STILL LIKES MAPS

A GIRL AND HER DOG

BOUNCY HOUSE

Had a slight change of plans today. Instead of lunch at the Japanese
Main Buffet, we had lunch at Mickey D's and then it was on to the
Bouncy House in Black Diamond. Not bad for a couple of hours of fun
with Xander, Owen and their family. Price was not to shabby either.....
$2.00. Not it is time to go buy her shoes for the father/daughter
dance and take Butch to Lake Wilderness so that he can get his wiggles
out too.

IDIOT

Dad says that he called Mike our homestudy guy yesterday. Mike says that he now understands WHY Bal Jagat is asking him for a whole bunch of information. It's because the homeland security is being really nit picky about everything. WHICH IS WHAT MAUSAMI FROM BAL JAGAT HAS BEEN TELLING HIM ALL ALONG!!!! Doh! I guess Mike just figures that Bal Jagat has nothing better to do other than send out more work for him to do.......idiot.

Mausami has been sending us e-mails saying that homeland security is really nit picking everything and if there is any info that is missing they will send it back to us to be corrected. These are the same e-mails that she has been sending our homestudy guy Mike.

ARGH!!! If you want to know what my pet peeves are........it's idiots!

WILD WINDS

The weatherman said that us folks here in western Washington were to get some wind today and boy was he right. We not only got the wild wind but rain as well. Going to pick Mimi up from school today was like the scene from Mary Poppins where all of the nanny applicants were being blown away by the wind. The rain was falling horizontally instead of vertically. Screw the umberella. We all just came home soaked.

On a brighter note Mimi passed both the math test and spelling test with flying colors. I knew that little whipper snapper could do it.

HAVE PASSPORT WILL TRAVEL

The passport arrived a couple of days ago and the homeland security papers arrived today. Slowly but surely we are inching along.

ANOTHER WATER GIRL

Just like her friend Samantha, Mimi is another water girl. Hard to believe that a mere 7 years ago this child was deathly afraid of the pool. Now I can barely get her out. This was taken last Sunday at Grandma's place.

Grandma also adores Mimi's friend Sara and always asks her to tag along however this past Sunday was Sara's 11th birthday and she had plans with her family.

Come this Saturday Mimi will be quite busy with a competition up in Kirkland (about an hour drive from our house) in the early afternoon, to be followed by a team dinner and then a sleepover/birthday party at Sara's. Then on Sunday Daphne will be taking the girls to their ESD meeting at the Seattle Culture Center. I asked Mimi what she does at the meeting to which the girl answered "The usual. Chase the boys." Sigh.......

I do know one thing for certain........our next little chili pepper better be just as active as Mimi. That would make my job so much easier.
