Weekend warriors and Recipe of the Week

This weekend was a laundry list of things to do.
  • Tritan and Brian went fishing. Tritan has always wanted to go, but because we took so long to register our car, and thus get a fishing liscense it became a quiet obsession for him. When Brian finally got the liscense and fishing poles at Wal-Mart on Friday, Tritan responded with "Cool. Thanks Dad." Which is his equivalent of jumping up and down, and screaming around the house. They went to the lake early Sat. morning, worms and donuts in hand, and actually caught a fish. They didn't take the camera, and threw the fish back in, so we'll just have to take their word for it.
  • Athena's jazz recital was this weekend. She did great. Brian and I both wish we could find a studio as good as the one we happened onto when we lived in VA--and I know that it probably doesn't matter, maybe doesn't even exist, but I feel like I MUST find the perfect studio for Athena. Apparently, this is my quiet obsession. I am crossing my fingers that her ballet recital is good.
  • Tritan and Brian went to another soccer game. The boys lost this time. I don't think Brian will lose any sleep on switching alliances when Philly finally gets thier team. Tritan has the distinction of being The Loudest Cheer-er. Who knew?
  • We bought summer clothes for the kids. I put together cute outfits for Athena to try on, she dutifully tries them on, and then buys the outfits she puts together. Ah, well!
  • We got invited to some friends for dinner. We had a really good time and the kids played well with their kids, even though they are much younger and so we could actually have a conversation with the parents.
  • We cleaned the church. Our group leader arranged for a potluck breakfast before we started to clean--which I thought was counterproductive--but it actually turned out really fun.

Recipe of the Week

Here's a fun quick dish: mix cooked, shredded chicken with bbq sauce (honey bbq is my favorite), layer it on a tortilla with cheddar cheese, chopped tomato and green onions. Fold over tortilla or put another tortilla on top and broil til toasted. Flip and toast the other side. BBQ Chicken Quesadillas--everyone loves them at our house.
