Okay, I Lied

No one expect anything else from this blog (not that there were any expectations to begin with)....anyway, no post and no pictures. KK got the stomach virus in the middle of the night Friday night and the Dad and me camping trip was off. KK was so sad, Em was a little glad and Chad was undecided. He wanted to take the girls camping, but the temp here was 40 degrees; cold for us. And did I mention, that I had a weekend planned alone??? Well, I still went to dinner with my great friends Saturday night, Chad stayed home with the girls and I thoroughly enjoyed myself. I rarely have any alone time (for myself) partly b/c I just don't know how to do that! Anyway, I have to work on that. I went out for 3 hours to dinner with my friends Saturday night and really had a great time; it gave me a little re-charge. I did plan to scrapbook and get a lot done; I haven't done any scrapbooking since KK's 3rd birthday (I am ashamed to say she if quickly approaching 12 years old!). Didn't do that.....oh well, for another day.

A Good Post A Comin'

I promise a good post is coming. With pictures. This weekend Chad is taking the girls on a Dad and me campout. First campout ever! First time I think Chad has had them alone. And more important, KK is 11 and I don't think I have ever been alone without anyone. No girls, no Chad. What will I do?

CALL ME CRAZY!

Yes, that's what I said. Another day in the adventures of Fudgie. My friends at work say I should write a book about this monkey; after all, he is part of the family. Well, yesterday I took the girls to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. Great movie. I loved it, girls loved it, Fudgie came and loved it. Fudgie stayed. Of course, I didn't know this until 9:00 p.m. last night. KK came in with sad eyes and said, "I can't find Fudgie". I already knew. Well, I will call the movie theater and find out if he is in the lost and found. Guess what, the movie theater is automated; you cannot get a live person on that phone if you wanted to give away 1 million dollars. So, you know what I had to do. . . . I loaded the kids up in the car, in their pajamas and headed up to the movie theater. (Sidenote, Chad was working or none of this would have taken place-he thinks the monkey should stay home-don't tell him, but he's right). Anyway, get to the window, crabby window woman says, "Nope, no stuffed monkey in here"-she looked really concerned (can you feel the sarcasm? Of course, why would anyone else be concerned about a stuffed monkey? Anyway, I proceed to the theater where we had seen the show. Of course, another movie is playing, but I walk right up to where we were sitting and asked the people if I could feel under their seats; these nice people actually gave me their cell phones to use for light! Long story short, Fudgie was behind the seats, against the wall, in a ball. Luckily the little guys who clean the theater weren't very thorough that day. Our family is now complete again. I thought KK and Em were going to cry when I came back out with the monkey. The things we do for our kids. . .I guess I'm a little attached to him to:)

Playing!

Well, it's been 2 weeks since I posted b/c we have been nothing but playing, and working. Well, during the week is full of homework, dance, homework, housework and homework! On the weekends, when Chad is not working, we are playing. Last weekend, here in Louisiana, was Mardi Gras. Which meant, we got a two-day holiday. And we took advantage of it! We took off to Shreveport and went to Sci-Port, which is a little science experiment place. The girls had a blast. We ate well, spent-the-night in a really nice hotel (thanks to Aunt Ann), and saw a movie (Paul Blart-Mall Cop) hilarious if you have a sense of humor like ours! Ever since I was little I have loved hotels. Not so much now since I realized how many people stay there. . .anyway, getting off track. It always made me feel like even if I was an hour away, I was on a vacation b/c I was in a hotel. My dad is the same way. Moral of the story, it was fun. These pictures show the girls on a bed of nails, and Chad and I "waiting it out". They had a great time and always love going there.
