Down and then Up

Our weekend certainly had it's ups and downs. Let's start with the downs and then end on a positive note. Well, what are the odds that your new dog would totally ignore the invisible fencing in our yard and run past it into the neighbor's driveway, only to jump up on a certain person that was visiting them.....the sheriff!! How embarrassing!! Then, you let your teenage son pull your NEW car out of the garage and he ends up turning too sharply and scrapes the bumper of your NEW car on the side of the garage.....did I tell you it was my NEW car????? After a few phone calls to certain friends, I calmed down enough to realize that it was a problem that could be fixed with money, and no one was hurt, so I needed to CHILL OUT!!

Next, the good news.... John came home from golfing, and "fixed " the car problem by cleaning up the bumper with some mineral spirits....it looked like new again! My husband is AWESOME!!

On Sunday, we went to church, then had our usual Subway for lunch...


watched the Packer game...Yea!!!!They won!!


then Gramma Sue and Grandpa Phil came to visit from out of state!! They were so kind and patient to play with our kiddoes..... (they're playing play doh)



Then, bless their gigantic hearts, they took all of the kids to their favorite place to eat....Ponderosa.....and let John and I go on a date!!! Guess what? We didn't go to Ponderosa... or Mc Donalds!!
While at Ponderosa, they saw these on the table...

so the boys came home and spent a few hours on the computer learning to fold dollar bills and actually made a few of their own. What a great Sunday!!!! Jill
