What a week!

This past week was the girls last week of school, and their last week at that school. That is a happy and sad thing within itself. Unfortunately a good amount of the kids at the school they are leaving are a bit too rough. Annabelle attended two San Jose Unified schools in the past and fit right in and had good friends. However since we moved to the Tin Can and changed schools again she has struggled a lot. Sophia, aka tough cookie, has no problems whatsoever and adapts well to different environments. Annabelle Marie is a different story.   The sad part is that the school has some AMAZING teachers (you know who you are)!!! They have made lasting impressions on my girls, and helped them succeed! I also got to know some of the wonderful teachers there from when I was PTA President, I will miss seeing them on a regular basis. But, I know we will stay friends!! 

Anyway on to this week. We have been lucky to have one of my favorite girls (other than my own) staying at our house since Thursday. We were even more excited to spend time with her because she and her parents are moving to S. Carolina in a few more weeks. It has been nice waking up every morning to their laughing and shenanigans!

 I have been craving Tortas! Good thing I am married to a wonderful Hispanic man who can make them for his pregnant wife whenever she asks for them! Thank-you my love!!!
  
We have still been successful at not buying bread at the store. Thanks to this awesome book. I have yet to make the same bread twice. This bread was a definite winner, Jewish egg bread.
 We made french toast with it this morning in response to the little ladies requests

 I also made 4 loaves of bread, we had alredy polished off one before I could take a picture, the center one is shaped like a football because it stuck to the peel. We are down  to two loaves, we enjoyed another today with Calolea strawberry vinegar and oil, from the Sunnyvale farmers market. I am a huge fan of their products!
 Since I finished his jacket I started on baby Johns first pair of socks, unfortunately today I had to rip out a hand full of rows.
 Tonight's dinner looks like it was BBQed but due to this freaky, icky June weather we grilled it in the house. Honey ginger pork, crunchy boc choy, and white rice with vinegar and red pepper. Luckily it was kid approved, but that may have been because they were looking forward to desert.
 Butterscotch Banana splits!!!
YEAH! They were good!!!
