A weekend Recap

It's Monday.

I have a scheduled day off today with a short meeting this morning.

It is minus 25 here today, very, very cold.

My meeting was short and sweet, I am home enjoying my day off.

I have baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies, have a meatloaf and twice baked potatoes in the oven.

It's been a productive day.

We took a road trip to Alissa and Nathan's on Saturday to celebrate John and Alissa's birthday.

Paul was not able to join us, so Courtney and the girls were able to ride with us.

It was a fun road trip.

We got to Bloomington where there is no snow and just before we got out of the car, Soli said, "It is summer here!"  How I wish, but as soon as she felt the temps, she decided it was indeed winter down there, too.

We had a fun afternoon playing legos and watching TV.

Uncle Cheddah took the girls to Toys R Us to pick out a toy.

Alissa came home with a large Power Ranger sword while Tiz chose a clock necklace and a watch.

The three of them had a great time together.

We had birthday cakes, the girls had decorated John's and my mom had made Alissa an angel food cake which was her request.

After cake Alissa opened the goody box and went 10 for 10.

After the goody box opening, we went to a Mexican restaurant for dinner.

It was great food and margaritas.

John and I brought the girls home while Courtney, Alissa and Nathan had a few more drinks at  Margarita Island.

We had to be home by 7:15 for the Packer/Arizona playoff game.

We knew it was going to be a hard battle and it was, but unfortunately it went the other way and the Packers lost in a very exciting overtime.

Even thought they lost, we could not complain about their playing.

Just wait till next year!

On Sunday we had lunch with Alissa and Nathan and then headed home.  I sat in the backseat on the way home so I could enjoy both girls.

It was a good weekend all around.
