Last Friday we were putting the final touches on the SLHS auction. This wrapped up on Saturday with the event at the Seattle Waterfront Marriott. About 275 people attended and we hope to eclipse our mark of $75k raised two years ago. All indications show that we will do that, but keep your fingers crossed. A cool surprise this year, our good friend Sean Buck flew out to be the emcee for the event. He did a fantastic job!
After a long tiring weekend, Monday hit with the Hannah Montana concert. I posted a couple pics on Monday and will try to post some more later. Maddie and I went with Rob and Makalya and had a great time. We hit Jaliscos for dinner prior, and then made it to the concert. I have a couple videos with sound that will demonstrate the noise level of thousands of screaming girls. It was a lot of fun, and Maddie loved it.
Tuesday was a big day for my work. Effective Tuesday, eProject became daptiv. Check out our new website www.daptiv.com. We are expanding our capabilities to be much more the web-based project management (thus the e-Project)...we want to/can allow companies to create robust business applications. Anyway, after 7 1/2 years here, this is probably the biggest change (among many) and is very exciting.
Wednesday, of course, was Halloween. The night before, the girls and I carved our 3 homemade pumpkins (grown in Nana J's garden). Trick or treating got kicked off with a visit to my work. A number of kids came by the office, and a number of the "big kids" i.e. the employees, got decked out in costumes and decorated their offices. They came away with haul#1. From here we met up with the Doerrs in the Admiral district for trick or treating. All the merchants handed out goodies. This was haul#2. We headed home for a nummy homemade dinner of sloppy joes with Papa C and Nana/Papa J, then it was out for a trip around the block. We literally only made it up 1 side and down the other, and made it home with a ton of candy. Whole candy bars, buckets of candy, etc. It was crazy. It feels like we have a small candy store on our kitchen counter.
Tonight, with the help of Nana J's ability to win radio/TV contests, we got pre-release tickets to the Bee Movie. We headed up to Oak Tree after work, had a drive-in dinner at Burgermaster, then headed to the movie. KK was a bit tired, and wanted to be with Mommy all movie...Maddie was pretty intent and enjoyed ever bit of the movie...Afterward we asked if she liked it and she said, "I loved it!" It was a cute movie with a good mix of humor and fun.
So, busy busy week. To top it all off, Maddie has been out of school since Wednesday as there is a teacher's conference in Oregon. Steph has been working hard to keep the girls from tearing each other apart...too much :-) They are definitely Sisters!
