Fab 5 Friday...

I will be the first to admit that this has not been an easy week. But, we got through it and that's the important thing, right?

And, with that being said...TGIF.

1. Countdown to the States. 6 days peeps! That is all I can say, 6 days.

2. Al and Erin Came to Visit. We were lucky to have Al and Erin come visit from China this week. Very fun to have visitors - especially this week as we had to cancel our Penang trip. I'm hoping we might be able to sneak in a trip to China before they head back to the States at the end of the year.

3. Second Surgery Complete. Blaine had his second surgery on his knee on Monday. Everything is going fine and he'll start PT in two weeks. The best thing is that his cast is off and he's down to a brace.

4. Last Day of School. The boys finished school on Thursday and I'm pleased to say that they both had great years. Good teachers, great friends, fabulous report cards...all in all, a big success.

5. Gluten-Free Brownies. Yes, the brownies from For Goodness Cakes make the Fab 5 this week. I stopped by to see Sheila last week (as she made the pretzels for staff appreciation) and she had some gluten-free brownies - that were AMAZING! As she said, who needs gluten when you have chocolate and butter. Anyways, highly recommend!

That's all I've got today! We've booked a one night stay-cation at the Hilton for tomorrow evening. I've promised the boys a trip to Kidzania on Monday and gold class movies on Tuesday. All of that should help the time to pass before we head home Thursday evening.
