On Thursday Larissa participated in the schools' Talent Show. We got there at 6pm for the 6:30pm show and got the best seats in the house. Just as we settled in, I realized that my new camera was missing a memory card! Good thing we are only 5 minutes from home. I had to forfeit my great parking spot for the sake of taking pictures.
Larissa performed in a group dance first. Then, she sang with the school's choir. She requested that we would videotape the whole concert, so that she could see it too. Wouldn't you know it, just as her choir group came on stage, my video camera run out of memory! If it's not one thing, it's another.
Meanwhile, I was trying to get familiar with my new camera's functionality (in the dark). Probably something I should have done ahead, huh?..
On Friday we were going to go to another Liberty lacrosse game, but it was such a long week, that neither Tim or I had the energy to sit through another game. Plus, weather was actually so nice that we just wanted to "chill out" at home.
We decided to try a new restaurant take out for dinner. There is a small Vietnamese house we often drive past. Sadly, we got there right at 7pm, which happens to be their closing time (Ok, what eating place closes at 7 on a Friday?..), so after much consideration, we got Ceaser's Pizza instead. So much for trying something new!
Saturday turned out just perfect! Sunny, warm. Gabe played his first game where he wore shorts and was comfortable. He is not the greatest player, but it seems a little unfair that his coach gives him so little chance to try. Seems like he got the "good" players on the field for most of the game, and when he knows that our score is far ahead where we won't lose, he lets the "second class" players get on the field too.
After the game kids enjoyed spending time with their friends, playing games. Meanwhile, Tim, Larissa and I went to the Adidas Employee store to use our 50% Intel discount. I got myself some new running shoes and a backpack at an unbeatable discount. Larissa got shoes and a hoodie too.
Found a used child size Wave Stick on Craigslist (more of Jon's size), bought it, and kids enjoyed learning a new skill:
Sunday started off sunny, but then it drizzled on and off all afternoon. I managed to do some yard work, and made Larissa help me. She wasn't too happy about it, but got over it pretty fast.
Funny thing.
We did an Easter Egg Hunt at the house. I placed eggs (filled with prizes and candies) all over the first floor. What I didn't realize it that I had some cookie ingredients set out too. Without thinking, Jon grabbed a raw egg off the counter, believing he found a hidden one. Two seconds later he figure out his mistake and put it back on the counter, but didn't make sure it was secured. Of course, it rolled off the counter and broke! I am just glad he didn't place it in his bag with the rest of the plastic eggs!
