Top 10 for the Week of March 29

* We had a scrumptious meal at our favorite Mexican restaurant - Taqueria la Venadita (Thanks Rebecca - best restaurant referral ever!) The guy we usually see there is named Jose. So Evan calls this place "Jose's". However, the last few times, we did not see Jose. Instead, we saw a gal. This time, Evan asked her what her name was and she said, "Mimi." So now, Evan calls this place, "Mimi's". :)

* Not a very good survival rate for Evan's fish tank. All fish except Princess and Sharkie died while we were gone. We got 5 new Albinos from Petsmart - one already died. Gonna see if there's anything we can do about the tank before more die. Poor fish.

* Ellena has started sitting up on her own. In just a few days, she has become an expert, with just a few tumbles backwards.

* I am almost done with the first week of the workout. Ouch. Today I'm really feeling it. All week I had the nice muscle pain. Today, I'm feeling fatigued. Day 6 - tomorrow - is supposed to be kenpo. I feel like an uncoordinated goof doing it, so I was going to do something else instead - plyometrics or repeat the cardio workout. Hmm, maybe tomorrow and Sunday will be Rest X.

* Ellena has started babbling up a storm. She will sit there and talk back and forth with us. It's the cutest thing.

* We booked our flights for this summer's HI trip. Hawaiian Air had a special, so we got a good price. And used Evan's frequent flyer miles for our interisland hop. How sick is that - our 3 1/2 year old had enough miles to cover us.

* Ellena's separation anxiety seems to have gotten better. Not as many Momma battles at night. But she was quite sassy to Pops this morning.

* Finished a little dress for our neighbor's 1st bday present. Next, gonna work on her big brother's bday present - matching aloha shirt. Then, gonna see if I bought enough material to do panties for under the dress. :)

* Had Wendy and Isabel over for a playdate. Nice to see out buddies after being away on our trip. Kids go off and play by themselves - Wendy and I can chat, and El entertains herself now that she's mobile. Love it!

* Yesterday we went across the street and played at our neighbor's house, whose kids are about the same age as Ev and El. Very fun times for all.
