This weekend we headed to Lockport to get our taxes done. Afterwards we spent the afternoon with my dad, Leslie and family. They’re moving to New Jersey next month when he takes a position at a new Air Force base. So we wanted to get as much time in with them as possible.
Chris showed my dad Angry Birds on Andy’s Xoom.
We had Mighty Taco for lunch but Leslie made us jambalaya for dinner. Ben’s favorite part of dinner was dessert, his very own chocolate chip cookie.
Macy was a very brave kitty this time and watched Ben from behind the couch. Her mommy Marilyn wasn’t quite as adventurous, we didn’t see her all day.
I also got to visit with my friend Allison who happened to be back in town. Her husband is stationed with the Army in Italy and she was back in the states to pick up their kitty.
This weekend my sister Danielle starred as Maria in her college’s The Sound of Music. Ben and I headed to Lockport Friday afternoon. We stayed with my stepmom Leslie and visited with family that night.
Saturday morning my mom picked Ben up to watch him for the rest of the weekend. Myself, Leslie, Gabby, Christopher, some friends and aunts and uncles all headed down to Mansfield to watch Danielle. I sat in the back of the minivan, I remember it being roomier when I was a kid :)
We headed to Danielle’s apartment to visit before the show. All of her adoring fans took up her livingroom and I hope we didn’t scare her roommates too much :) Danielle paid Gabby $1 to download some cat photo app on her iPhone and we all got a kick out of it.
Danielle is in her senior year at Mansfield and did an amazing job in the show. She can sing like you wouldn’t believe! And she made a gorgeous Maria.
We headed back to Lockport after the show Saturday night. Sunday, I went to my mom and Paul’s cottage on the lake to pick up Mr. Benjamin. He had a great time and I was SO thankful they were able to watch him (you know, it being such an inconvenience and all).
My little travel buddy did great the whole weekend (although he wasn’t too thrilled about the broccoli being served in the above picture)! And if you were wondering where Andy was in all of this…I couldn’t convince him seeing a musical would be a fun idea (even with Danielle as the lead). So he got himself a little man weekend, staying up until 3am with no consequences and finishing some projects he had laying around.
Andy’s parents spent the day with us Saturday. We had pizza, cake and enjoyed each others company. There were also more birthday presents!
Part of Andy’s dad’s present was a box full of old video game goodies (he collects them).
Ben was fascinated with the Nintendo cartridge. Ancient technology :)
Andy received a Backyard Ballistics book from his brother.
It’s baby’s first angle grinder! Haha, really just another gift for Andy.
We gave Andy’s mom a gift card for Joann Fabrics.
Hooray for birthdays!
They’re so much fun!
