March 25

Jamison got a big boy bed today. He loved it. We need to do some rearranging but first we have to get a frame. Brian has three in storage but they aren't the right type of course so we are going to have to purchase one. Not to excited about that. Jamison is busy jumping on his bed now instead of Campbell's

Happy Birthday Lori!

My college roommate turned 40 on St. Patrick's Day. Doesn't she look good! I have been planning to surprise her for lunch since January so besides the Friday before my birthday party this is the only day I have actually asked for off in January. Then her sister decided to have a surprise birthday party for her the Saturday before. So I decide to go down for that. Then my DH decides that I can't go out two nights in a row I need to choose either Friday after work (which has been planned for 3 week) or Lori's party. Since the work group was already giving me a little grief because I have been the one to leave early the last few times I knew I couldn't skip that. And I'm sure that was the one Brian was hoping I would forgo. I had Lori's birthday off so I knew I would still see her. It worked out great. I'm sure that she had no idea about it. I walked into her office and she was expecting her mom and dad. We had a great lunch. I got to hear how Mike is reacting to being an expecting dad. It's just like I knew it would be, he is just as nervous as Brian was the first time. They are both overprotective and worry about all the little things that you really can't do anything about. I was a little disappointed that she didn't have a baby bump yet, but I will see her again with one I know I will.

Happy St. Patrick's Day

What a beautiful day St. Patrick's Day was. Sunny and warm. It was almost 70 here.

Spring Break Monday

I got so much stuff done today it was amazing. First I was only on Facebook for 5 minutes this morning. Then we got much needed shoes for Campbell. Jamison and Campbell both have sandels for the summer now too. Then we got gas and checked out a new park to play at. We went to Hansen School as they built a new park this summer. Campbell was not to excited about it. He says Southdale still has the best park for schools. We attempted McDonald's for lunch. Jamison just did not eat as usual. Then home for naptime. The neighbors were out when we came home so I lost Campbell to the call of Star Wars. During nap I finished a quilt, I painted the board for the Upper Case Living saying below and I went through all my boxes in the garage. When Brian came home I had $55 worth of stuff to go to Goodwill in my trunk so he stayed home while I made my trip. Then Jamison got up and I took him to another park, to the recycling center to empty 2 tubs and to Wal-Mart to get milk and bread. When we came home it was time for supper. Bishop's has reopened at Crossroad's Mall and since this is one of Brian's favorite places to eat we headed over there for supper. When we came home it was homework time for Campbell, he has to write in his journal everyday this week. I put the saying on my board that I painted this afternoon and I started gathering items to give to my friend Lori for the baby. Whew! I'm tired, I think I will go to bed now. I hope tomorrow is just as productive.

Saturday & Sunday

Above is a February shot of Campbell after he lost his fourth tooth. You can actually tell this one is missing so I thought I better post.

So Saturday I didn't really get a lot done. Not that I planned to either. I don't have to be to work again until Thursday so I had time to do my list. I did some quilting and watched movies. Since I went out Friday I couldn't go down to Des Moines for Lori's surprise party. I don't think Brian understood that it was okay to bring the boys since we were to meet in a restaurant. But he wanted to also go to the boat show and he hadn't been out for (gasp!) 5 days. Heavens what should we do? Any way the only major thing I did on Saturday was pull Jamison's clothes out of the closet to go through it as we had a growth spurt. I still haven't gone through it.

Sunday since I quilted on Saturday I worked on scrapbooking. We went out for lunch with Ken and Lorraine. They took Jamison bowling and when they dropped him off for nap time they took Campbell went to the sports show. While it was nap time I went for a walk with Natalie since it was a beautiful spring day. We are both off on Wednesday so we have a play date with the kids. Brian and Campbell went to see about joining a gun club with no success. They will try again another day.

Friday the 13th

Friday night the work gang were going out and we were meeting at 4:42. I was a little late because Campbell was yelling at the xbox game because he was dying. We had to have a talk. I thought being just 5 minutes late I wouldn't be so far behind but no I find out MY BOSS let everyone go home early so I was 2 drinks behind when I got there. We had some shots on the owner and I need to find out what they were because they seriously tasted like cough syrup. But thank you Darren we did appreciate them and the free pizza. Go figure Terri's friend would know friends of Brian's now she is invited to the birthday party and I haven't invited them yet. We headed to the Triangle in Hudson for a few more drinks. Met Big Mike although at 6'5" I don't really think we need the "big" it's pretty much a given. Jeff and Natalie hit the dance floor. Oops they didn't have one. I do need to talk to Nick about his bartender. When half your clientele are sitting in one booth you should not make them come to the bar for drinks you should go out to them. I mean come on, you could go out to smoke stop by the table on your way back.
