Kids, Table and Astronaut

We had an opportunity to watch the grandchildren while Mark and Nicole took a little B'day trip. Mike and I took turns spending the night (only 3) and scheduled our days around our work schedules. All went off as planned and fun times playing with Garrett and Aubrey were like a vacation for me too! It was so cute to pick them up at school and be in their invironment.

Now, after seeing Chichi's Table Talk, I was inspired for our upcoming G Club party to decorate and theme the party. A Pier 1 ad came out with the Citrus/Cilantro theme. Went to Big Lots and 99cents store and stocked up on lime green and set the table. It will be a tapas party with the citrus/cilantro flavor for shrimp/chicken dips, chips etc., not sit down dinner.

Astronaut, Jose Hernandez, visited the Casa! He is in the front right of the photo. He was certainly inspiring. Mike is in the red shirt running the computer. Jose wanted to speak to lower income children as he is from a family of migrant farm workers. Someone saw his potential and convinced his parents to stay in one place (not travel from field to field-school to school), so that Jose could get a good education. He applied 11 times for a space trip and was accepted on the 12 time! He showed video of his space trip and mostly wanted to inspire children to get an education.
