The day went fast though, so I can't really complain. It started off rough. Last night on the way to dinner, my car was making some horrible noises. When I would brake, or take off, it sounded like an airplane was landing. Christian took a look, and said one of the brake pads (changed not too long ago) had slipped, so the rotor and the caliper were grinding against each other. ALL of it needed to be replaced. Ugh - story of my life!
SO, my car couldn't be drive. Christian ended up going in a little late, and dropping me off at work. Then, he left early to pick up the parts, and bring the car over to his dad's to work on it. I left a tad early as well, when my mom got off, so she could give me a ride home. Chaos!
I did a little picking up around the house, and then I was off. I picked up the girls from my in-laws, and we were off to my BFF's house for a little BBQ. It was kind of a combination Father's Day/Post-Wedding/Let's Relax Together thing. The girls had a blast with the other kids, and played in the water for a bit. I got to spend more time with Kari. I got some more compliments on my Maid of Honor speech :) That makes me happy - I wasn't super nervous about giving it, but more nervous about how it would go over. It wasn't overly mushy, or over the top funny - I tried to find a happy medium. I was thinking - you never heard GOOD maid of honor speeches - the Best Man usually does something funny or quirky, and the Maid of Honor usually just says a few sappy sentences and that's it. I don't think it's fair for the men to have all the fun, so I went for it :) And, I'm very glad it went over well.
After some play, the girls and I headed home. Christian had not only finished the car, but had mowed our front yard as well. Busy guy! The girls went straight to bed, and passed right out. Tomorrow they are actually going to my moms, because this is one of the summer weeks we're adjusting their schedule. They are having a "Plant Plants with Parents" day on Friday, so I wanted them to be there for that. I'm excited!
Here are a few pictures from the BBQ. The kids curled up to watch a movie for a little while, then took to the pool!
