap shot of one of the tap classes... It almost drove me out of my mind... :)

The cool thing at Convention is to get your shoes signed by the instructors... you know Brooke was all over that!!!

Brooke was ready to go home...these poor babies were so exhausted! It was a fun girls weekend!

Happy Birthday Dad!

We went to Gabby's for Dad's 58th birthday. It was a good time. Karen and Mac were there. Afterwards, we went to the house for chocolate cake.

Being Aunt Megs

Today when I got home from work, I went to pick up Brooke and Walker because Macy had some haircuts to do and needed them gone. I offered them Chuck E Cheese, they wanted McDonalds... The only reason is because Macy NEVER takes them to McDonalds. Well, I wouldn't say NEVER, but rarely might be the right answer. If you know her, you know they go to Chick-fil-a. Don't get me wrong, I love that place and would take it anyday. Pasadena just recently tore down and existing McDonalds [down the street from Chick-fil-a] and built a BRAND NEW one. The building is pretty. The employees are pretty stupid.

The playground is awesome.. so the kids say. We got there about 4pm. I let the kids go straight to the playroom... cause that's what aunts do. So about 4:45, Walker got hungry... then Brooke. They had just discovered the video game center in the middle of the playroom. It's the "G" version of the games at the BARS... with photo hunt and everything!!! Anyways.. so I go get the kids happy meals.

What I order...

One Boy toy

One Girl toy

4 nuggets

1 plain hamburger

What I get...

Two boy toys

4 nuggets

1 cheeseburger

It was so ridiculous.... I might not go back there. I saw a lady take the wrong tray, sit at her table and open the nuggets, return the tray to the counter [without the workers seeing] because they allow another lady [who didn't see all this] take the tray to her table after they continue to fill it with miscellaneous food for her 4 non-english speaking children. OH WELL....

They had lots of fun running and screaming and meeting new friends and reuniting with old ones.

6pm. Let's head home. We get to their house... both start whining because they thought we were going to my house.... nope. The joys of being an Aunt... I get to take you back home!!

Also... if you notice in the picture, they are dressed up in their Aggie gear... because according to Walker "12 aggies died today" Bonfire 11/18/99 Remember the Fallen.

I love you Brooke and Walker!

family night at chickfila

tuesday nights are family nights at chickfila. tonight there was a clown painting faces and making balloon animals... brooke, sassy and walker had a blast... the grown-ups got to chat in private. it was enjoyable. walker in his sweet charming way sweet talked someone into making him a shake.... seriously.... this little zombie is foaming at the mouth!!!

Charlie.

I gave one of my dogs away to one of my students. She really fell in love with Charlie girl, so I let her have her. She is in a good place. She has a backyard to run around in and Courtney is taking good care of her. In fact, Courtney couldn't wait to get home from school and play with her today!!

Here is a picture in a new sweater that she got. She loves being pampered. What a lucky dog.
