Here's wishing Meme & Poppy a wonderful birthday weekend!! Meme's birthday is today, February 28 and of course, I was going to say she was turning 29 again, but then what would they make me?? Poppy's birthday is tomorrow, March 1! Hopefully, there are special birthday dinners occurring at their house tonight and tomorrow night (I want to know the menu) complete with a yummy birthday cake!! We'll be seeing them both next weekend to celebrate their birthdays AGAIN in Wimberley back the Blair House Inn!!
Our Saturday has been busy so far. Stephen had his ISEE examination this morning. It's a skills assessment examination as the last piece for the private school application we've made. Three hour test with essay!! Stephen said his head hurt when he finished!! I bet it did. Told him to get used to it because he'll see that type of test environment with the ACT/PSAT/SAT and other types of testing in his life!! He felt he did really well with the math portion and ok with the reading/writing portion. I'm told we'll be able to see the scores on Weds evening. So... stay tuned!
Rachel had a soccer game this morning at 10 am so she had to be at school at 8:45 am. Since I still have not been able to master cloning myself, John was the designated driver for her event!! I went to the game to watch her play though after dropping Stephen off. She played goalkeeper for the first half and mid field for the second half. It was pretty cold out there and the wind was very strong. The ball didn't go where it normally would with the strong wind blowing it southward! They were victorious and won 2 - 0!! YAY!!
After arranging for the kid pickups/dropoffs at home, I went to the 3 area scrapbooking shops for the Houston Area Scrapbook Round-Up. Lots of fun things to make and 20% off everything everywhere! I had fun doing that and picked up a few item I needed!! My next goal.... print off some pictures and to get creative soon!
Rachel had a few boys over today that were on her assigned team in Biology and they had a project to finish they have to present on Monday! Rachel managed to pick a team where she's one of two girls with 4 guys and the other girl couldn't come today.... hmmmmm...... anyway, they were nice young men. They worked on their project for about 3 - 4 hours to get it done (with a little foozball in between!).
We're having a mexican dinner tonight at our favorite restaurant - Los Ramirez - with the family of one of Rachel's friends, Bridget. They are new to town and we offered to introduce them to our favorite mex place around here! That'll be fun!!
Later!

Happy birthday to your Mom and Dad. They remind me of my mom and dad.
Seems as though you plan to be in Wimberley next weekend. I have a couple of suggestions you might give a try: Flores, the new Mexican restaurant on Hwy. 290 W on way to Dripping from Austin (14 miles), and Sol'stice Garden Expressions about 2 miles past the light at RR12 going west on Hwy 290. Check my blog for all the great pieces of outside sculptures.
Coming from Austin, a left turn at RR12 in Dripping takes you to Wimberley which is around 15 miles. :D
Hope the weather is good.
Lynn,
Thank you for the suggestions!! We'll see if we can give 'em a try! Any others are welcome as well!
I hope the weather is nice too! They have a Market Day next Saturday that I think we may try to go to as well there in Wimberley.
Always knew Rachel was SUPER smart!!! ,as an aunt, can commend her on her awesome choice of science project group members!! Tell John to put away his shot-gun...Ha!

This is off subject but our Esther study group has a question you might be able to answer since Beth does your study group in person. In the video, Beth uses the expression "GP" over and over again.
None of us can figure out what the initials mean. Hopefully, Beth is using that in your study. :D
RACHEL WAS TALKING AND WALKING AROUND AND HHHHEEYYYY I JUST REALIZED I DID NOT GET TO SEE THE FINAL PRODUCT
