picture this.....
(check back later for images...i'm having
more technical difficulites!) :(

a night out with my husband!


emily at a slumber party!


kept amanda up so late she'll sleep 'til noon


a drizzly start to friday but it stopped before noon.
the US Amatuer golf tournament is going on this week
at hazeltine, right near the house
and the "met life" blimp just circles and circles -
it comes right over the house sometimes!
we all (not just the girls) think it's kinda cool.
i remember it from the PGA when it was here at
hazeltine a few summers ago. it parks up the hill
from our house at flying cloud airport.

gary got some really great passes for thursday
and of course it was rained out so he and my brother
went yesterday and they didn't tear their tickets
so he's going to go back on sunday....
my little scammer!!

amanda came along to drop emily off yesterday
and of course that just meant yet another mini
melt down...she didn't want to leave. i said
we could go back and have a waffle bowl of
ice cream back at the house and that pretty
much did the trick.
she ate really well yesterday, no whining or
complaining...i must be doing something right! :)
she did, however, have a melt down regarding the mail.
the fact that she doesn't get anything...so,
we filled out one of those request for a cataloge of
learning-coloring books in her name so now she'll
start getting all sorts of crap! ~sorry anne & pete~

9, amanda and i went to von maur yesterday.
oh, man! are there some cute things for little
girls! i sprung for a pair of embroidered jeans..
way too cute and a pair of wedgy sandals (end of
the season.........$7!! mom got some tops and
another pair of jeans. that was fun.

we go to pick emilly up at 11 today from
her slumber party. don't really have plans for today.
still haven't heard anything from my aunt about
their power or phones in owatonna?????

it was so nice to see gary last night. good reason
to shower! :) all you moms out there.....i understand
now about the shower thing! :)
it's been almost a week. i'm officially a parent...
i talked about the kids all the way to axel's in chan.
had a nice glass of cabernet and a big 'ol filet!
w/ mo-taters and a "cut-up" wedge salad....
sorry anne, i know you are struggling with menus
over there...i mean..under there! :)

could possibly be a pool day-not sure.
we've only had 1 day that we spent in the pool and
that was the first day. so, so much for the pool
being my babysitter! :)
don't get me wrong, i sit there too!

gotta get goin'...more later.
