We have been crazy busy the past few weeks. I can't believe it is the middle of June already. We have not had good weather. It has been overcast pretty much everyday. Now, it is humid and overcast.
Last week we had two baseball games and we won both games. There were good games. Nick had a few errors that resulted in arguing with his father from 1st base. He made a catch in center field that broke his glove, so needless, to say, the ball fell out! He hit great all week. Thank God, for the batting cage!
Lucy has not been feeling well the past few days. If it lasts much longer I am taking her to vet. The kittens are good and growing like bad weeds. Annie had a tick, I put flea and tick stuff on the dogs today and Lucy is acting REALLY sick now! It seems like when Ed gets sick, Lucy gets the same thing. Maybe, he is part dog...we know our dogs ARE part human...at least, they think they are!
We had a much awaited event in our home last week. MaryElizabeth turned 9 on Friday. We had a spa day at one of college's. It was FABULOUS! No! REALLY! it was! She had a great birthday. We had to go to dinner Thursday night because she had plans to go to a party on Friday night. Apparently, at the pool party at Crow Friday night, her little friend, Gus was chasing her around the pool. I was exhausted after a week of planning and party going...I was ready to put my feet up (literally) and I actually had a beer!
Teddy has been in MN for 5 days and will come home tonight. We are trying to get Jacob to go to the lake with us this weekend. It will be nice for Teddy to have friend down there. I really want to take the boat out Saturday night for a nice adult dinner...no kids, just adults...after all, it is Eddis' 44th birthday and Father's Day. I told him to go ahead and "spoil" himself with the new TV he has been wanting. I would just go buy it but I have no idea what he wants.
MaryElizabeth is now at camp for a week. I am sure they are having blast. I miss her already. I have her room almost done. I thought I had to get Teddy at 5 in Iowa City but now it is not until 8. Nicky and I will probably go out to dinner. Maybe even head to Iowa City and do a little birthday window shopping. I have cleaned MaryElizabeth's room so much that I think I tossed more than is in her room. I put polka dots on her dresser...it looks so cute. I think she is going to love her clean and organized room when she gets home.
This week and next bring a lot of doctor appointments. I can't wait to get this all over with. We are heading to lake in separate cars this weekend. The guys can go sooner and stay longer than the girls. It will be nice to get away for at least one day! I am driving the Iowa way down. Eric gave me another way to try.
Our deck is getting done and it looks great. Next onto the basement, it really is not going to be that big of a mess. It will be nice to have it fresh for the winter and have a fun bar. We have been playing Wii Dancing With the Stars and it is so much fun!
More to come as the week progress'....
