Early Release = Playtime





The girls have had early release from school for the past 3 days due to parent/ teacher conferences so I took the afternoon off of work to hang out with them. We walked to the Basketball court down the road so the girls could shoot some hoops while I tossed the rope toy for Zeus to fetch. We are looking forward to a low key weekend of family time.
Speaking of conferences, We met with the girls teachers yesterday to discuss their progress with the curriculum this year. Both of the girls received outstanding reviews and are considered a treat to have in their respective classrooms. They both received 4's & 3's (A's and B's) on their progress reports in all subjects. We are so proud of the girls that they are maturing into.
As a reward for their good grades, we are planning a trip to Polka Dot Pottery tomorrow to select a ceramic object of their choice to paint then stop off at the new Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory that opened down the road for some sweet treats.

High School Musical 3

While Dave was in Chicago this week, the girls and I took advantage of the time together for a GNO. Friday night we went to dinner at Aztec then enjoyed High School Musical 3 on the big screen along with hundreds of other tweenage girls. It was a great movie so when I saw may girlfriend Jamie's blog tonight I found my way to this site that allows you to embed personal photos into a variety of scenes. The girls thought that it was awesome!! Enjoy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAVE!

The girls and I just wanted to wish Dave a very Happy Birthday. Unfortunately Dave is spending the day at a National Clinical Specialist meeting in Chicago with ~500 colleagues. We did however get the opportunity to celebrate before he left with some gifts and chocolate cake. Too bad he had to leave the leftover cake here, I am afraid there will not be any left for him when he returns :)

Mmm...chocolate cake :)
