Weekend Update

We had a great weekend this week! I took the day off Friday to prepare for Alex's birthday party on Sunday. Sheila, John and Trevor came over for dinner Friday night, a little Chinese food, yummy! Sheila is getting ready to pop out that little thing in her belly. We did some shopping and even bought a snowblower on Saturday. I got an 8 hp Yard Master (or whatever WalMart sells). We saved $224 on it because they were selling off the inventory for the end of the year. Kevin, Andrea and Morgan came up for a visit and stayed Saturday and Sunday night. Saturday night we put the kids to bed and watched Garden State. It was an interesting movie, a bit arts, which was a tough sell given it starred the guy from Scrubs. Alex's birthday went very well on Sunday! She had a great time and got a lot of great gifts, thanks to everyone! Interestingly we were so caught up in our own lives that we didn't see the snow storm coming, otherwise Kevin and Andrea would have left Sunday night, but once we realized we were going to get some snow it was too late for them to head out. So, we hung in Sunday night, watched Desperate Housewives and then all went to bed. We awoke to about 8-10 inches of snow, of course thanks to WalMart, I had a nice new snowblower to clean it all out. I spent a couple hours outside doing everyone's driveways (Dan, Mike, John, Dan's Mom, mine). That probably won't happen every storm but I needed to break in my new toy. Well, I guess that was the weekend in a nut shell.
