Goodbye BBQ

This morning Eric went to take the car for an oil change and to get new brakes put in before he takes the car for the inspection it needs while I stayed home with Keren and just hung out.  When I put her to sleep I cleaned up the kitchen from breakfast and then started making some salads for the BBQ we had tonight.  In the end I forgot to serve the cucumber and tomato salad!!   It will work out okay b/c I have to send something in with Talia tomorrow for a healthy end-of-the-year party and that’s what I am going to send in!

I picked Ben up from school and he ate lunch and watched the movie Cars while Talia went across the street to a friend’s house to play.  Keren napped and Eric and I did some vegetable chopping and some prep work for the BBQ.  I took Ben to the makolet to put the plastic bottles into the recycle bin and then to the park for a bit but it was just too hot to hang out there.  Meanwhile, Talia stayed at her friend’s house until I sent Ben there to pick her up close to 6:00.

My family showed up pretty much on time, which was quite the surprise and we had a really nice BBQ.  Eric and I have been working on a slide show of pictures from our year here and it came out really great.  I showed my family and they loved it.  Anyway, the food came out great and everyone enjoyed and they all took home leftovers.    The kids went to sleep close to 9 tonight so I am sure I will be in for a number of melt downs tomorrow from Ben, I am glad he’s going over to Robin’s tomorrow to play with Eitan before karate!
