Hockey Mom ~ There is No Peace ~: September 2008

Happy Birthday To Me!

It's my birthday today, September 13! I don't feel like a year went by already, but it did. Me, MaryTara, Lisa and Jeannie went out last night (9/12) for some drinks to celebrate my birthday. Due to the pouring rain, and I mean pouring rain, we did not go to the Tiki Bar, we went next door to Jenk's. It was free to get in and was not too crowded, considering the weather. They had a band, Bitter X, which played great music and a DJ too.

Is anyone noticing the beads yet??? Why do I have beads around my neck, it's not marti gras! Well long story short, a guy with a clipboard walking around asked each of us to sign up for the band mailing list, when you started writing your name, he put a necklace around your neck. Then the girls decided to put them all around my neck since it was my birthday.

The singer of Bitter X asked if anyone was celebrating a birthday, and of course, Lisa says "It's Wendy's Birthday!" So he said happy birthday to me, :-) and everyone else that had a birthday too.

Isabelle, Nicholas and Gavin

Gavin had to get in on the act too, so he would feel like he was a part of everything. The kids did great going in with their teacher. Isabelle was so cute with her little outfit on and hair all done up. Nicholas was asked to keep an eye on Isabelle, but he didn't need to, she did great. Nicholas is an old-pro at this stuff now.

Nicholas' First Day of Pre-K - PLC

Nicholas' first day of Pre-K at the Primary Learning Center. This is his second year. This time he is going from 10:30-12:30 (thank goodness!). It's a lot less pressure for me, then trying to cram everyone in the truck for 8:10 to rush to the school for 8:30. Especially with Brandon's cranky bus driver and aide, she would never agree to meet me anyplace else (like last year's bus driver did). Next year he starts kindergarten and rides the bus!
