Relaxing after a busy weekend..
We were all happy to have KJ home again after he was gone working out of town in Menasha all week. Friday morning KJ and I went shopping for a new mattress, and then met Tom and Shari for lunch at BD Mongolian grill. Grandpa Butch got back from his vacation to Daytona and came over in the afternoon to pick up his dog (yahooie!!!), and shower the kids with a million new race shirts.

Kayla babysat Friday night, and then went see the movie "When in Rome" and hung out with her friends on Saturday. Conner went to a birthday party and the circus. Tia had her friends over on Saturday for birthday fun - ice skating, cake decorating, hot tub, pizza, and games.

KJ went to see a couple bands Saturday night while Helena and Alicia stopped over with the boys to hash out putting together Josh's new construction website.

Sunday after church the kids made a double batch of puppy chow, and Kayla made a Greek Horiatiki salad for a project at class - it turned out really good.

Horiatiki Salad:
2 cucumbers, 4 large tomatoes, 1 cup Kalamati olives, 1/2 cup onion, 2 tbs olive oil, oregano, parsley, and salt/pepper to taste. You can also add cold rotini noodles if wanted.
