Moments in My Life

Backdated post: 9/13/2008

Hubby works for Northrop Grumman. His company had an Open House two Saturdays ago on 9/13. There were free rides and games for kids. For adults, each has to pay $2. With the coupon, we got a free items. This year we got two messenger bags. We don’t usually use it, ends up donating it away end of the year.

We arrived at 10:50am. We stopped to collect my name tag, since Hubby used his badge while Brandon didn’t need one. After that, we went to collect the free messenger bag. There were free drinks stalls and ice cream (only 4 types to choose from) vans everywhere. Hubby started off with an ice cream bar. I didn’t have any. We walked around the children rides and games area (no picture). Brandon wasn’t too interested in the rides anyway, so we went to get some food.

The lunch meal wasn’t ready until 11:30am so we went and got hotdogs. One for each of us. Brandon likes hotdogs with ketchup. He had the whole hot dog minus half the bun. By then, he was full. But I wasn’t. So I went to que for the lunch meal. When the lines were opened, I got a bit of salad, fruits, a BBQ tri tip roast, a bit of BBQ chicken and a few cookies. I like the sugar cookies. While we were eating, I saw a Mommy from our parenting class with her boy and husband. We sat together for a little while and enjoyed the music entertainment on the stage.

We left at 12pm and headed to Launching Pad, the daycare/preschool in the company’s compound. They were having open house as well to allow parents to drop by to check out their facility. It is a very nice school but the fees are very steep. Pre-school for 3 yr old full time is around $850/month. I would have to come out to work if we are sending our boy here for pre-school.

Here are some random pictures I took at the Open House.
