At least we had sunshine! Today the sun was shining like crazy. Still very cold - but the sun was shining! Piper was pretty funny this weekend. Making all kinds of crazy faces and just being plain funny. She also has figured out how to take her own shirt off. She took her shirt off at least 4 times today. I took her pants off for her supposed nap time (she never fell asleep) and when I went up to get her out of bed. She was just in a diaper. She took off her shirt, socks and there she was smiling in her diaper.

Her and I had a great day on Friday. She behaved and listened really well, Funny thing that day - we went to McDonald's for lunch and brought it home. Well, up to this point she doesn't like hamburgers. So, I got her McNuggets. I got a Big Mac. While we were eating she is checking out what I am eating. She makes so fussy sounds like she wants my sandwich. She has been wanting to eat or drink anything that the rest of us have. So, I gave her a bite of my Big Mac and that little girl finished the rest of my sandwich. I guess I will have to try hamburger on her!

Friday night we went to Cebolla's for supper. Piper eats the chips but ONLY if she can have the salsa too. The salsa there is pretty hot. But she has to have the salsa or she won't eat the chips..... a little girl with plenty of attitude...... The had a mariachi band there that night. They were going from table to table and Piper was enjoying them. So wouldn't you know they come to our table. They ask if we want them to play anything. Steve and I both are like no - both of us thinking "Hell we don't know any of that music" then they ask if we want them to play anything for Piper and once again we are like no. They all talk and the next thing I know they are playing this song.... this song sounds very familiar.... well it was - it was the Barney theme song! Holy - it was so funny - Piper started bouncing her head from side to side! It was great! Riley was very tired on Friday night because I guess he didn't get to bed until late (10ish) on Thursday night because they were out late for his step-dad's birthday. So, I made sure he went to bed early Friday night!

Saturday Iwas able to take Ashley to volleyball practice. I had gotten a new book at the library Friday in the grandma section.... and I was able to get a great start on it then. Volleyball went well for Ashley and we were home by 10:45. Piper and the boys went to get Riley's haircut so they were home just a bit after we got home. We pretty much hung out around home the rest of the day. I made Apple Crisp for a dessert for supper that night. I have never made it before and it DID turn out. And it was very good! I made pork roast, noodles and corn for supper. Steve's brother, his daughter (Lilly) and Steve's dad stopped by right before our supper. That was fine. They all stayed and visited for quite awhile. Steve's dad (Jim) had eaten supper earlier and then turned around and ate supper with us too! And he had dessert. This guy must never eat! It was a nice evening. I really enjoyed it. I took pictures of Grandpa Jim and all the grandkids. They turned out nice. I know he will enjoy them.

Today was homework, clean the bedrooms day. We just realized today that because of Easter and spring break we don't have the big kids for 6 weekends in a row. That really sucks and the kids didn't act to excited about it either. I guess that is the way the cookie crumbles. We have asked their mom to consider switching some weekend if possible but according to her "She doesn't mind having them 6 weekends in a row" Hell no she doesn't her built in babysitters are there and they don't get to see us...... well, I just stop with that now. So, we will have to see what happens with all that.

I made a meatloaf today for lunch. I have never made one of those before either.... funny thing - why haven't I - it was the easiest thing I have every done. It was great and it tasted great too!The kids ate it like crazy - so I will for sure make this again. I feel like all i did all weekend was cook,,,,,,But it still was a good weekend
