Kayla blowing out the candles on her 9th birthday

March 28, 2005

Well, we had an exciting and fun-filled weekend. Corey and Hal came up on Friday and Bob had the day off. They helped Bob get his pegboard put up and organize his tool room. It looks great.

Saturday was Kayla’s birthday. She had her friend, Olivia, join the rest of us for the party. We started off the day at the bowling alley. The kids league didn’t come so we had the whole place to ourselves. We had a blast! Nina’s kids had never bowled before and they had such a great time. Then we came home and the kids played outside in the gorgeous sunshine for a bit. Then we had a pizza lunch and then made a fun craft. Afterwards, we had cake and ice cream. She had a horse themed party and received so many great gifts. She said it was her best birthday ever-whew!
We had a great Easter Sunday as well, but I will write about that and post the pictures tomorrow. Hope all of you had a great Easter!!

Thursday

Well, yesterday was another day indoors. It has been so chilly. The kids played and spent time dancing (chicken dance, limbo, electric slide, etc) We tried to have a quiet day and were able to get everyone naps, which is good considering the 3 little ones all seem to have come down with colds. Plus, I have this horrible cough and no sleep is compounding the problem. We did, however, watch a fabulous movie last night. If any of you haven't seen "The Notebook", you MUSt go see it. It was a GREAt movie and I was totally sobbing by the end. It is snowing now, so looks like today will be an inside day as well....
