Nice weekend

It was a really nice weekend, considering we didn't do too much. With my Friday afternoon, I attempted to get a head start on laundry. Lesson learned, no matter how soon you start laundry, it never gets wrapped up until Sunday night! Picked up a couple of books at the library, no number two diapers this time, ice cream at drive in and home to relax the rest of the afternoon.

I met a couple of friends at a Irish pub for dinner and drinks and we listened to two cool guys play guitar and sing. One even wore a Dekalb hat, so I had to brag to Kyle about this. Was the nice wife and picked up ice cream upon a request from Kyle on my way home.

Saturday we filled up Ella's new pool, even had a line of both Kyle and I back and forth from the downstairs bathroom to provide warmer water for the pool. It was really cold! We even boiled two hug pots of water to off set the almost freezing temperatures! Ella and I then headed to get some groceries, Ella utilized the kiddy cart and had a blast, we always have the cart over-flowing with food. Then we made lunch, Kyle left to go to work, planting, and we watched Tom and Jerry, played kitchen followed by a three hour nap.

Once Ella rose, we were downstairs ready for the pool and spent the remainder of the day in the backyard.

I was Miss Homemaker and put a roast in the crock pot- one of the world's best inventions, and presto, dinner was waiting for us when we changed out of wet suits and Kyle walked in the door. We went for a walk and earlier that day made cupcakes to take to the new neighbors, they are very nice and have grandkids Ella's age. Later that night, after playing with Ella, Kyle and I settled in for the National Treasure movie, very good, and being that some of it was centered in South Dakota, we got a peak at what the western side of the state looks like.

Sunday, Ella ran a pit of a temp, maybe new teeth so we skipped church, I worked on a Mexican dish for dinner this evening (Monday) and we went into town. We went to the car wash, Kyle's truck was in desperate need of a cleaning. Then we headed to the super-huge golf store, where Kyle got to get new golf shoes for Father's Day and check out new clubs (this is his anniversary gift), Ella did it again. Something about public places give her the ability to cause me to grab her and run out of the building. So after a changing, we played hide and seek in the store while Kyle did who know what. Finally, we got the shoes and headed to lunch at Apple Bees. This followed a stop to Staples for office supplies, Ella and I hung out in the truck and I chatted with a friend while Miss Ella slept. Then to Target for new pillows for Kyle and I, sunscreen, and some new tops and outfits for Ella.

After all of these errands we went home and spent the rest of the afternoon in the pool, several of the neighbors came over and played with us.

Later that evening, the three of us loaded up in the truck, stopped at the neighbor girl's lemonade stand and drove around looking at farm land. It was really fun, we saw some beautiful farms and Ella enjoyed the cows and dairies we went by.

I wrapped up the last of the laundry and poor Ella continued her up and down on her fever, it was a long evening, but no fever today. I believe it to be a combination of lots of sun, and teeth.
