Another Busy Weeeknd

Usually I blog on Wednesday about the past weekend, but this week has flown by and it is early Friday morning. Last weekend actually wasn't busy. Maybe that's what made the week seem so busy instead. First of all it poured all weekend, from Friday to Monday. Ryan came home Friday night from his military training. He was tired and we watched a DVD Beverly Hills Chihuahua and went to bed early. On Saturday we spent the moring at Dobbins Air Force Base getting Ryan's rank (Sargent) sown on to his hats and PX shopping. Then we had lunch at Sonny's Bar-B-Que. It was yummy and so filling, noone was too hungry at dinner time, so we played on computers, watched college hoops and ate popcorn and leftovers. Then Sunday we slept late and had a wonderful pancakes and eggs brunch in our PJ's around noon. Then like the slugs we are we slouched around at home all day waiting for the March Madness selection show. I made my meat sauce and meat balls for a pot luck dinner that my Kiwanis club was having on Monday. The house smelled like a ummy Italian restaurant and we enjoyed some of the sauce on spaghetti that night. Ryan left at 5 a.m. Monday moring back to base. Tuesday I did yard work. The rain cleared and weeds grew. I am trying to prevent the poison ivey from flourising this year. And Wednesday I was blind from seeing the eye doctor because of the drops they put in them. And Wednesday night is LOST Yeah!!!! I was guessing that Lock and the "plane group" were not in the same time (1977) as the rest of the group. I just didn't figure on Sun being with them. But I digress. Anyone else looking forward to the Harry Potter movie coming out this July?

This is Lindsy and the Jr. Company at the Jazz on Tap Festival in Atlanta this past weekend. They performed "Put on a Happy Face" in tap. They were aw some. I got to spend a lot of time doing hair and make-up. Then I also volunteered with the company concession stand. Since Lindsy and I were so busy this weekend with the tap festival, Ryan was off and we told him not to drive the 4 hours to get home. Instead my mom and Elizabeth went down to visit him. They had a lovely time. Elizabeth said she pet a baby alligator (It was only 2 years old) and she saw a bike race. The town they are in has many sculptures of turtles painted in many different ways. So they explored the city to see all the turtles. By the way Atlanta has cows, I think it's because of Chick-fil-A. My brother has lots of pics of the Panda's around Washington D.C. They even do them in Europe, because we saw them in Munich, Germany. Anyway back on topic... They swam all weekend in the hotel pool and to top it off, Elizabeth was given a new Webkinz. She has been sick the past too weeks with different ailments, and this weekend seemed to make her all better since she spent it, just her and her Daddy and Grandma, because on Tuesday she said nothing hurts and all signs of sickness left her face and personality. The other thing that is keeping me and Lindsy busy is reading the book Eldest by Christopher Paolini.

This past weekend Ryan was home on a three day pass. We kept busy all weekend. Elizabeth stated Friday in the Dr.'s office with strep throat for the 9th time in 2 years. They are finally going to refer her to an ear, nose and throat specialist. While she rested Friday night, Ryan, Lindsy and I played a very competitive game of monopoly. On Saturday we went to go to the Outback for lunch, but they are only open for lunch on Sunday, so we ended up at Longhorn instead. During lunch, he decides to have a little "get together" for dinner. So I quickly text people "Ziti at 7 and cards at 8" and we had a gathering that evening. Our friends Joel, Kathy, Chris, Nicole and Heather all came over and we had my best baked ziti and then we played Uno till midnight. Then as you can tell by the previous post, it snowed on Sunday. We played and got wet and cold. We changed and went to my mom's house for Sunday dinner. We ended up spending the rest of the day cooped up there, because once the snow was done falling the wind picked up and everything melted, dried up and the temperature dropped. It was cold!!! We moved here to get away from this kind of cold. Monday we were able to eat lunch with Lindsy at school. We had to sit on the stage, it seems odd to me, but Lindsy enjoyed being up there with us. Then Ryan headed back to his Army unit that evening. Not sure when he will be home again.

It's Snowing

It's snowing!! The kids are excited. We are going out to play in the falling snow. There won't be any on the ground to play with later. That's the way it is in GA. Usually at the park the kids go "southern" sleigh riding. They slide down the hillside on wax covered cardboard on the winter Bermuda grass. Once the grass turns green in the spring, the cardboard won't slide.
