Wednesday 11/26: Joe and I got to mom and dad's. My wonderful husband drove the whole way while I read Twilight (there is going to be a whole seperate post about those books). We got in about 9 pm and had a couple brews with Mom and Dad as we waited up to see Amy and Luke.
Thursday 11/27: I made meatballs in the morning to bring to Aunt Mary's. We picked up Grandma Lu around 11 and spent the day at Mary and Keith's. Lots of food and "drinks." Aunt Mary and Uncle Keith bought my husband an apple pie from the Elegant Farmer after we saw an episode of Throwdown with Bobby Flay.
For those of you without the Food Network, Bobby surprises people and challenges them to a "cook off" of their "specialty." The challenge was Elegant Farmer's Apple Pie Baked in a Paper Bag - that's a mouthful. After seeing that episode Joe wanted to try it so Mary and Keith bought us one and it was way better then the apple pies that I make!
Friday 11/28: We started the day at 3:40 AM!!! Joe, Amy, Mom and I went to Kohls first. It was dark, we were sleepy and we were at a stop light. Now, we were coming off of a side road where you have to go left or right so the stop light usually takes forever. This morning, it was taking extra long so I told mom she should just turn right and do a u-turn. Instead Mom puts the car in reverse and goes to pull into a parking lot to our right, to then take a left onto the main road from their parking lot. As she is going in reverse and turning into the parking lot, Amy asks what she is doing and tells Mom she should use the entrance, not just drive over the curb. Yes, she didn't realize there was no entrance and drove over the curb. Thankfully it was 4 Am and nobody was around but we laughed the whole day.
We stopped at George Webb's for breakfast and then continued on to Best Buy and Target and I think we were home by 8 AM. At noon Amy, mom and I were off to Janesville for dress shopping. Yes they were beautiful and yes you will have to wait until 9.19.09 to see what they look like! :)
Joe and dad went on a "boys adventure" - no clue what sort of adventure but they made it back in one piece!
Friday night we hung out with Mom, Dad, Luke and Amy and made home-made pizzas. We watched Amy be a goof ball and just had a nice time sitting around the table catching up.
Saturday 11/28: Headed back to MN.
Me, Amy, Grandma Lu, Mom, Aunt Mary
Dad and his sons (soon to be...)
