The Finish Line!!!!

On Friday( as if I needed to squeeze one more event in) Caroline's school hosted a Sing Along where the students and teachers take part in line dancin and sing a couple of C&W songs. Caroline was picked as a first grade song leader and was so excited.(I was a little bit more) She performed flawlessly and must take after her mother because she didn't want to get off the stage. Mom, Kristian and Emerson came along to see.
After that I was off and running!!!! Friday was set up at the Hilton and we transformed the Ballroom into a sleek, sophisticated lounge worthy of James Bond and his ladies. My apologies for the few pics, I was running like a madwoman until the ball started..coordinating flowers, workers, chaircovers and tablecloths, painting golden girls. A huge thank you to Mom for taking care of my girls, Nola for letting me cover her in gold and David, who humbles me with his patience with me even when he shouldn't be, doesn't remind me that there are no clean clothes or dirty dishes in the sink, or anything in the pantry, and still helps me despite the fact that he dislikes going to Ball. Saturday night,the Ball was a huge success and I must say that my hubby can sure give Bond a run for his money in the tux department as well as cut a rug on the dance floor!!! CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT??? It truly was a fun evening..the food was suprisingly great(for the Hilton)...the Band rocked.(they even played Brass Monkey!!)..and lots of money was raised on behalf of the Junior League to continue their efforts enriching the lives of children in the Bryan-College Station community...thankfully I have a few months to recover till we start planning next year's Ball. Now I'm off to bed!!!!!

Sneak Peek

Tonight the Charity Ball Committee was treated to jewelry night at David Gardner's Jewelers. One of the perks of being on this committee is that we are loaned jewelry to wear to Ball. They close down the shop and we bring our dresses in and we are assigned personal assistants to help in selecting the right pieces. ISN"T THAT FABULOUS??? We can wear anything in the store!!! So here I am in my pieces. Please excuse me as to the fact that this year they made all of us put the dresses on and I was not prepared!!

This weekend's events

Where have you been??

Ok, my apologies for the lacks of postings. To say that it has been busy here on the homefront is an understatement!!! Bunco, Fall Festival responsibilities, and Charity Ball are comming to fruition these next two weeks and then it's smooth sailing baby!! I promise I will include pictures as these events occur...keep checking to see.......I'll be back!!!!

Sickness looms over the Quick household

this is it!!! I knew all the running around like mad people would finally catch up to us!! David and I have the funk and its not leaving my girls with very nice, patient, fun loving parents that they are used to. Headaches, sore throat, and general yuck have plagued our bodies. But, in our world there is no time for sickness!! There is too much stuff going on right now. We will allow ourselves today and Saturday to rest and get better and we're off again ready for next week. Poor David...Kendall and CAroline desperately wanted to play with him, but all he could muster up was his legs!! Why do we have those expensive toys outside when all they want is a pair of legs to fly in the air????
