wow. wow. wow. Since the two eldest offspring have finished their first school year in the SF Unified School District, that means they are now officially enjoying their first summer break in SF as well. Makes sense, right? Anyhow, much to my surprise the weather has been very summer-esque as of late.
(Aside from the tornado force wind while I’m on a bike, what up with that? See video below, not related to the family, just funny.)
Anyways, they did enjoy a couple days of having fun at home with us, then they were wisked away to Summer Camp in Lake Tahoe for a few days with the R.O.C.K. after school program.
We were sad, happy, scared, and proud all at once. Of course Xander enjoyed being an only child for a while. Grandma Laurie came up for the weekend to help, relax, and watch Eden’s dance recital.
Now starting today, all 3 kids are in VBS for the week, and an afternoon camp starts today as well with R.O.C.K. again. Summer madness!

In work news: Old Skool Cafe was a competitor (against some very good restaraunts/caterers/chefs, mind you) in Sunday Streets’ Shrimp n Grits cooking challenge, and WE WON! People’s Choice award: tops in all 3 categories; Taste, Creativity, and Presentation. Secret weapons- Smoked Gouda, Mimolette, Spanish Chorizo, and Cayenne/Garlic Shrimp. (other secrets cannot be revealed…)
The youth were so proud, it was worth all the efforts. I have to go back to the kitchen and finish cleaning today. Sigh.
Lisa and Laurie (grandma, mom) are going to go out to the city now. It’s almost July already. eek.
