a very bad girl

Last Saturday, just as we were about to leave for the reunion, I got a phone call from my Aunt May. She called to request invitations for a small party she and another mother are hosting. A birthday party for Ethan and a boy named Matthew who are both turning 5 in November. The only requirement was that there be Cars and Hot Wheels featured somewhere on the invite. Here's what I came up with.


I am a bad, bad girl.

So today while Kenny was off volunteering with the tear down of the Las Vegas Night fundraiser at Henry's school, I drove down to Orange County with the boys to drop off the invites. I was going to mail them, but got really paranoid especially since there is little time to hand them off before the rsvp due date. As an added bonus Auntie May handed me a brand new Razr that she just had laying around! I'm still trying to get a handle on all the buttons.

Afterwards we met Hilary and John for lunch at a new area by their house called the District. The place was a crazy version of the Spectrum in Irvine. It has a large selection of stores conveniently located close to each other with vast amounts of parking in between. It was landscaped with tons of fountains everywhere. Even one of those interactive fountain displays where the kids get wet playing footsie with it.


It was difficult steering Rhys away before the anticipated drenching, but we managed, mainly by dragging everyone into the closest kid friendly restaurant. We had lunch at GoRoma and then explored the area a bit before heading over to the Whole Foods for ice cream.




All in all it was a very constructive day.
