WEEK IN REVIEW

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

DESPITE IT BEING VERY COLD, BRRR, WE ARE ENJOYING A LOVELY MOTHER'S DAY IN CANFIELD. THIS WEEK HAS BEEN ONE STRANGE WEATHER EVENT. WE MANAGED TO ESCAPE THE TORNADIC THREATS THAT OCCURRED JUST NORTH OF US. WE ALL KNOW I WOULD HAVE BEEN CAMPING OUT IN THE BASEMENT. OF COURSE, NOW IT WOULDN'T BE THAT CHALLENGING AS I LAY ON A COUCH DOWN THERE. HA! IT WAS SO BAD THAT THE COVERAGE HAD 3 METEOROLOGISTS FROM DIFFERENT STATIONS TOGETHER FOR THE DOPPLER READINGS!! THE GIRLS WERE IN OUR ROOM 2 TIMES THIS WEEK B/C THEY WERE AFRAID OF THE THUNDER. MEREDITH TOLD ME THAT SHE WAS ,"ASCAYWERD OF TUNDERTORMS". IT LOOKED LIKE STROBE LIGHTS GOING OFF IN OUR BEDROOM, TOO. GLAD THAT IS OVER FOR NOW.

LAST SUNDAY, WE AND GRANDMA WENT TO SESAME STREET LIVE! IT WAS WORTH EVERY PENNY WATCHING MEREDITH GET HER GROOVE ON THE ENTIRE SHOW. SHE WAS MIRRORING THE DANCE MOVES THAT WERE HAPPENING ON STAGE! WE CAVED AND BOUGHT THE EXPENSIVE ELMO BALLOONS DURING INTERMISSION. **THIS MEANS THAT MATT AND I HAD TO HOLD THE HUGE BALLOONS UNDER OUR LEGS FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW! MADELINE WAS BEING QUIETLY RESERVED IN HER SEAT, BUT DID RESPOND EVERY TIME BIG BIRD ASKED FOR PARTICIPATION.

FOR MOTHER'S DAY, I BOUGHT MYSELF SOME HANGING BASKETS, BUT THEY HAVE YET TO BE OUTSIDE DUE TO THE COLD, NASTY ,RAINY WEATHER WE HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING. SO FOR NOW, THEY LOOK GREAT IN MY GARAGE! WE WENT TO CHURCH WITH GRANDMA THIS MORNING AND THEN OFF TO BLUE WOLF FOR THEIR BUFFET. IT WAS YUMMY!! I HAD THE CARVED LAMB. I AM THINKING THAT THIS MIGHT BE MY FAVORITE MEAT OUT THERE. THERE IS JUST SOMETHING ABOUT IT. yum yum yum

AGAIN, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
