Weekends of fun

Yesterday, Saige was supposed to have a basketball game.  We woke up to a text saying the game was pushed back, followed a little later with a text saying the game was cancelled. I was looking forward to watching her play, but the weather was crap, we kept hearing thing about the roads being terrible, and I was glad they chose to cancel it.  With the game being cancelled, that pretty much freed up the whole day.  Saige somehow decided that it was Ollie’s 4th birthday. She baked him some cookies.  She made chocolate chip, baked a few without the chocolate chips, and then after she got some for the dogs, she added the chocolate chips in for the rest of us.  The dogs were delighted by this. Jim drove Quincy in to work, and Saige rode along.  She somehow convinced Jim that the dogs had to go too, and that they had to stop off for birthday doggy treats.  I think the dogs had a good day!   Ollie really is a good dog. He honesty has the best manners of any dog I’ve ever met.  He always minds.  He is deserving of a special day.   

This morning was one of those mornings that even if you hate winter, you have to admire the beauty.  The freezing fog left behind a stunning winter wonderland.  Too bad we had to go out in it rather than looking at it out the window of our warm little house!   We went to mass, then dropped Quincy off at her boss’ house.   Last week, they asked her if she liked monster trucks.  She told them yes, so they bought her a ticket to go with them to the monster truck jam.  She was so excited to go!  She told me that they had a great time!   I cracked up because after the truck show, they stopped off to eat Mexican food at a restaurant in KC.  One would think, if you own a Mexican restaurant, that given the chance to eat out, maybe you grab a burger, or some Italian food.  So funny!  

Cameron was in Kansas City to see Lauren today.  She somehow got them tickets to the Chief’s game. Lauren loves the Chiefs.  Cameron does not. 

Which is why I was shocked to see him wearing red!  She must have some magical powers!   I’m sure they are having fun!  

Evie is spending the night tonight.  The girls have all been begging for a couple weeks.  I went back to see what they were doing around 8, and they were in bed and sound asleep.  I sure hope that doesn’t mean a super early morning on a day I don’t have to get up as early!  I do have to work tomorrow, Jim and the kids have the day off.  I have fingers crossed that the long weekend allows some people to get well, so that this week goes a little better at school.
