Horses, Heat and Kitchen Destruction

Fun at a Horse Show this morning...

The Fogler Clan... (always on the lookout for the Xmas card shot)

Hi everyone... hope you had a great weekend! We did - busy, but fun... and HOT! 102 here today (that is WITHOUT the heat index)... We've been busy but all great stuff this weekend... Friday night was our mother/daughter bookclub (we read Magic Treehouse #1) - it was good but the girls were EXHAUSTED, so all of them had a tough time with it. Yesterday, Lu and I had a partial "girls" day and went shopping and went to see Toy Story 3 with her friend Natalie (and my friend, Natalie's mom, Jen)... then last night we just chilled and with Lucia STILL so tired, went to bed at 8pm. This morning, we went to a horse jumping event... we were invited by some friends, and don't know a whole lot about horses... BUT the girls highlight of Girl Scout Camp was getting to ride the horses, so I thought they'd enjoy this... and they did!

All 4 of us...

The girls had fun, but it was HOT! We got there at 8:15 and by 10:30 when we left it was already 92 degrees... so we went home, decided to go to the pool and have lunch there, then came home and chilled... the girls watched The Princess & The Frog (again), and Dennis and I demolished our kitchen in preparation for the painter to come tomorrow... Suffice it to say that we are REALLY good tilers... so good in fact, that when you try to take it off, all the drywall comes with it (sigh). Thank god our guy can "fix anything"... Everything is off the walls and shoved into the living/dining room, and we're ready for paint! Then, as we decide what is worthy enough to make it back, I am feeling like there will be another full run to Goodwill... which is a good thing! Hope ya'll had a great (cool) weekend!
