Want to take a cake decorating class. I have lost my skill and want to retrieve it. Jasmine finished EFY . She didn't want to go at first but felt very spiritual about it and is glad she attended. On the 4 th , Malcolm and I took each one of the girls on a 2 hour 'mother/father/daughter' excursion. Lizzie wanted to clothes shop at Naartjie so she got 4 dresses. Emma wanted lunch at Einsteins; she got her chocolate chip coffee cake and Ellie got breakfast at IHOP . Jasmine ended up having dinner with us the next night at Applebee's . It was fun to have just one child to focus on. I think we should do that once a month but maybe not spend so much money :) Had a BBQ with Jennifer and Mark at their house. Took Ellie to see my mom on her 75 th birthday. She had surgery the day before so we wanted to lift her spirits. They removed the rod in her leg in hopes to heal the wound from the break. My dad seemed weak and tired. Poor guy. Had our windows cleaned. Elli
