Saturday

Happy Birthday Karen!

She's enjoying her time at OBLC (Officer Basic Leadership Course). I borrowed this picture from her blog.

Parker started the weekend on Friday getting out of school early because of a fever. So I run down the hill, pick him up, arrive home, dose him with meds and send him to the couch to rest. After a short nap he wakes up with half his face swollen and the eye almost shut completely. What happened??? I have no idea what on earth caused this. After 3 doses of Benadryl and going to bed he still woke up the next morning with swelling in his face. Another dose of Benadryl took all of the swelling away AND he is totally back to normal in every respect. Still scratching my head on this one! I won't share the picture of Parker that we took as its just not a good picture.

Jolie had a wonderful day at the World Arena with Olivia Siedel and her father, Chris, seeing "High School Musical on Ice". What fun they had and then went out for dinner at Yakatori. Jolie couldn't have been more excited about today. She woke up at 7:30 ready to get dressed for a 2:00 pick up time. Had a lot of quick talking to do to keep her out of her dress-up outfit.

Olivia is having her very first sleep over tonight. Marlee is a friend from school and just precious. We took them out for dinner tonight to celebrate this event at "Lemongrass Bistro". Dang (the owner) was so nice and seated us himself and then treated the girls to Cokes. He really played along with the big event and had just as much fun as we did, I think. The girls shared a Combination Noodle Bowl as their dinner and I wish I had taken my camera along to get a pic of their faces when their food came out. After dinner we arrived home just in time to greet Jolie, Olivia and Chris and we all enjoyed visiting while David and I fed the fish. Of course feeding time is always a sight to behold for anyone not accustomed to seeing this group of aquatics eat.
