We had a typical busy Saturday. Corby worked this morning, and then spent the afternoon with the neighbor tearing down the south fence and putting new posts in.
They will hopefully get the new boards put up tomorrow, but with the forecast for thunderstorms, who knows. For now, our neighbor's dog, Sadie, who is part Irish Setter-part red lab, is sharing the yard with Cinnamon. They also have two Lhasa Apso's - Oreo and Missy, who are in the yard every now and then, but they are mostly house dogs, so the big dogs don't have to mess with them. If they don't get the fence up tomorrow, they'll be sharing the yard until next weekend. At least the dogs get along!
The boys spent the day with me. Kaitlin had to work 12-8. We went to my mom's, where we saw my brother and his miniature Schnauzer, Silke. They were visiting mom after a vet's appointment. We took mom up to St. Francis to see Rhonda, who is doing better. They are hoping to release her to a rehab facility early next week. Rehab will help her get her strength back so she can take care of herself, since she lives alone. We took mom to McDonald's for lunch, since she missed lunch at Presbyterian Manor. McDonald's is not our favorite place, but there is a new one at 13th & West, and it's close to PM. Mom enjoyed her fish sandwich and her diet Coke. We shared some fries. After we took mom home, the boys and I went to Dillons and picked up their bargains. Brandon also got his ticket for the head-banging concert at the Cotillion tonight. We took those groceries home, and then Brandon and I went and did our Leeker's shopping. They were swamped, I guess because the weather was so nice!
Here's a picture of our scruffy college student.
And here's a picture of Mr. Beautiful Eyes Kaleb.
I still need to get a picture of Kaitlin with her new glasses and hair color. Maybe I'll try when she gets home from work soon.
I am so proud of my kids. They are so good with my mom. The boys were so helpful with her today, loading her walker into the trunk, taking her hand and helping her walk, etc. My kids are sure not perfect, but they are really good kids. We are SO lucky!
Listening to some songs on the computer - they are shuffled, so I'm listening to Kelly Clarkson, Snow Patrol, The Mama's and Papa's, Melissa Etheridge, Styx, etc.
Getting ready to watch the K-State / KU game. Ought to be interesting since I'll be rooting for K-State and Corby will be rooting for KU. I think I'll have another margarita - HA!
