It's not even Wednesday yet!

So, it's not even Wednesday yet and my calendar has been minute by minute full and over flowing! But we are having lots of fun, doing great things, spending time with family and friends, and exploring new adventures. I just finished sewing 24 gogo boot covers,12 vests, and 24 hats for the next show "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat" and also finished reading "The Well Trained Mind". So, I am getting a little of my projects completed as well as the girls list. :0)
We got a much needed day with Tom's family! We had 9 of them up here and we spent the day together on Saturday. We had a nice BBQ and went to the car show at Tsunami on the square and then back to the house for lots of play time with the kids and yummy dessert. My nephews are getting so big and so darn cute! Great family time! I wish they would all move up here and we could see them more!
The girls are taking a art class with about 50 kids on Mondays for an hour and a half. They studied Egypt this Monday and loved the exhibit along with being able to rap up the mummy. Over dinner Kayla told Tom and I all about how the Egyptians pulled the brain out threw the nose and how they took out the body parts and left the heart. She wants to go visit Egypt one day.
The girls have never played Tennis before so I decided to have them try out a class this week. Both girls are enjoying it and may get their own racquet's one day soon.

Today we got to spend some volunteer time at the Heritage Park Zoo in the garden. A friend of mine came up with the wonderful idea of creating a garden to grow vegetables and feeding the zoo animals from it and having a "Garden Club" of volunteers maintain it. Today, we brought some friends with us and we got to clear out and make a path from the main walkway to the garden area and also move dirt and create a rock drain for the one low corner.
The is a great community service project for the kids and the animals will love their fresh food taken right from their own garden.
Now, I must finish the rest of my week with 2 birthday parties, lunch at a friends house, helping a friend with her garage sale and watch the celtic dancers at the library.
Whew! I need a nap x 5!
