We spent the morning doing chores and getting ready for the busy afternoon\/evening.  Roberta and her daughter had gotten season tickets to a ballet place in San Jose. <!--more--> Saturday was the day of her daughters&#8217; dance recital.  So she asked if Jaime and Alix wanted the tickets.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/littlemermaidandprince.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/littlemermaidandprince-178x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"littlemermaidandprince\" width=\"178\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1099\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/littlemermaidandprince-178x300.jpg 178w, http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/littlemermaidandprince.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 178px) 100vw, 178px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The ballet was The Little Mermaid.  The girls were very excited and so we took the tickets.  The plan was to have them sit with Roberta&#8217;s friend Jen so that they would not be alone at the performance.  So at noon we loaded in the car.  I took Jaime and Alix to San Jose (south of us) and left there at 1:15.  Took Milo to north Fremont (almost Union City) for a birthday party at 2.  Left there, grabbed bread from someone&#8217;s house, ran a quick errand and was back in San Jose by 3.  Dropped the girls off at home, picked up all the stuff I needed and headed to the church.  Scott then had to go pick up Milo, get all the girls dressed and be at the church by 5 to BBQ some sausages for the ward party.  <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/jjaime.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/jjaime-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"jjaime\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1100\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/jjaime-200x300.jpg 200w, http:\/\/www.unboundpotential.com\/sami\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/06\/jjaime.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The theme of the party was Medieval Magic.

The kitchen ran great thanks to all my helpers and even clean up was not that bad.    We were all cleaned up and at home by 8pm.  Perfect for getting kids to bed at a semi reasonable hour for church the next morning.
