Back from Chatt...

Hey! This is pretty cool Ann. And since we are such the techgirlz:).....(a cell phone conference call can take 40 min to hook up) Anyway, me and the boys are back from Chatt. Had an awesome time....it was pretty much a vacation as we were there 5 nights!!! My camera broke so I do not have pictures to share, but maybe mom would be so kind......
Friday Allie, me and the boys went to Starbucks (actually Will took a nap in the car while we drank coffee and Parker had 1 vanilla and 1 chocolate milk). While at Starbucks we sat outside (to keep an eye on sleeping Will) and Parker made friends with a man sitting by himself. He was about 70 years old or so and had just had surgery on his foot or something. Parker was VERY curious about this and what had happened. Parker gave the man the third degree including trying to figure out how he could drive around? The guy explained his wife as coming to pick him up and then there were more questions including "Is your wife a boy or girl?" He patiently answered, "A girl, but you never know this day and age....." From Starbucks we went on to "shop" at Blue Skies and The Big Much downtown. After a horrendous wreck on 27...we ended up downtown a lot later and didn't do much shopping as the boys just were not as interested as Allie and myself. Finally we headed down to meet Dee for lunch and Parker gave a concert up on stage singing, "Jesus Loves the Little Kids" and took repeated bows for the crowd of 3 ladies clapping. After lunch, we rode the city bus:) and got icecream at Ben & Jerry's. Very fun and delicious of course. I had chocolate therapy (the only true chocolate lover's ice cream), Allie had will power and got nothing, Parker got strawberry-kiwi sorbet and against my better judgement I let him. Of course when we got to the table Dee had to share her vanilla with her boys. She loved every minute of it.

Saturday was....well, awesome! We started celebrating the HOGS that morning as Parker and Will donned their Hog jerseys. Parker has a Matt Jones #9 jersey. Pretty cute. Lots of whooo pig sooooie practice runs. Parker made it to the actual game that night but his interest in the Hogs had wained. Building forts and burrito stores called "Welcome to Moe's" ruled the night (and weekend for that matter). Scott and Allie hosted an amazing Hog celebration......though Scott is the only one that made it to the end of the game...... Thanks again Mom, Allie and Scott for being so wonderful. Even though Will is having some major issues (hopefully teething so it will pass) and does not sleep well and I know you didn't either:) It was great to be together for such a long time.
PLUS I came home to an almost totally redone living room/dining room. The paint is complete and the floor is 75% complete. I'll send pics when I get a camera. In the meantime...maybe you guys can come see it yourself??
