OOH! This could be the most action-packed weekend EVA!!! (or ever, for you grammatically correct people!) So last night I went to Herbie's Braroque flute recital...I love Herbie. Obviously. Because Baroque music is like some sort of fancy torture. It all sounds the same!! But Herbs did an AWESOME job!
Then I went with Jill to hang with the Frenchies at Beezer's house. She had made a super yummy dinner and dessert. Yay! I was starving.
Then we all went to the Longbranch to see the Truckstop Preachers. The boys were their typical entertaining selves. Nathan was especially animated last night. He was hilarious! And the people-watching there was amazing. All I can say is SHAMWOW! From the girls in the skirts that would not have fit my one-year-old niece to the five hundred pound man to the dude whose belt buckle was as big as Jill's face...it was out of control. I almost never say this about myself, but I was lookin' pretty good last night in comparison!
With the exception of the really bad music from the DJ between sets we had a great time.
More activity to come! I'll post later about my fun time at the CIRCUS! I'm editing the pictures right now. I've got to hurry so I can take a nap before dinner! And Sunday....RENT!!!!
So far, I'm lovin' Stephanie's Weekendpalooza! :)

Happy Birthday, Sadie!!!
Today is my Sadie's birthday!!!! Eleven years ago today, a litter of adorable cocker spaniel puppies was born. Eleven years ago this March, I brought the most beautiful one of those puppies home to live with us. She was so cute and tiny!!! She used her sweet puppy face on Mom and won her over very quickly! She has been and continues to be the best dog ever. Check back later in the week for Sadie's retrospective.
Sadie started her day with her least favorite activity. I made her take a bath on her birthday. I know that was mean, but she really needed it so she would be beautiful and clean for her birthday party. She was mad at me for a while...
Then she got to go for a ride in the car. I dropped her off at Mom and Dad's and went to church. After church, we had Sadie's birthday lunch! Colin came over to pet her. Brenna decided to get in on the act too. Sadie was very sweet and let them both pet her on her back.
After lunch, we had Sadie's birthday cake. Yes, it was real cake. Eggs, oil, sugar, butter. Real cake. She's a special dog. I was trying to show her the cake, but she wouldn't come out from under the dining room table. Mom tried to get her to come out too. Then we realized that we were on the wrong floor. Sadie is very particular about what floor she walks on.
When we realized we were on the wrong floor, we moved to the carpet and she came right over. Silly dog.
She got to eat a piece too!
She was a very happy dog. She got to spend her day with her family, she got to eat cake, and Meredith brought her a box of cookies!!

Children's Choir...Week Three
Wednesday is children's choir night! I got some more (and I think better) pictures this time. It was FREEEEEEEZING in our room, so we started with Father Abraham to get our blood moving! Here are a few pictures from that.
We sat down for a few more songs, including the Arky song, which I'm confident they'll all be able to sing soon!
We were so cold, we decided to go down to the fellowship hall for game time. They were having Bible study right down the hall, so we had to tiptoe!
We played musical chairs for fun.
It got us all warmed up! After prayer time, seeing that it was almost time for dismissal (or so we thought) we headed back to our room. And waited. And sang. And waited. And sang. And waited. Apparently, there was some serious Bible studying going on...
So we opened the door. And sang (VERY LOUDLY) Father Abraham again. With all the wacky movements. Parents began showing up shortly thereafter. =)
Hey, you do what you gotta do...

Hangin' with B
Yesterday during the snow day fail, I went over to Meredith's to hang out with Brenna while Mere and Colin went to the dentist. Well, the original plan was to go over there and play in the snow with Colin and Brenna, but...well...you saw the pictures.
Anyway, Mere and Colin had an appointment with the dentist, so I went over to watch Brenna so she didn't have to go to the dentist too. (There's not much need for her to go. She only has the two teeth.)
Colin and I made some pictures before they left. We were apparently having bad face days, so it took awhile to get a good one.
Colin and Meredith took off and Brenna and I had some fun time playing together. She was being super cute. She played with some of her toys. She took off to the kithcen to play with her fridge farm. I gave her some of her puffs snacks, mostly because I like the look on her face when I hand her one. SO cute! And we played our game with my "shiny". For some reason, she finds it hilarious to take my necklace and shove it in my face. Whatever. It makes her laugh. I took some pictures while she was doing that. =)
Good times. =)

Snow Day!!! (but Weather. Fail.)
So all day yesterday, all we heard was "the snow is coming". Get ready for the snow. Two to six inches of accumulation. Does this look like two to six inches to you????
But I got a phone call at 3:30 this morning. "No school today!" Woo hoo!!! That was believeable. When I looked out the window, it was snowing really hard. Then at 5:00, another phone call. "No school today!" Um, yeah. Got that message. Thanks! So I looked out again. Still snowing really hard, but there was no more on the ground than before. Um, ok. I got up around 8. These pictures pretty much show the extent of my snow. And then came the messages from others. About their two inches. Or their three inches. And how it was still snowing. It was still snowing at my house too. But there was never more on the ground than this. And then came their pictures. And my angry eyes.

I was very glad to have the day off. Snow days are great! They're better when there's actually some snow to play in!!!
I can only assume that there are yard gnomes in my yard that stole my snow.

sunshine
puppies
rainbows
cupcakes
babies
pink
macaroni and cheese
snowmen!!!! (or snow dwarves, as the case may be around here...)
There. Didn't want anybody to worry. =D
