What I did this weekend

My last weekend at home for a long while has turned out to be a wonderful one. This weekend was the start of the Short Course (swimming) season with the TXLA meet at UTexas Lee and Joe Jamil Swimming Center. Linnea swam two events on Friday night and three events today (Saturday) and she KICKED BUTT! It was wonderful to watch - after all her hard work at swim team practice she really showed how much she has learned and improved with Coach Kay and Coach John at Cedar Park Swimming. Our neighbour Colin also swam and had the same kick butt kind of meet so much celebration was to be had (and the kids were allowed to eat pizza in the car on the way home).
And not to be outdone, Alex's soccer team (this week they are the "Orange Tigers" - I'm betting on them being the pumpkins at least once before the fall season is done) had a great game and Alex had a great goal and some assists.
Now I am finishing up configuring six netbooks for the kids school, Austin International School. Not much to do there but hit "return" "return" "I accept" and "return" as I replace the Linux systems with XP. I should point out that the teachers want XP, not me. In the process, I have found some great freeware for the kids laptops. My favourite is "Stellarium"
Now all that's left is packing (eeck!)
