Busy, busy week!

We went to Redding last week to see my good friend Jaimie and her family. Perhaps the most important discovery made on the trip was a magic "P" onion ring that made it possible to spell important words like "Poo" and "Poop" in onion rings. At Jaimie's house we had some good conversation and fun play time with the kids. The boys were super cute and fun! We got to hang out at Whiskeytown lake and even venture over to enjoy the history of Old Shasta. The museum was fun! The "ghost" exhibit kind of freaked us all out a bit... Well at least me and Daniel! Making pizza was fun and I thoroughly enjoyed Scrabble, I think it may be an addiction! On Sunday we went to the Sundial bridge. Its super cute, but i kind of wish we could have gone in the evening, when it is all lit up! After all the busy adventure we grabbed some lunch at Del Taco before heading out. I found out how irritating it is when someone appears to be ignoring Richard just because he is Asian. Guess that somewhat limits our potential towns to move to. At any rate, before heading out we discovered an odd pile of jeans, a shirt. And a curly haired wig on the trash outside Del Taco and I think we all kinda wondered who robbed a bank... All in all Redding was pretty good, but extremely exhausting!!
Unfortuantely work started with a bang. I think it was some kind of crazy carry over from the full moon. I know, sounds like a crazy superstition, but work at AK for a year, or even a month, and you would know how serious the side effects of a full moon can be. We had a weird week where many of the kids were edgy and we had to go hands on and escort a student to the time out room and hold the door for an hour an twenty minutes. Something I have never done before. Ever.
Daniel had a couple of volleyball games and unfortunately, his team lost. Richard (in his continual quest to "turn the Johnsons Asian" ;) made us sushi at home. It was surprisingly tasty for having seaweed in it. Daniel even tried rolling it himself.... Not so easy as it looks. :) On Thursday, we took a break from all the crazy and enjoyed dinner at Sweet Tomatoes. Oh Sweet Tomatoes, how I missed thee...
Finally, on Friday, the weekend came. I enjoyed margarits at La Perla with the girls from work, it was much needed! Then we dove into Asia weekend. More attempts to turn us Asian, lol. We went to the Japantown Festival with Diane. The festival was alright, but not great. It was good to see Diane, but I sorta missed our dish time where we fill eachother in on all the crazy happenings in our lives.... Darn, guess we'll have to go get pedicures! >:) After that I got to nap (man, I'm so spoiled :), before we went over to Ringerhut for dinner (more Asian food.... There is definitely a trend). We topped the night off with a laser show at the De Anza Planetarium. I am certain the show would have been better if I was high or on Shrooms, but it was still pretty cool. However. Now it gave me a taste for Planetarium, and now I think I have to go back for stars!
Perhaps the most relaxing day this week has been Sunday. We started off with a family breakfast, where even Moe got pancakes. Daniel has decided it should be a Sunday morning tradition, and I suppose I am in... As long as I can still sleep in. Now we are doing our REAL Sunday tradition of laundry and hanging out at Starbucks. Who knew laundry could be so relaxing? Between the Starbucks time and sleeping in, I think I may actually be ready for this week! Especially if we get to enjoy a movie without a kid in tow.....
