Weekend Recap

Aly got up early this morning to see her Daddy off to work and for a little "Coffee Talk" with him. Corey and I had a date night on Saturday night and after we had dinner we stopped at Starbucks for some coffee before heading off to the movies. Starbucks had little coffee cups on clearance and I thought they were the perfect size for the girls so of course I picked them up for them. The girls are constantly trying to drink my coffee so they think they are really big stuff now that they have their own coffee cups. Aly sat down at the table this morning with her "coffee" (a smidgen of coffee lots of cream and milk) and said "so Daddy, what do you want to talk about". It was so cute I had to get a picture to capture the very sweet moment!

As I mentioned above Corey and I had a date night this weekend. We try to get a sitter at least once a month so we can go out and enjoy a nice relaxed dinner and a movie, Saturday was no exception. We attended a wedding on Saturday afternoon and then Kimmy came over about 5pm and spent the evening with the girls.

We went to CiCi City Broiler for dinner, they have the best salad! It's so unique, when I go to a restaurant for the dinner salad you know if must be good. There are very few salads that I like but this is one of them! After dinner we stopped by Starbucks and then we were off to the movies to see "21". AWESOME MOVIE!! It's about a group of college students from MIT who go to Vegas on the weekends to "count cards". I will definitely see this movie again. After we came home we stayed up late to finish watching "Dan In Real Life". Very good movie but I didn't think it was as fantastic as my Mom hyped it up to be. Probably because she understands what it is like having three daughters, two of which were teenagers and I'm not there yet and I plan on having a boy next!

The girls and I are off to STL in the morning for Aly's dance class and then we are meeting with our realtor late tomorrow afternoon to look at houses. We had an offer on the house last week, we countered the offer and the potential buyer decided not to pursue it ... at least for now, our realtor is working on getting the scoop as to why. We did however have an unexpected, fantastic showing on Saturday morning and I expect this couple to make an offer this week. Things are rolling and we should all be together in STL very soon!

Coffee Talk

Stranded at the drive-in...

Think John Travolta in Grease. Seriously, the girls and I are stranded at home. A couple of weeks ago Corey had an accident and we had to get a rental car. Our car should be finished sometime today so he came home last night and when he left this morning he left the rental car here with me...but he took the keys to STL with him. So as an added bonus, Corey will be coming home this evening with the keys. Even if my car is finished today the car seats are locked in the rental car so it does me absolutely no good. Oh yeah and the rental car company has a spare set but they are their admin office...in Wichita, KS.

Since we are stranded, I had the opportunity to watch a few of the performances from American Idol that I recorded last night. I think David Cook should win; dude, he rocked it out with his version of Billie Jean plus he's from the Show Me State. I also like Carly Smithson, for me it's between those two.

Tease

My sister is teasing us with a few of the photos she did while the girls and I were in Texas. She is so talented! Click on the link below and check them out. Enjoy!
