We have had a rather extended weekend. Last Friday I left work a little early since it was Beth's birthday, and we left the kids with a babysitter and went to Fort Wayne with the Johnsons. The intention was to eat out at Outback and then see a movie, but there really weren't any we were that excited about so we went to Barnes & Noble instead. On the way out of Jefferson Pointe we could smell the Krispy Kremes so we stopped in for fresh donuts while were were at it. I had actually never eaten a warm, just-made KK donut and I must admit it was really good. I didn't even know about the neon light in the window that gets turned on when the hot donuts are ready until then. Anyway, we headed back after the snack which was a good thing, because the winter storm that had been predicted all day started showing up while we on the way home. The roads were getting really bad while taking the babysitters home. Saturday, we went grocery shopping, spending over $300 because we had to replace everything that had been in the freezer that melted or thawed because our dear son figured out how to move the temperature selector switch to off last week. On Sunday afternoon, the cat seemed a little too interested in something under the stove while I was watching football, and upon opening the drawer I found the mouse I had suspected was here for a while. He got away, but his day is coming. Later we had movie night at our house. You should see Alex and Carson play on and around the playset together...it was like two toddlers hopped up on Mountain Dew or something. What a hoot. And today we had the Johnsons over again...we were going to watch the season premiere of "Monk" we recorded the other day, and then this week's "24," but somehow Monk was left out (mostly delays due to kid things).
