Weekend Away

It was BACK to Moosehead for Husband AND Minnie... she was SO sad to miss last year and was thrilled to be BACK!!!

Kicked off Thursday afternoon with a match for MC... pic sniped by one of her friends... she's on the left :) 

and we went home to play Jeopardy and eat Publick House! YUM!


Friday I was off from work and Do-Do sent this picture!

Miss B and I got ready and headed on an adventure!!! I had some errands to run and one of them included a drop off at Goodwill.. it dawned on me that she had never been to Reilly's bakery....Soooooo I parked in front of the theater... she was COMPLETELY confused until we turned to cross the street and she saw the big sign! WIN WIN for Miss B! Girl loves a bakery.... 

Bonus surprise....we walked in and there behind the counter was one of her very favorite teachers... 2nd grade Mrs. Randall... on the exact day... 6 years later (Friday, March 13, 2020) that schools closed and Mrs. Randall started zooming in our home.... I WISH I had snapped a picture when she came out behind the counter to give Miss B a hug and Miss B was taller than her!

stole this pic from Minnie's insta... LOVED it... 

and on Friday night Miss B and I watched CJ's SkillsUSA awards ceremony online... it was LOONNGGGGG....

but the fact that he WON def. helped!! :) Soooooo PROUD of him!!! Pic courtesy of Miss B because I was racing all around the house looking for the charger because my phone  was going to die!!

Happy I didn't miss these pics though!!

SO PROUD!

Speaking of proud! Minnie send me this!! Whoop whoop fish on!

Love them!!!

In cleaning up traps on Saturday afternoon Husband let Minnie snag this flag... at least she got ONE... :)

Miss B and I did lots of deep couch sitting on Saturday, (I did run to Walmart) and enjoyed our home (and dog)

On Sunday we had nursery... LUCKY us!!!

I wasn't mad about this...

and neither was Miss B :)

Husband and Minnie were home unpacking when Miss B and I got back from groceries! Hooray! I jumped into the kitchen to make food for our Irish potluck at work (Monday) and Miss B had been begging for yeasty rolls since I grabbed this butter a few weeks ago...

SO happy they were able to get back to northern Maine together again doing their favorite thing together with friends (and family). But SOOOOO HAPPY they are HOME!

Wacky? Wednesday

I do a lot of editing with my pics before I post them...but when I looked back at these I was chuckling... 

1st of all... I HAD just gotten home with Minnie from the grocery store and said child could not WAIT to tap into making her own blizzard.... hence the rotisserie chicken on the counter... I hadn't had time to pick it and put it in a container. Oatmeal creme pies that needed to go downstairs to be packed for Minnie's weekend away coming up....and peep the fact that we STILL HAVE OUR GARLAND UP and it's BEEN UP for going on 5 months!!!!

I have actually attempted to take it down and put it back in the basement but my Christmas loving Miss B refuses!! HAHAHAHAHA! PLEASE no judgement.... YOU try saying "no" to Miss B!


and then I saw this guy... peeping "nice in case" Minnie was to drop ANYTHING he might think was tasty... little begger.

The LONG Weekend Report

That started on Thursday!!!

Miss B had a match but it was over an hour from my school so I KNEW by the time I drove there after dismissal I would miss most of it. BOOHISS! 

Thank goodness for Husband and Minnie (for sniping the shots) :) They kept me in the loop!


She said she did great and even SPIKED IT! WHOOHOO!

I mean I wouldn't mess with two 5'10" 8th grade girls! :)


On Friday we started with a 2 hour delay... that then turned into a full on SNOW DAY. The 4 members of the Mouse House were SO UPSET. This pushes us to the END OF JUNE! 

BUT.... it meant that the gals Dr appt could get moved UP so they were not late for their Friday night plans of going to the USM women's basketball game... peep Minnie's face about GOING to the Dr and poor kid had to get a vaccine. Bummer. BUT... it was the LAST one....until college. What? Like WHAT EVEN?

Husband and I snagged a date afternoon/evening, Mexican food YES PLEASE, while the gals were at the bball game. On Saturday USM played again so Minnie went with Abbey and slept over. She met us at church and OFFERED TO COME GROCERY SHOPPING WITH ME! HIP HIP! Makes me WHOLE day when my gals wanna come with... add in some sunshine and fun party shades... it was a pretty spectacular 60 min round trip! :)

When we got home we were dying to try the new immersion blender I snagged at Marshall's the day before. Gals decided to make their own "Blizzards" with heath bar and Reese's pb cups... everything was GREAT....


UNTIL Minnie tried to do the tip the Blizzard upside down trick and her ENTIRE ice cream treat dumped into the sink. Oh.my.word. All FOUR of us were laughing SO hard....

speaking of laughing... we randomly stumbled across this free 7 day app we could install where you can play a few games... one of them is name that artist and song with a LOT of different genres... you use your phone as your buzzer and it was HYSTERICAL!

We all loved playing Jeopardy together and laughed SO MUCH this weekend! It was so fun!!!

Which one is naughty-er? The one who CALLED him on the couch or the one who IS ON THE COUCH!


GREAT weekend with a bonus day at the beginning!

In the words of Minnie... "Most Improved Player to MVP in ONE year... huh. How about that."


So proud of our girl.... worked her tail off... 

Couldn't be MORE proud of our two gals... coming out of their respective seasons with Coach's Award and MVP. Well done ladies!

The Weekend Report

There are not many pics... and let's be honest no one is interested in this first one ESPECIALLY NOT HUSBAND...HAHAHAHA BUT...
 
A picture for Tamarah :) *wink*

Minnie was at the playoff hockey game so I was screenshoting (is that a word?) the entire Class A girl's basketball championship game. Cheverus came back from an 18 point deficit to win the gold ball (eye roll).

 On Sunday after church Husband stayed for the annual business meeting and Miss B agreed to come WITH ME to run some errands and gather food for the week... she can't go by Aunt Nancy and Uncle Danny's without a quick pop in for a squeeze... too bad neither of them were home! I took this pic and texted them... :) So cute!
