Best Weekend

I had a perfect long weekend. You know - it was one of those that you just can't plan . . . and where everything falls into place? The only things I knew for sure - was that Terry was coming over Thursday night for movies in our jammies - and that I was going to Heidi's for dinner on Friday. So - here is how I spent my weekend:


1. Thursday - Last day of summer school.
I packed up my room in record time (thanks to Joey and Becky!) - picked up Terry - and ran back to El Toro to meet Becky for lunch! (yeah - 6 weeks of summer school - and this is the ONE lunch we were able to do!)


After lunch - we headed back to my place to chillax. Terry got to hold Lonny3 a lot - which both she and Jaime enjoyed! :) We then got some movies (none of which are worth mentioning here) - and then went to Chili's for dinner. YUM.


2. Friday
We woke up to coffee and another movie - but didn't stay inside for long. Heidi invited us to hang out at her pool before Zach's birthday dinner - so after a quick (AHEM) Arby's lunch at a park in Roseville - we made it down to Eagan for some sun.


Dinner was awesome - Heidi fried up some fish she caught the weekend before, made some hashbrowns and asparagus. All was nummy - and again - very relaxing! (we hung out with Heidi after dinner to watch another one of our movies - Confessions of a Shopaholic - the best of the bunch).

3. Saturday
Terry had stayed the night again - so we got up for coffees and tv again. (these are the best mornings!) After Terry headed out - Alice and I headed out for our bi-weekly trip to the library. We found some great books - but knew we didn't want to stay too long - because St. Anthony was hosting their community carnival - and we wanted to check that out too!


I am SO glad we did! Alice - AND I - had a blast! Alice jumped in a jumper, played skeet ball, played EVERY kiddie carnival game, danced, danced, danced, brushed a baby cow, slid down the giant slide (with Auntie Carrie!), threw a dart to win an Elmo poster, and had a corn dog and pink lemonade for lunch! Whew! What a day! (she was ready to do it again on Sunday!)










We did pick up DQ for dessert - and to share with Lonny and Jaime . . but I didn't even get a chance to have any of mine - because Heidi and Julie were there to pick me up and bring me to Andover.

Heidi invited me to her friend Todd's son's graduation (because they were going to have karaoke) - who turned out to be Joey(-in-Anoka)'s classmate and wrestling teammate! And yes, Joey was surprised to see me at his buddy's party!

4. Sunday
I kinda thought that I would get up and head up to Alex to have breakfast with Jaymie's fam (she had invited me up to her lake if I had time). . . but I really wanted some chill-out time before heading back to work. So - that's what I did. Hung out with my own family. Our biggest adventure - Lonny and I headed out to an Antique Mall in St. Paul whilst his children napped. Then, we brought home steaks to grill. Steaks, baked potatoes, corn, garlic toast. Best meal to end the best weekend.
