Rootbeer floats...

Lacey came to our house on a Wednesday...
Addison had a birthday party on a Saturday...
Well, it just seemed to make sense that Nola Jean would stay with her Grammy Pammy and Papa when her mom left for home on a Friday...
Nola Jean went to Gramma Dorius's on Friday when Lacey left for Mpls.  I picked her up there after work and she had a little supper that ended with a root beer float...

Saturday we got up and had some organic cereal with Almond milk and then we got ready to go to Lamberton, Mn. for Addison's 5th birthday party.  Nola helped me wrap Addison's little owl purse and then we wrote out a card and put $5.00 in it.  She was so excited about the giving part!
We arrived, it was a beautiful Saturday!  Family all over the yard, swimming pool filled, swing set mounted and ready for fun, and of course lots of food!
Nola Jean was a little overwhelmed by all the friends that were there and it took her awhile to warm up.  She played a long time in the play room all by herself...
having a wonderful time with the "my little ponies" and the kitchen!
When she came out it was time to play on the swing set with Papa, throw beanbags with Hayden, open presents with Addison, and the best part of all...
sharing a root beer float with Papa!
When we got back to Arlington, Hayden also came to Arlington.
We packed up and went out to the Weber ranch.
They looked at all the new baby kitties, played house and then the best thing...
they got out the dancing outfits and made up a few dances for Missy, Jeff and I to watch.
We went home at 9:30 (ouch, it is getting late)
Took a bath, washed the spray out of our hair from the dance recital and went to sleep on Papa's bed.

Sunday excitement started as soon as we got out of bed, again we had organic cereal with almond milk.  Watched a little bit of "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" while Grammy pammy got ready for church.  Got dressed in our Sunday best and walked to church.  Nola played in the play room while I sang and then we headed for home.  Time to get a few groceries for dinner...
mom and dad will be here soon.  We had tamale's and taco salad.
Next we loaded up the twin bed from the basement to go to Mpls.  Mom and dad drove Tim's van to the apartment and picked up her doll house on the way.
Nola and I then met mom and dad in Norwood and exchanged vehicles.
Oh what a wonderful day again!!
Maybe the only thing better would have been if we ended the whole magical, beautiful week-end with a ...
ROOT BEER FLOAT!
