Friday Fun--Thursday Catch Up

Thursday Kristin had some help with school. Chelsea was also very interested in helping, or maybe checking out Mary Mae!!

We're taking votes--which hairdo for Ryan?? MOM was so happy when he decided to get his hair cut. He said he was tired of me "Nagging" him to get it combed!

Friday started with us all up pretty early. Robert was heading off to Medford to visit his folks, I was headed out for a morning with Tracey, and as it turned out, Bill & Kids were off to do some "Mother's Day Stuff". How sweet!! I got it early, since neither kid can wait!! It was a very cool bird feeder....I will get pictures when it is nice out.

Tracey & I headed out to Courtney Creek Schoolhouse. (Sorry Margaret) It's a great place full of great treats for Mothers Day, from baked good and home made jams & jellies, to quilts, wall hangings, jewlery, and lots of other neat items. We came away empty handed, but had fun perusing the place...which was not as full as usual. Afterward, I hit Walmart for an oil change, and Tracey & I got out for lunch.

I headed home, just in time to get some ingredients in the bread maker to make rolls for supper, and then got a nap with Bill (after they kids gave me their Mothers Day gifts), and had a great surprise in the mail from a special person, who sent me a neat Mothers Day gift. I am so blessed to have such a special friend. Had a great short nap, and then headed to fix supper.

Kristin headed outside with her new rat toy, and the two rats. They love the rat ball, and Betty Lou really gets going. This was the first time Kristin put both in. They did great. They also loved being outside in the sunshine and the grass. Betty Lou was a bit afraid out of the ball, and kept trying to hide in Kristin's Skort! Mary Mae, on the other hand, was very curious....and ran as fast as she could from place to place! The O'Hara's arrived for supper, and Sean gave Bill hug. Declan went and ran right in there...a Declan Sandwhich! We had a great evening together, the adults visiting, and the kids playing. The girls did makeovers (*See Kimberly at the bottom with Tracey--she's beautiful!) We rounded out the night with some Wii Curling! Tracey did great! It was a wonderful night of sharing....and great to be back together.
