Catch Up

Time just got away from me, yet again.

I need to catch up on last weekend and add this weekend's activities.

So, here goes...

Last weekend, Courtney, Paul,Tiz and Soli came here on Friday night.  We had a gun nigh of watching TV.  On Saturday morning, Courtney, Paul, and Tiz left for a cheer competition in Schaumburg.  John and I took Soli to the Milwuakee Art Mueseum.

The three of us had so much fun together.

Soli used her art book to look for all the art work and w:e found 24 of 26!

Here are some of our photos:

After our fun day at the museum we took Soli to Stonefire Pizza for some food and gaming.  We ate as soon as we got there, we were so hungry since we didn't eat any lunch.  The buffet is very good.  We played lots of games, Soli met a new friend and they rode the bumper cars and the other rides together.  She chose a lanyard and some pink teeth for her prizes.  We were ready to leave as the place was getting crazy and overrun with teens.

It was a full, fun day and there was more to come.

On Sunday we went to church and made plans to meet the rest of Soli's family at Mayfair on Sunday afternoon.

Courtney had left a few texts that said that tiz's cheer team had not done their best so there wasn't much hope for a first place, oh well, at least we were having fun.

We visited the Lego Store and Barnes and Noble at Mayfair before eating dinner at Five Guys.

It was a great meal with lots of fun conversation.

We love our Soli time!

Courtney, Paul, and Tiz arrived about 6:30 and Tiz was sporting a National Champion jacket which she got when her team won first place.

We were all so excited,

It had been a wonderful weekend for everyone!

It was spirit week at school and we only had three days this week so that was very nice.

My kids had fun dressing up in pajamas and crazy/clash clothes and enjoyed a pep rally.

On Thursday on went to Oshkosh with John on his way to work.

Courtney and I organized and cleaned all her closets as well as her craft room

We took 33 bags of donated stuff, and garbage out of that house.

They are getting ready for their move to Milwaukee.  They will live their for a year while Paul is on sabbatical.  The girls will attend Garden Homes Lutheran School.  I am so excited for them!  The school is 95% black so they will no longer be in the minority.

And, Tiz's cheer team got a bid to go to nationals in Disneyworld over mother's Day!  

The excitement just keeps coming for them!

We stayed at Oshkosh till Friday aftet John's work when the Courtney, Paul, Tiz and Soli left for another cheer competition at the Dells.

John and I enjoyed a night out at Bismark's with Louisa and Tim.  It is always fun to hang out with them and I hope they never get tired of hanging with old people.

Tonight we are going to meet Joan and go out with her.

Tomorrow we do church and then take it easy!

There now you are all caught up!.
