One Last Daddy Daughter Dance

It's Sunday night.  We've had some nice warm weather but that's about to go away for a while.  Here's a post from a week ago Friday.  The boys got a little crazy before school.  
During the day, we got notice that the school was decorated for the Daddy Daughter Dance.  
Speaking of which, this was Ariel and my first dance when she was in first grade.  
This was us getting ready to go to our final elementary school dance.  She hasn't changed that much.
The place looked great.  
Ariel ran off with her friends of course.  

Usually, it's too loud to talk to the other dads but actually the music wasn't that bad so I wandered around chatting with a bunch of people.  

It was a big crowd!
They didn't run out of candy this year.  They must have gotten so much.  
Line dance time.  
Pizza and pretzels and cookies.  
We actually both had a lot of fun!


Lots of dancing.  




The cool girls.  


m & m's
Finally the night came down to the end.  
We helped clean up and headed home.

Sombrero Galaxy

Here is a post from last Thursday.  I'm going going to save Friday for next week.  

Ariel looking pretty for school.  Usually she wears sweats so this is a nice change!
After school, we went to Airborne.  
Ariel still working on her tuck.  

Coach Steve made this video.  Great job Ariel!

Advice for Ariel and Tessa.

They had time before their conditioning class.
Let's work out girls!
Plank!  Ariel working on her six pack.
That night was a bit clear so I got the telescope out and found the Sombrero Galaxy!  Have a great weekend!

Updating the Claw Machine

Here's a quick post.  Last Wednesday, Eli was back to his floating soccer game.  
Gifted update.
That night, Eli wanted me to remove the dividers in the claw machine so it was one big space.  That took me a while to figure out.  
Then we threw everything back in.  
Claw machine hijinks.  
We are so happy the basement is warm and comfortable.  Everyone likes hanging there now.

Tennis Tryouts

It's Tuesday night.  I took Ariel to bat mitzvah lessons tonight.  She's doing great.  

Last Monday, I made some steak!
Amy made the brocoli.  
Aden had tennis lessons that night.  
I sprained my wrist the day before so I struggles a bit.  Aden and Jared had team tryouts that afternoon.  Both of them wished they had done better.  
I made Aden a chocolate pudding pie.  
Last Tuesday, Eli played with his floating soccer ball.  
Then we played Monopoly.

Horse Head

It's Monday night.  I'm still sleepy from Daylight Savings Time.  Then I played tennis tonight.  I'm ready to pass out.  

Last Sunday, Gwen had her championship basketball game so we went to watch.  Great job Gwen!
The two of them are sweet.  

We played outside a bit.  It was nice out.  

Back to make some pork belly burnt ends.  
Ariel was up at the school with friends.  I went to check out what was going on.  
I'm still cool enough to hang out with her.  

Done!  Yum!
Aden played in a doubles tournament.  
He did well.  They won.  
Ian was busy playing poker.  


It was clear that night so I got a nice shot of the Horse Head Nebula.  You can kind of make out the horse in the middle looking up.
