Saturday in Review....

We had a busy Saturday.....David had to work for a few hours at the Oktober Fest in Downtown Tempe so the kids and I went down before it got too busy with all the ASU football fans after the game.

Hannah & Simon both got their faces painted by the nice clown ladies.

Simon got a "scary spider" and Hannah got a pink cat.

Posing with their finished faces. They also took a few turns on the blow up rides but they were quickly getting too hot for the kids to play on them in the 90 degree heat.
So....they cooled off at the water area at the Tempe Town Lake Park. What a difference in Simon from last year...he was fearless this year and kept up with Hannah.
They even took turns hitting each other with the water guns!
Simon reclining under the waterfall. A good morning had by all!
Last night David & I went to the New Times "Best of Phoenix A'fare" down at a place called Bentley Projects in downtown Phoenix. This was a fundraiser to benefit the March of Dimes.

The Bentley Projects is a converted warehouse with an art gallery, bookstore & restaurant. It is very "artsy" for lack of a better word. It was an interesting venue but HOT. The A/C in the place was not made to keep it cool for 1200 people. Plus, there were not enough bathrooms either. Thankfully, we were not around when everyone was really drunk and needed the bathrooms!

Here is David with Jen Burgess before the event really got going. This event has stations with samplings from different restaurant, wine importers and the ubiquitous "Devil's Martini" bar.
Here they are trying to sell a day with some single firemen...and boy were they cute!!!
David & I with our flashing glasses from the Budweiser people that we brought home for the kids.
And some of David's co-workers.
It was a good evening, as always, and there was so much good food it was tough to choose!!!!

On the menu for today...laundry, relaxation, a little work and maybe a new knitting project. I have yarn and am thinking of giving the Charlotte's Web pattern a try. Probablywithout the fringe. I am not a huge fringe lover!
