Day spent with Rylee...

Beth was up before me this morning as most mornings. I took a shower and headed to Dawn's house to watch Rylee. She was still sleeping when Dawn left around 9:45am. I finally went up at 11am and opened the door and turned off her fan. We was awake, but not ready to get up. I laid out her clothes and when back downstairs. She came down dresses about 20 minutes later and had some milk. Beth stopped and got lunch and came up around 1pm. Rylee di not feel like going anywhere today, so we stayed home and played. Dawn came home around 3:30pm and we headed home. We spent the rest of the day decorating the inside of the house and wrapping presents. We hope to do the outside decorating on Monday when it is a little warmer.

Movie day...

We were both up before 8am. I took a shower and Beth took one about 15 minutes later. Dawn and Jo dropped off Rylee around 8:45am. We left the house around 9:15am and headed to Oaks. we stopped at BJ for a few things and then meet Kyle, DJ, and Payton at the movie theater. We got our tickets to see frozen and headed in. There were quite a few people there and we sat at the top. The kids had a great time and loved the movie. It will be purchase as soon as it is on DVD. We picked up lunch at McDonald's and came home. There were too many people out and the roads were a mess. Dawn picked up Rylee around 3:30pm. I put up the ornament tree in the dining room and will do a little more decorating tomorrow. Rylee called and asked us to come up and have dinner with her, so we did. I played with Rylee after dinner, while Dawn and Beth move some stuff in the dining room. we came home around 10pm and I am so ready for bed. We are watching Rylee again tomorrow as they have a funeral to go to and we hope to get the Christmas light  and maybe some decorations.

Happy Thanksgiving...

We were up and at the gym by 8:45am. we came home took showers, had breakfast, and read the paper. We left around 1pm to go to Beth's brother house to see Grayson. We had not seen him since he was born and he is a cutie. We then headed to Dawn and Jo's house. We had dinner around 3pm and it was so good. There were about 11 people total and we had a lot of food. Rylee opened her birthday presents and sing Happy Birthday. We then went to Michael's and Wal-Mart before coming home. What a great day.

Wrapping...

We were up and at the gym by 9am this morning. We came home and got the lights and wrapping paper from attic. We took showers and Beth had to go see her brother. I went to target for a few things and came home. I had lunch and started the laundry. Beth was home around 1:30pm and she had lunch. She then went to Home Depot and Lowe's. It was a winter mix of sheet, snow, and rain all day long. The next five days are going to really cold, but moisture free. Just want to say Happy Birthday to my step day, Ken!!!!!

Snow short lived....

We were both up early this morning. Beth had a dentist appointment at 9am and I went to the gym. I got home about 10 minutes before Beth. I took a shower and had breakfast. I then left to go do some shopping at Wal-Mart and then got my eyes checked. I came home around 1pm and had some lunch. We left around 1:30pm to go see the doctor about Beth's shoulder. He said that she had tendonitis in it and may have a small tear, but nothing to worry about. He gave her a cortisone shot and will start some PT to help gain movement in it. We then went to Staples, AC Moore, and the grocery store. We were back home around 4pm. I then went to Michael's and a different grocery store. We had dinner and then went up to Jo and Dawn's house. Rylee's class made me a thank you card for the treat I sent today. It was so sweet of them. It only snowed for about 3o minutes with some sleet mixed in. It then changed to rain for the rest of the day. It will rain all night and all day tomorrow, before turning really cold for the next 5 days.

Turkey cookies...

Beth got up and had a sore back, so she went to see Dr. Karen for an adjustment. I started making cookies. I made a lot more than I needed, but that is ok. We to a quick trip to Michael's to get some orange icing. We had lunch and then started decorating the cookies and making them look like turkeys. I think they turned out pretty good.

 

 

 

 We then had to go to the mall and get something I purchased off the yard sale site. We then dropped off the cookies for Rylee to take to school tomorrow. It was another cold day and more cold weather on the way. we might even see snow by the week-end

Cold football party...

We slept until 8:30am this morning and boy was it cold. The temperature gauge said 23 degrees and the wind was blowing. We took showers and had breakfast. I has to make cole slaw and French onion dip for the party. We got everything set up downstairs and around noon I cooked French fries and onion rings. Everyone started showing up right around kickoff and we all settled in to watch the Red Zone. Beth had several individual bottles of beer, so she had a beer tasting party. Out of the 10 plus types, they found 3 they all liked. I had made apple crisp for dessert and it was a big hit. The weather will be cold the next few days, so welcome winter.

Shopping...

We were up early this morning. We picked up DJ at 7:30am and headed to Wal-Mart. I had dreams last night that we would get there too late and what we wanted would be gone. The parking lot was almost empty and I saw several people carrying out the items I knew were part of the sale. I saw line and went straight to the item and they had lots of them. So we picked it up and then went to breakfast with DJ. It was a little anti-climate, but we saved a lot and don't have to go out on Thanksgiving night. After breakfast, we dropped DJ off and came home for showers. We left around 10:30am and had several place to go to and lots of shopping to do. We made it home around 3pm and Gayle came back over to fix the water pipe downstairs. She left around 4pm and out again we went. We finally made it home around 7pm and had some dinner. Now it is bed time and we are both really tired, but a lot of Christmas shopping done.

Laundry day...

We both got up around 8:30m this morning. I started laundry and we had breakfast. Beth decided to rip out the sink behind the bar and replace the faucet. She went to Lowe's to get the parts and I decided to look at the back porch light. It would not come on the last few days. So I got then ladder out and started to up fold it and bang, it smashed my thumb and boy did it hurt. I climbed the ladder only to find the light broke from the stem. Beth came home and we had some lunch. I was finally able to get the broken stem out and replace the blub and it was working again. I left to go pick up Rylee from school as Dawn was making cupcakes for Rylee's party on Saturday. Gayle came over to help Beth with the plumbing. They were able to get the hot water pipe fixed, but had problems with the cold. Gayle will come back over tomorrow to work on it again. We had grilled cheese sandwiches and soup of dinner.

We came home, put everything away, and then rested. The weather was starting to turn cold and the wind was really blowing. Beth decided to take the bar sink downstairs apart and see it she could fix it. Boy what a mess and what a project it will be.
