OK we spared you the confetti.  Or I should say I did.  Gregg wanted payback!  I hope you and your family celebrated nicely.  Expect your presents Friday night when we get to celebrate with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had another nice weekend.  We had our second family fun day on Sunday.  We hit the Original Pancake house.  My kids eat like crazy there.  Noah ate 5 chicken nuggets before we left and ate 3 buttermilk pancakes when we got there.  Then we went for a nice ride to south Austin and look at the neighborhood Travis Heights.  When we roginally moved here the concierge at the hotel tried to convince us to move there.  So we went to see what it was like.  It was very cute.  It reminded me of a mixture of Royal Oak Craftsman type homes with the Ann Arbor(green living) feel and the colors of Key West.  Very cute.  We stopped in a neighborhood park and talked with the locals while the kids played.  It reminded me so much of Michigan.  The odd thing is for how much it cost to live plus the high taxes they pay it is like living in Birmingham/GP and having Detroit schools.  Everyone pays high taxes and sends their kids to private schools or specialty schools.  It was cute, out of our price range and seemed hardly worth it.  We luckily avoided the candy store again even though Cooper picked it out amongst the many colorful storefronts.  Then we went home and I attended Jamie’s baby shower.  She received many nice gifts for Keegan.  Congrats again.  It won’t be long now.

Now we are off to another great week.  Noah had a play date last week with a fellow kindergartner and now Cooper has a play date with one of his classmates.  It is so cute seeing them get so excited about their play dates.

OMG I don’t know if I ever mentioned about getting my eyebrows done when I had my hair cut.  I know it’s not that exciting to write or read about.  BUT I had them threaded.  I didn’t know what that meant but I figured since my hair is so short I should do it.  I mentioned many time that I was a complete wuss when it came to waxing.  I didn’t know what I was in store for.  She pulled out this piece of floss thing and i thought ……OK.  I still don’t know what she did with that thread but my palms were sweating and I was in serious pain.  I guess it is good because people tell me I won’t have to do it for a while since it pulls out the roots but it was a much longer and slower process than the painful wax.  Again I am a wuss so I don’t think I will be doing that again.  There is a nail salon here now that has those fishy things.  You know the fish that eat your dead skin away as a pedicure.  GROSS!!!!!!!  Perhaps it is a Michigan thing.  But I always feared and hated when the fish in the lake would nibble on a freckle.  THe thought of paying $75 or whatever it is to have fish do that to you on purpose grosses me out.  I know I would squeal and wiggle and probably step and kill many fish.  I’m staying out of that pond!

Well tme for bed and Heroes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
