First of all, the first person to tell me who sang the lyrics to the title of this post wins a prize. Okay, maybe not a prize, but a virtual salute.
Anyway, hodgepodge coming straight at ya today. A little of this and a little of that went down over the past two days. It was an eating, drinking, dancing, shopping, sun shining, kite flying merry good time.
With the weather turning much warmer over the last several weeks, we have taken advantage of the 48 hours that grace us with their presence every five days. It's kinda hard to sit still when the birds are singing, the sun is beaming and spring is in the air (at least for now). If you live in Texas, you know how quickly it can go from flip flops to sweaters.
Speaking of flip flops and sweaters, I thought I would begin with just that...clothes.

Moving onto the actual weekend. Friday night consisted of sushi, sangria and some Target shopping. How freaking cute are these polka dot shoes? Yi-chia, I thought of you when I took this picture! I spent entirely too much money, that I don't have, on some serious goodness. Recall the middle picture in the first set above. I call this threesome a winning combination.
Saturday evening just about turned me into major mush. It was the annual daddy/daughter dance for the Girl Scouts in our area. The theme, in case you couldn't figure it out, was Boot Scootin' Boogie. It doesn't get much better seeing your husband and daughter not only look beyond words adorable, but also having a date night together...corsage and all.
When you have two kids, you can't let the little pipsqueak feel left out. So what does one do to help ease the "I wanna go to the dance too" feeling? They take them on a date and let them order anything they want off the menu...root beer coming right up. It's also a grand excuse to catch up with a best friend. Double dates are the BEST.
After a morning of church and brunch, we had the brilliant idea of heading out to Zilker Park for the annual Kite Festival. It was sunny with bright blue skies, windy and warm, a perfect mix for flying kites, right? Well, yes, sort of. It was fun. It was really cool being part of a pretty awesome event that the GREAT City of Austin hosts every year. It was a bit amusing to see all the kites stuck in trees. It was fabulous people watching. We ooh'd and we ahh'd at all the the kites, but as you can see from the pictures, it was out of control crowded. The traffic was horrendous, the lines were ridiculous and the 50,000 people almost gave me an anxiety attack. If we go again next year, I will plan better, bring a blanket, more food and take the shuttle. It is definitely something to experience at least once if you live in the Austin area. We have lived here for over 10 years and this was our very first rodeo. We were rookies to say the least.
So, tell me what was the highlight of your weekend? I must say watching Logan and Ross head off to do a little two-steppin' took the cake for me.
