Another Week

Another week begins!

The weather was absolutely beautiful this morning! The kids and I were up and ready early enough to walk to church this morning. We stopped at the Express station to get Tim a Sunday paper and myself a cappuccino. Gotta love gas station White Chocolate Caramel! Cheap and tasty!

Our Sunday School class was pathetically small. I have the best teacher in the world (my husband ;-), so I really don't know why more adults don't attend Sunday School at our church. Something to pray about, I suppose... We finished up the Just Walk Across the Room series. Pretty soon we'll be on Sunday School break for the summer. Another thing I don't understand - why does Sunday School stop during the summer months?

Isaiah was playing so well and having such a good time in the nursery that I left him there during the church service. Church is really difficult for me with two little ones, so I didn't feel too guilty leaving him in there. It's not like I do that every week; actually, this was the first time that I let him sit out of church since he was home sick with RSV in January. I'm sure there's no permanent damage.

After church there was a family event - hamburger & hot dog lunch with a juggler. Dan Kirk did a fantastic job! I have actually seen him perform at an assembly at school before. It was really cool to see his show with the Christian element added in. Isaiah seemed to enjoy it, even if he was having melt down periods because he desperately needed a nap (which never happened). Did I mention that Isaiah ate THREE hot dogs for lunch? WOW! I'm going to need to find a second job so that we can afford to feed him!

Not much was happening this weekend. I took my computer in to the Geek Squad at Best Buy. It's official; I need a new computer. The geeks sent me home with a sale ad. The price to fix my computer would not be worth it. To put more money into it when I could buy new for just a bit more makes more sense. The fans are kaput which explains why it continually shuts itself off. So, I'll be computer-less for awhile. We're going to do some shopping around and try to hold out for the Memorial Day sales. My blogging, tweeting, Facebooking, and e-mailing will be pretty sparse from now until I get a new 'puter. (I'm using Tim's right now; he brings it home from the office on the weekends.)

Sorry this is so long. A quick Green Mill pizza update before I go - Tim e-mailed the company pictures of our pizza. They replied back with a very nice apology, and they're sending us 2 coupons for free frozen pizzas and a gift card to their restaurant! Sweet!

Happy week people,

The Pizza

Whenever we visit Tim's family in Minnesota, we like to eat at a restaurant called The Green Mill. Tim was very excited to find their pizza in the frozen foods section at Festival.

But, seriously. What is up with this pizza?
I followed the directions on the box - I promise! This is not the first time this has happened, and they are really kinda expensive for frozen pizza. I would not suggest you buy one.

Are You Still Out There?

Can you tell that I went back to work? I have NO TIME to do anything. You should see my pile of laundry in the basement.

I know that I've been neglecting the blog. I'm going to try to be better. I promise.

Isaiah is so happy that I finally got the basement cleaned out. He likes to go down there and play while I sort through all of our junk. Can you say Goodwill??? A rummage sale is too much work!

Mallory says, "Hi," too! :-) Don't you just love this dress?!?! It is so adorable on her!

Rewind

Rewind time back to Tuesday, April 7th. The New Kids on the Block concert was SO MUCH FUN! They really did put on a good show. Enjoy some of my many pictures below.

My Donnie Wahlberg t-shirt from the late 80's still fit!

Oh my goodness, it's almost show time!

Jordan Knight - He was my sister's fav. I took this picture for you!

I always knew they'd come back... If you haven't checked out their new cd The Block, you really should. The new music is very fun.

Dirty Dancing (one fo their new songs) was probably my favorite part of the performance.

They had a second, smaller stage behind us that they performed about 4 songs at. Afterwards, security walked them back up to the main stage. We were sitting on an aisle, and they walked RIGHT NEXT TO US! I am NOT kidding; they were less than 3 FEET from me!!!!



Donnie Wahlberg

Well, Joe, you put the cheese crown on! He was a little reluctant because of You Tube. This isn't You Tube, but it's still the Internet!





NO, DON'T LEAVE!

Of course, they had to come back to sing Hangin' Tough.

The Green Bay Packer shirts were a nice touch! Usually, they end in Boston Celtics jerseys.

Thanks for the great show, NKOTB! Come back to see me again soon! :-)

Happy Easter!

Well, it's been an interesting day. Tim had church at 6:00 this morning. The kids and I met him at church for the pancake breakfast before attending the 8:00 service. Choir sang at both 8 and 10:30, but I brought the kids home right after singing at 10:30 to get the lamb in the oven - see the picture below!


Gotta love this one! Mallory wore her first dress today! So sweet!


This is hilarious! Jessie is hiding behind Isaiah, holding him up. Please DON'T say, "Oh, he's going to be a pastor just like his daddy!" We wanted to take a cute picture, not force him down a career path. Besides, it seems he's already on his way down a path of identifying circles, squares, triangles, rectangles, ovals, stars, hearts, and octagons for a living. Either that or he'll be a train engineer.

I made a lamb!!! It turned out really good, too!
So, this will be a quick post. Isaiah has developed that wonderful stomach flu that's going around. I'm going to go take care of him and pray that the rest of us don't get it, too.

Visit to the Barber Shop

The pouty face didn't last long. I thought ahead and brought his favorite book with us - The Potty Train.

"When you feel like you have to go, climb aboard the potty train!"

Mallory waited paitently - for most of the time.

Daddy's turn to read to Isaiah.

All done! What a handsome boy! Ron did a super-fantastic job!

Milwaukee Pictures

Isaiah started the trip with a nap in the car.

We found a train for him to ride while I fed and changed Mallory.

Mallory's 1st night in a hotel

Isaiah at the Milwaukee Public Museum

Mallory at the Milwaukee Public Museum - sleeping almost the entire time!

Mallory! Tickle, tickle!

Here's the only butterfly Isaiah liked. He was rather scared of the living butterflies!

Isaiah and Daddy eating lunch at TGI Friday's inside Miller Park - horrible prices, okay food, AMAZING view!
