fluttering

Wowzers what a weekend...the 10yr old nephew came to stay with me for 3 days. I love this kid like crazy. I knew he needed a get away from the norm so I planned a whole weekend of fun. Here's a rundown of alll the stuff we did.
Thursday night: Dave & Busters, came home and played cards and dominos til around midnight
Friday: Spacecenter and Astros game. The astros game was AWESOME!!!! and there were fireworks afterwards so we didn't get home until 11:30pm.
Saturday: lounged around the pool, Butterfly Center at the museum, Ice Age 3 in 3D, back to the pool. (We were going to do the Terra Cotta Warrior exhibits at the museum but the darn place closed early so we settled for the butterfly museum)
Sunday: church, buca di beppo, and gelato.

We both were completely exhausted by Sunday afternoon. Good times. ok there were a few times I forgot to feed him and he had to remind me that he was hungry, but I think that was the most responsible-ish I've ever had to be, and I passed.

ok so I've always considered myself someone of a treehugger--I love nature and the outdoors. Flowers are my friends (hence, exposing posies), and I'm generally ok with most critters (minus snakes. I'm TERRIFIED of snakes). The butterfly center was interesting. At first when they'd fly by my face I'd swat or duck like a dummy but then after a while it got better. The nephew had a butterfly guide and we went around trying to find each kind on the guide. He really enjoyed checking out the wings under the microscope. Maybe he found his calling? We'll see!

It's a busy week folks!
Tuesday: b-ball game with Keda and her kiddos (flash practice!)
Wednesday: bowling! We're still last place, but my average is improving
Thursday: Karaoke at Corkscrew with SPH buddies!
Friday: Mambo Kings at Mixers and Elixers!
Saturday: Wedding shoot!
Sunday: posssssssibly a maternity shoot for the lovely ninja-ette!

Future..um...bug guy?
