Busy Weekend

Friday night we had Tom's niece and ex-sister-in-law over for dinner. They are in town for nephew's first Northwestern Football game. He was on the team last year, but he was a red shirt then. So this was a big day. Tom even took the girls to see the game Saturday.

Saturday I went with some of my family to drop my sister off at college. This was bitter sweet. I am so happy that she is going away for I know she will love it, but at the same time I and the girls sure will miss her. I don't mean just for babysitting either. She has been such a big part of the girl's life these past 2 years. It will be great to see how their relationship changes now. I know B is so looking forward to lots of mail from Aunt Vic.

I too am a tad bit jealous for I think I might like to go away to college again. I mean have everything in my room, a big bathroom I never have to clean, food prepared for me 3 times a day, no kids, no husband... Sounds good doesn't it? but then I think about the things I'd have to give up... yeah I still want to go back :)

Since it has been raining non stop all day, I have been at the end of my rope. The girls have been going nuts for most of the day. It was so bad this morning that I took them out in the rain for a puddle walk. Even daddy came with us. It was kinda fun except for all the darn mosquitoes. But the girls had a blast going in all the puddles they could find and getting totally wet. They did have rain boots and rain coats on, but still very wet.

This afternoon, B and I went to the movies while the other two members of the family took naps. It was fun. I have never gone with just her. We saw Ratatouille. It was cute. Not the best kids movie, but it worked.

Still feeling lazy, we had a Grandma inspired "nibble night" for dinner. This means we just eat nibble type foods for dinner. B loves this. I like it too, for there is no real cooking or cleaning involved.

Lucky for me the day is about over.
