Larry had an early appointment for a colonoscopy today. Everything went well I'm happy to say. While he was in there I had an hour or so to do some shopping so I went to a nearby AC Moore and bought a few things with one of my many gift cards. (photo of the day)

He was happy that all was well (and starving) so we celebrated and had brunch at the Grand Lux Cafe.

Later we went out to look for a new pickup truck and ended up signing on the dotted line. We will be the proud owners of a GMC Sierra truck by Wednesday. The salesman happened to be the father of one of Sophia's classmates at nursery school!

This evening Larry & I had a light dinner at the diner in town and relaxed in our TV room.

It was good to chill out tonight.

Grand Prize winner!!!!

Took Nico to his library program today and he loved it....the problem is that he loved it too much cause he didn't want to leave when it was time to go. Unlike his usual self he threw himself on the floor when I tried to put his coat on to leave. He wanted to take home the crayons that he was coloring with. Note to self: bring our own crayons next week. He cried all the way home yelling "NO". That was a side that I've never seen before with him.

Tonight was the scrapbooking fundraiser at St Willy's. I was the lucky one that won the grand prize which was a $250.00 giftcard to AC Moore!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!( I had said at the beginning of the evening that I have a few giftcards to michaels that I haven't used yet because I have everything that I need already.) Leave it to me to win this one after making that statement.

Good night was had by all!

Overtime tonight

My daughter asked me this morning if I could possibly keep the grandchildren a little longer tonight as the new car they had ordered was finally in. ( with all the snow we had lately, all shipments had been delayed.) I was happy to oblige. Kate & Chris pulled up with their new Acura tonight and that is my photo of the day! I wish them safe and happy traveling in their new car!

Larry did the food shopping today and made dinner tonight. What's for dinner tonight?... Chicken soup and that is the photo of the day.
Tonight we are watching American Idol and I'm trying to get some laundry done.

It was lunch and playtime at McDonalds today...

We stayed and let the kids play for about an hour or so and as usual they had alot of fun. Now Nico has a little independance and can navigate on his own.

Tonight Jenn went out with a friend for dinner so Larry and I decided to try the texas Roadhouse for dinner.

We had a nice time and food was good.

Photo of the day: kids coming down the slide at "Old McDonalds" as Sophia calls it.

Dinner with Mom

Today is Mom's 94th birthday. We had celebrated with the entire family over the weekend but we wanted to have dinner with Mom on her actual birthday.

Joan picked up chicken from Boston Market for dinner. Katie and Jenn and Sophia came along. Kathy, Karen, Sarah and Pat all joined us. Pat brought a cake and we sang Happy Birthday.

Had a nice breakfast with Jack & Nan. We made waffles, omelettes, bacon and banana bread. Katie came over with the kids and they finally got to play with Aiden and get to know their cousin. After breakfast Kathy came by and we all took a walk around the neighborhood before saying good-bye. Jack, Nan, Katie and Aiden then left for the airport to fly back to Georgia. It was a fun visit and we enjoyed their company.
