greatest hits

chris' dad is going to san antonio for business, and because he's awesome, he's hopping on a plane to dallas to spend around 36 hours with us this weekend.  we are all excited to see papa.  we plan on doing the usual when out-of-staters are visiting: eating barbeque and mexican food.
yay!

here are some snaps form the past week or so:
1) i chaperoned ben's first field trip as a kindergartner.  as a former teaher of eight years, i have officially concluded that it takes a special soul to teach kindergarten.  and i am not one of those souls.  they are so sweet and cute and clueless, like puppies.  i had a blast observing.
 we walked to our neighborhood nursery where i drooled over succulents and the kids posed with pumpkins.
 aren't they cute?
 2) i snapped this pic of my mom and my niece.  it cracks me up for some reason.  i think these two may be two-peas-in-a-pod.
 3) desperately trying to get good use out of our season passes, we went to the fair a couple more times.
 the boys found a fun-house with suds.  our shins sure were clean after that.
 hear me out, this was the best thing we ate at the fair.  magical greens wrapped in dough and fried like an empanada.  best enjoyed after doused in louisiana hot sauce.
 this is why we are broke.  rides.
 someone's getting sleeeepy.
 after five years of practice, this child STILL cannot eat without food ending up all over his face and in his ears and staining his shirt.  unreal.
 the parade is always a hit.
 our local favorites, the o's, played the main stage.  ben got to high five his favorite musician/waiter/nice guy.  good times.

i am running thirteen miles on saturday morning, and to be incredibly honest, i am scared to death.  running close to 12 miles last week almost did me in.  anytime i am scheduled to run mileage i never have before makes my stomach knot.  wish me luck.

looking forward to that being over!

how was your week?  what are you looking forward to?

love,
coco
