Weekend with Girls

This weekend the girls and I are hanging out as Angie takes a short trip to the beach with friends!  I will try to take lots of pictures and post them.  Tonight Sam, Stella, and I are watching How To Train Your Dragon, courtesy of Nana Cheri and Papa Rob.  They were kind enough to watch the girls this afternoon while Angie headed for the beach. 

If we can make it until Sunday without a hospital trip, a missing chicken, and minimal meltdowns by everyone it should be an enjoyable weekend!

On the slate tomorrow is Stella's soccer game followed by a gigantic blanket fort we will build inside the house!  The trick will be getting the house back in normal order before the General returns Sunday.

Update

Several weeks have passed since last post.  Lots of action on the home front.  We've aquired 3 more chickens.  I went to Arizona to visit one of my best friends.  Stella continues to rip it up on the soccer field.  Both the girls participated in the school jog-a-thon and raised over $500.00 each for their school!!  Kate continues to go to physical therapy and is doing great!  Claire is mostly into shoes, which long term could cost me a fortune!!

Several days ago Kate said asked Angie if she could have some gummy bears and Angie said NO.  Kate then said, "oh come on Big Mamma, why can't we have gummy bears for dinner?" 

The weather has been great in Portland considering the time of year.  Angie and Kate cleared out the garden and prepped it for the winter. 

Weekend Update

We all packed up Friday night and headed to Eugene for the big Duck game!  Angie, Erin Regali, and I went to the game.  Wow, it was a great game to watch.  The stadium is SO loud.  College GameDay was in town.  Angie, Sam, and Stella got up at 5:30 AM and went.  They had a good time but everyone is tired tonight from the long weekend.  Pops and Grandma Connie watched all the grandchildren during the game.  Either Kate or Claire dumped out all the bird seed in the pantry at one point.  Pops was called in to sweep it all up, and all 6 girls watchedto make sure he did it properly!!
