Jam Packed Social Calendar

Yesterday was such a busy day. We started out by having a family pancake breakfast. This is getting to be a Saturday ritual. Pancakes with berries, bacon and scrambled eggs. Yummy! After breakfast we all went to the Golf Club of Texas for Roger's golf lesson. Maggie napped during the lesson and Zofia and I played on the rocking chairs and the rocks. After Roger's lesson, he and Zofia did a little putting on the green with Zofia's new golf club.
After Golf, we drove to New Braunfels to meet Julia Soccerball at Wurstfest (which is pretty much like Oktoberfest) After eating plenty of sausages, potato pancakes and no beer, we danced to some oompah music and went on the merry-go-round. Soon it was time to go home, and we were hoping both girls would nap in the car on the one hour drive home. No such luck. I guess the day had been way too exciting. Once we arrived home it was time for the girls to get dressed up for Lala's "pretty in pink" girls only 25th birthday bash. We got in the car and Maggie fell asleep almost instantly, but Zofia waited until we were about 2 blocks away from the restaurant. I tried to transfer her, still sleeping, into the stroller, but of course she woke up the instant I laid her down. Both girls had a good time at the restaurant, although Maggie ate more than Zofia, who couldn't quite wrap her brain around the concept of fondue. Maggie sucked the cheese off of about 6 or 8 pieces of bread and ate a couple of pieces of chicken to boot. I had never been to a fondue restaurant before and I will definitely go again. What with the dipping and the long fondue forks, it was a hoot. And then they brought out the chocolate!! Next time I have to remember to eat less dinner and save more room for the chocolate. Actually, I think that is about all Zofia ate: 6 or 7 strawberries and a bite of chocolate sauce with pecans. Needless to say, both girls feel asleep the instant we pulled out of the parking lot at about 8:30pm, and Zofia barely stirred as I changed her into jammies and put her to bed.

This morning on the way to church Roger was asking Zofia all about the party. Here is part of the conversation:
Roger: Did Daddy go to the party?
Zofia: No, only the girls went to the party, you couldn't go, cuz you're a boy!
R: Oh, next time can I go the the birthday party?
Z: Yes Daddy, maybe next time you will be a girl.

And of course now Zofia has a fever and is feeling so pitiful. Many more photos on the yahoo page.

I got to Boogie

Daddy: Zofia do you have boogies in your nose?
Zofia: No Daddy, I don't have boogies in my nose. I have nostrils in my nose.
