Home again

We are back from AR. It was a good visit. Momma, Krispy, and Nutter are coming this weekend to watch Koty play ball then I get to keep Peanut next week while Krispy goes and gets her packing done and gets moved.

Today (and prolly tomorrow) Koty and I are going to Boomtown Days with Sally and the girls. Hope it doesn't start raining on us! Looks nice right now though. I wouldn't mind clouds though just to keep it cool.

The Joys of Summer

Brooke, Dakota, and Raegan at Big Spring Park

I haven't been keeping up with this much lately! We've been too busy running around. Our biggest past time has been visiting the library and playing w/ Sally and the girls. Hoping Big Spring Park pool will open soon so we can take them swimming.

On Monday, Koty and I are going to AR to see the fam there! We are so excited. Should have lots of pics (as long as I remember to take them and don't spend all my time holding Peanut!!!)

New books

Latest books have been Thank You, Amelia Bedelia (2.6), Amelia Bedelia and the Surprise Shower (2.3) and today was Bobo's Magic Wishes (2.4). Will have the last book for this year on the 14th. Have to have everything turned in by the 15th. Can't believe the end of the year is getting so close.

Had our field trip today to Fantastic Caverns. It was fun and the rain held off just long enough for us to get done at the park.

I'm listening to The Host on my mp3 player. I never thought I'd like the audio book thing but I like it loaded into my mp3 player because I'm mobile. Is a nice distraction when you are doing laundry and other mundane chores. The Host is not quite Twilight but has Meyer's easy reading style. Very easy to get into and stay with. I'm beginning to think she watches Stargate as the creatures in the story seem very Ga'ould-ish to me. Any thoughts by those familiar with both?

Busy weekend that started Thurs.!

We had half a day on Thurs. Mike came and picked Koty up from school. I had to stay for meetings and such. I ran to Joplin afterward to get the last of Koty's bday pressies. Once I got home and got dinner under control I started straightening up and doing laundry in preparation for our company that was coming Friday night and Koty's bday party next week. Ended up talking to my BFF for 2 1/2 hours as well. It was good to catch up.

Friday we were out of school so grocery shopping and more cleaning. Our friends got here just in time for dinner. We had tacos w/ all the fixin's. Lots of sitting around and BSing. Stayed up WAY too late but it was well worth it.

Up early(ish) on Sat. to get around and head to OK to see the fam. Went to Mema and Pepa's first for collaborative bdays (celebrated 5 bdays and one birth) and lunch. Mema's sketti!!!! YUM!! I finally got to meet Troy! Then we went to see Honey and Fred. Visited w/ them for a while and dropped in on Kami before we headed out of town.

Decided to stop in Vinita to have some McD's cuz it was 8 p.m. and we hadn't eaten yet. Mr. Slow Poke Jim took almost an hr to eat his 6 nuggets and small fries so here I was w/ an hr left to drive at 9 o'clock at night working off 4 hrs of sleep. Not the best combination but we did make it safe and sound.

While in OK, Koty got some birthday money and he decided to spend some on a Betta fish. He's been wanting one for a while and when the lil goldfish he got at the carnival died, he decided that he wanted a betta as a replacement when I suggested that he could buy another fish with his birthday money. So, today we ended up in Joplin at Petsmart since our pet store in Neosho isn't open on Sun. or Mon. We also visited Best Buy, the mall, and Game Exchange before we got the fish. He has named him "Abetta". I will post pictures once we get him settled in the tank.

So there's my weekend in a nutshell. Next weekend will be just as crazy!!
