On Saturday we went - as usual - to the German Sophie Scholl Saturday School in the morning. It actually lasts until 12:30 so we do not get back home before after 1 p.m. Saturday has been our day to go out for lunch/dinner. All of us are usually tired so it has been a nice change of pace. Afterwards we went - are you ready - roller skating at the Oaks Park Roller Rink. Let me just tell you that I do not have a lot of previous roller skating experience. Well, maybe that one time when I got roller skates at the age of nine and broke my arm. There was also another time - a couple of years after the arm breaking incident - that I tried again. I skated down a hill by my grandparents house, could not stop myself and rode ride into a phone booth {yes - a big yellow phone booth they did still exist at the time I was a kid}. So anyway, you get the picture I really have no positive roller skating experience. The girls wanted to go...so hey, I can always give it a new try plus I have had never skated at a roller ring. Wow!!! What have I missed all those years?! I - honestly - had so so so much fun!!! Yup, glad the girlies like it too so we will be back...
Sunday was busy too. Ron ran a 1/2 Marathon in the morning, and the girls along with me as well as the girl scout troupe went to see a play at the Oregon Children's Theater. Super fun, but Mia Rosie was a little scared...
Yesterday was Chocolate Cake Day, so I made brownies {yes, I cheated by using a box from Trader Joe's but...this time I added 6 Tbl of Olive Oil instead of Earth Balance. These were the best brownies EVER!}

I also made Chimichurri sauce {green} topped the steak with it, oven baked potatoes, and a green salad. Everyone was happy :)
Have a great week!
