I normally get things posted on the right day. Her Birthday was yesterday. She had an exam, lab test and skills test. I probably got that wrong but suffice it to say she had a stressful day for her Birthday.
We picked her and Lili up and went for dinner. Our plan was Montanas but they couldn't seat us in a seemingly empty restaurant. We're assuming they were short staffed. They did offer us a high stool table but I could picture Eric having to lift the boys up and then sitting and waiting for one or both to fall off. They don't have core balance. So we went to Driftwood for Chinese buffet instead. It's just sad how expensive eating out has become. The value for what we got just wasn't there. Mediocre at best. I didn't enjoy the meal and it's unlikely we'll go back. It was nice to sit with family and visit in a relaxed state. Eric put a new muffler on her car as her gift, which isn't very fun, so I filled her a giftbag with little things and snacks.
Then we went to friends with an ice cream cake and a little visit. It was a late night for us on a weeknight ;) Luk stayed home yesterday because his class went skating and again, no core balance so skating is super scary for him. He was able to do his flush in the afternoon so we could be out late.
We stopped at Value Village before getting the girls. The prices are stupid in there. I wanted jogging runners with grip on the bottom for the boys for our hike on spring break. We did find some for both boys. Eric found a couple nice camping chairs there too so that was a score. I'm afraid of the little hiking chair so the new one for me is a lounger that will fit in the Cheese storage bin.
We've been so busy that we are going day by day. Kai let us know last night that they have 4 days off school. I had to look it up
on the drive home. He was
right. Pro D day on Friday and Family day on Monday.
We don't have a plan for the weekend yet. Lili
is on reading break so she is coming home for a few days. Luk is suggesting an adventure day. Which we haven't done in forever. So that's a possibility. What
Luk doesn't know is that it appeared to be all surprise happenings but really Eric and I quietly had a bit of a plan for the day or at least a destination.
