Back to the Business of Blogging

It was one of the best weekends EVER!
It all started Friday afternoon when Wyatt's much anticipated entertaining adventure began.
We went to Shannon's and low and behold there was Shannon, Katherine, and a third girl child standing in the driveway waiting to be picked up.
What could I do?
It's not like I could just leave her standing in the driveway of some other kids house.
So Leighanne jumped in the middle seat squealing and laughing as we headed for home.
They had a blast singing, dancing and playing, and to my and Wy's amazement, little girls like to clean.
Those three had his room ready for the white glove in no time, so in my book, they are welcome back ANYtime.


Ok, here's a funny story that I hope will still be funny even in it's condensed version.
We were on our way home from the pool and I was trying to decide if I should drop Leighanne off at her house or have her Mother meet us at Shanon's.
I asked Leighanne where she lived and she told me in a white house.
There was my answer.
Meet her Mother at Shanon's.
On the drive there we had a conversation that went like this....

Me: Leighanne, do you live in a new house or an old house?

Leighanne: Old house

Me: A city house or a country house?

L A: A country house

Me: Do you have animals?

L A: Yes, we have 84 chickens!

Me: 84 Chickens! Wow that's alot of eggs!

L A: Oh no, we'll pluck em' and butcher em'! Dad got 80 of em' cause they were only .50 a piece.

Me:: 80! wow, but I thought you said you had 84?

L A: I did, the neighbor gave us 8 more.

Me: Well honey, that makes 88....

L A: I know, the dog got 4!

Great story.

Gina showed up late Friday night and that made for the ending of a near perfect day!

Saturday, Wendy and Gina went to the Coast and the Aquarium.
The weather was good and they took some great pictures at the fish emporium, had lunch, and just did the tourist thing all afternoon.

Mike went to work at about 3:30 on Saturday and got home at 5:00am Sunday.
Needless to say he wasn't very entertaining.
The girls and Wyatt and I went to lunch Sunday afternoon and got to wear big Mexican birthday hats and get free ice cream.
That was FUN!
Wyatt and I came home and Wendy and Gina continued with the party preparations and hosted the best birthday party ever : )
We had a hamburger cake, Subway sandwiches and beer and it was all just perfect (the hamburger cake was a regular cake frosted to look like a hamburger, it wasn't really a hamburger.) 
My Mom was here and even GK was in a party mood, (kind of)

I planted all my flowers in the patio planter, it turned out SO pretty.
Lot's of coleus and some begonias and a bunch of other stuff.
I'll take pictures as it fills in.

So, back to the same' ol same ol' today.
Wyatt goes to school and Wen goes to work.

I don't know if Mike work's today or not, but the word is, after memorial Day is when things get really busy.

I have to go wake up Wy.
Have a great day
