Friday night we started the weekend off right by going and having supper with Brandon's grandparents. The menu consisted of spaghetti, brown bread with butter, broccoli and warm strawberry pie with ice cream--that was scrumptuous!! She sure did not help me with my weight loss goal....
Speaking of weight loss goals....for Lent I gave up candy! Every kind of candy. Kind of makes me sad :( But I think this will be a good boost to the weight loss help.
Okay, back on track. After supper we hung out with the great-grandparents. It is so much fun to just sit and talk with them. Brandon's grandpa always has stories to tell. He was in the Army and has told some doozies about that--especially when they had to eat whatever they could find at times. I tell you what, I would NEVER make it having to do that!! I guess I am a wuss when it comes to stuff like that. Brandon's grandma is such a sweet lady. She has always been like another grandma to me; always so attentive and concerned about me not getting enough to eat, or making sure I am warm enough, etc. Just a typical grandma :) However, I felt bad because we were a little late getting to their house and by then Maddie was ready to go to bed. She was pretty fussy the whole night. Emma made up for it though. She took grandma's hand and made her play with bracelets and dolls all evening long! We sat and watched them and some basketball with grandpa and finally had to go home. A nice, relaxing Friday.
Saturday was a busy day. We got up very early so we could get the girls ready for pictures. We had them taken at JCPennys. They did a wonderful job. The guy that did them was so wonderful with the girls. Emma wanted nothing to do with him at first, but he worked and worked with her and he eventually had her laughing so hard! I hope he does our pictures every time we are there, I may have to request him. We had the girls wear IU outfits. I know IU is not the best team right now, but we like the school and so we show our pride (even though I did attend Purdue). However, I like both schools...there are people in Indiana that do like both (though they are few and far between!!!) After pictures, we went home to have lunch and rest for a few hours. We then headed out to Western Bowl for our niece, Chelsea's eighth birthday party! We did this last year as well. I was about 8 weeks pregnant with Maddie and I remember we had pizza. That made me so sick, I still couldn't eat it this year!! Emma had a blast bowling and playing with the games. She also loves to see Chelsea and her other cousin, Maxine. She just looks up to them so much. Chelsea is such a cutie. She got so embaressed as we sang "Happy Birthday" to her. She is so girly too. I love it-she wanted little make-up stuff and I can't wait for Emma (and Maddie) to be more into that stuff too!
After we got done there, Brandon had to go back into work so I took the girls home and we went to bed. Sunday we went to church and had lunch there. It was so good. There is a man there that makes vegetable pizza and it is the best thing! I HATE broccoli and cauliflower, but I eat it on that pizza! That is how I justify eating my veggies; I just need to make a pizza! :) After church, we just went home and hung out. It was a low key day--we needed it!
I finished out my Sunday with a trip to Dollar General. I love going to our Dollar General. I could walk around it in forever. They have a really good selection and we now have one only about 4 minutes away from our house! I love a good deal!
