2 Weekends of Alice

I've been taking Alice out more than usual - trying to give Lonny and Jaime some much needed craftin' time. Last weekend I took Alice to Rosedale. We met Jaymie, Beth and Bailey. We went to Big Bowl for lunch (well, Alice had an Arby's Roast Beef) and then did a bit of shopping.

Alice's first trip into Hollister? (Beth bought a jacket)


Bailey and Alice hung out while waiting for the teenager to finish shopping.

Today, Alice and I went up to Blaine to join the Christenson girls in learning how to make lefse. We had a great time! Auntie Sue is such a great hostess! (I don't think we stopped eating for the 6 hours we were there!) Alice had just a brief nap in the car on the way there - but did great regardless!

She had a great time.

And now for the part of my life that is not Alice. :) Melanie and Fabio closed on their house Thursday. They spent Saturday and today at their new place in Columbia Heights painting and getting it ready to move into. I joined them on Saturday - helping them out just a bit - and then they came over Sat night for a light dinner, a movie, and a place to crash so they could get back at it right away this morning. I'm so excited for them - and can't wait to see it once they've moved in!

Short week this week - only 2 days of school. . . Thanksgiving. . . Pat Stumpf's wedding. . . . should be a fun week!
