Another again...

Another weekend has come and gone - time truly flies. We had lots of plans this weekend with K's shower and Mac's birthday party. Family was in abundance and that made it so much more fun.

The shower was beautiful; again K was not just showered but poured upon. There are things she wants but not a thing she needs. She will have one more shower in C-Bus so hopefully wait until that is finished to go shopping. She looked so cute and she held up well. The food was deeeelish and the drinks were fantabulous! Homemade cherry limeades - from Sonic website recipe!

Mac's bday party was very nice; the weather was perfect, family, friends, and many, many, many gifts. She will have much to do until the holidays roll around when mom and dad will need to build another room on the house. Ha, a house is never big enough.

We have family in now from yonder...for a couple of weeks...lots more will happen I'm sure.

Have a great week!

Timely...

Once in a great while I am on time...today is the first for quite a while. R is gone this week, thru Saturday late. Dinners will be sparse. So far cereal for breakfast, leftovers for lunch and then, hmmmm.

Monday - see above
Tuesday - out w/girls(not my girls)
Wednesday - Baked Potato and broccoli
Thursday - shop for shower and maybe I will pick something up at the store
Friday - K and B will be here so we will see, maybe B will cook? (If you are reading, what do you think?)
Saturday - K's shower
Sunday - Mac's 1st bday - just cannot believe it!

We had Mac overnight Friday - so much fun. I think R and K saw how much that little one can move. She does not stop unless she is eating or sleeping. We took her to the airport to watch planes; she tracks them over the house so thought why not start showing her. We went to the cell phone lot at the end of the runway in Detroit. She was watching, and running around and then the big one came. A 747 - wow! It was huge and she was in awe, just staring for the few seconds it was in front of us coming our way and then when it went past. It took pretty much the whole runway to get in the air and was right overhead. So cool...can you tell I love planes too?

Yesterday, closed the pool and went to Sandusky to meet my family for an 18th birthday dinner for my nephew. Can't believe that one either. Time certainly flies.

Next week is K's 2nd shower, found out she is having a 3rd in C-Bus from her teacher friends. That is so nice. K has pretty much everything done as for her organizing, she is pretty excited. She got a lot done this weekend. And so the week begins -- have a great one!

once again...

Yes, better late than never. Busy weekend and busy week so far. I have Mac every day right now, I love it but I think it bothers her parents. Not cause she is with me just that she is with me. Got that? Ha! I think they think they are overdoing it with my time. I can take her with me if I need to go anywhere; just not the doc's. I need to get a flu shot they say - hmmm - never had one but guess it would be a good thing too. For her. She has a routine during the day and it works for me so...we work around that schedule.

K had her first shower this past weekend and really Kirby was poured upon. It was so nice. K and R have so many nice things to provide for their baby. Too much probably. The diapers from their diaper party, I don't even know where to begin. They need extra shelving in their basement to keep the diapers that will be worn when the child is 2. Unbelievable! I know they will get used but seriously the stacks are as tall as me. K did well, she was tired but she did a good job hanging in there too. A few returns will need to be made but only 7 items.

We will have Mac this weekend while mom and dad attend a football game out of town. R is so excited. I think we might take her to the airport to watch airplanes; she loves to watch them while outside way up high and she is a tracker. She hears a plane and looks up to find it in the sky. We are about an hour from the airport so they are up there but you can see the colorful tails of the planes. She finds them and points. We'll see how the weather holds.

I am trying to teach her to blow out a candle for her upcoming birthday. I have a candle stuck in a hot dog bun and I light it and have her blow. Too funny! We had a pillow fight today, it really is just rolling around on top of the pillow or covering her with the pillow, but she enjoys.

J was to have surgery today but things happened that made them cancel. I hope and pray that he will be all right. I really don't think I should visit though cause something is going on with my ears and I don't want to spread an infection in the hospital, so I will stay away for now.

Onward to finish the week out and have hopefully some fun and relaxation this weekend. Bye for now.

Still...

Still here just late again....oh well. Had a busy weekend; helping K & K/R get things done. Door hung, key holder, hooks, door knobs at one K. Then on to the other K; futon to school, painting, pics hung, basement cleaned and organized, bathroom clean, dusting and sweeping, furniture moved...hmmm, think that is about it. 10.1 bike ride and lots of fun over the weekend. Home on Sunday and then to complete our tasks at home. Mowing, laundry, R pack, dinner with Mac, J & K.

Since R is gone dinners will be sparse this week...
Tuesday - Chinese
Wednesday - Ham steak, macaroni salad
Thursday - Baked Potato
Friday - R home so we will see

This upcoming weekend is the first baby shower for K, excited for her and R. They will have lots to put together and lots to wash I am sure. Bye for now.

Let's see...

Where to begin - weekend was to be spent camping however with rain and J being called to China that just didn't work out. So instead we camped at home; G & J spent the night Friday and Saturday. Homemade pizzas on Friday and German food for Saturday. We missed the GAF due to camping and to save money R made potato pancakes with the recipe from GAF. So good and much less expensive and without all the amateur drinkers. Much more fun for us!

Yesterday was my bday and I had a lot of people call which was really nice. R was off and Mac was here, we had a good day. We went to the park to play with Mac, such fun! Went to dinner with J & K and Mac; it was good and fun too. Today I am heading to CBus to attend dr. appts. with K. She is struggling with this baby making. No really just the medical side of things.

Anyway - the menu....
Monday - El Camino
Tuesday - CBus
Wednesday - driving home
Thursday - Salmon, rice, veggie
Friday - Back to CBus

Hopefully this weekend we will be helping the girls get a couple of things done and taking a bike ride on Saturday or Sunday morning (maybe both). Need to get back on the excercise trail. Have a great week.
