Weekend Roundup

Lots going on these past couple of days.  Mainly, time with my family and also Ted's birthday.

Ok, so I played this awesome trick on Ted. It was well established that we already had tickets to a Giants game this weekend.  But I also knew that he really really wanted to see Rush play when they came through town in June.  I got the Rush tickets in secret, and created an envelope that lead him to believe the baseball tickets were inside.

That's my co-conspirator Pete Campbell in his tennis sweater.

Here we are, slipping those Rush tickets in the baseball envelope. Muahaha.

It was torturous watching him open his other stuff first.  I had put the orange envelope at the bottom of the pile.  But finally, he opened it.

That's his actual reaction, not staged.  I totally fooled him.

We still went to the ball game though.  The concert is not for a couple more months.

My sister is in town, staying at The Mom's house.  She brought along my niece and nephew.

My niece loves shoes.  She clomped around in mine for a while.  

We blew bubbles in the backyard.

I love how when it comes to small kids, so much of the time the simplest thing is the most entertaining.
