An Important Birthday

Today we celebrated our fearless leaders day of birth.  He turned 61!  The grand kids talked about it all day and were excited to have a night with their pop.  Traffic was crazy trying to get home from work and by the time we got back to the restaurant we were the last ones to get there. All the kids greeted him loudly... and the grand kids were all hollering for pop!!!  Dennis thought it was just going to be us for dinner and was surprised to see the kids and friends.

Steve and Tracey came at the drop of a hat, which was so nice!  literally they had zero notice!  Steve said Dennis is lucky he is Dennis! lol  I didn't even have time to call Guy and Denise who I know would have been there too!  Everything happened fast!

We all sat at this long table and the grand kids were in and out and up and down and under the table.  going between whatever family member they wanted to see.  But the were all so good! Evelyn would NOT leave her pops side.  She kept telling him she had a pocket..  And Sammi sat at his other side and talk in her Sammi talk!    Of course, the damn politics talk started!  Ben is very smart with that.  Tanner is great at explaining it to dummies like me and Matthew just wants to stir the pot!

After we ate, the kids gave dad his presents and hugs all around as we left.  I think he had a good time and know how important he is to his family.

Damn Inconvenience

Yes Netflix!!!!!  I am still watching!!  Don't make me have to get up to get the remote or completely move all my food from around me to find it!  Why does it ask anyway?  It's okay if I fall asleep or get up to go to the bathroom or even scroll my phone!  That's what the rewind button is for!

Let me know how that works for ya!

Dennis walked by me in the kitchen today and slapped my butt.  I gave him the stink eye and he laughed at me.

Me: Why do men hit women

Dennis: Cause their idiots!

Raven:  Well you’re an idiot and have never hit me.

Dennis:  Not yet!

Me:  Let me know how that works out for ya..... after you pick yourself up off the floor of course.

Fast Weekends

This weekend I finished up the major project I have been working on... for most of my life.... okay ... just for the last few weeks, but it has consumed my time , and I have been filled with fear that I wouldn’t get it done.  Mainly because  I had no idea what I was doing! I can’t  divulge what it is  now ... but I will post a picture later.

Last night Katie and Joanie came over to get their jewelry aunt Gayla sent to us girls and Joanie noticed the new toys I bought for our house.  She wanted to take them home... But I told her it was important to have toys here too.  Today I got the house cleaned and 4 out of 7 piles of the grand babies presents wrapped. I will finish the rest this next weekend I hope.... and  I also got to spend a few hours with Sammi and Danny While Tanner and Jessica went to the movies with friends!  They are so good and so much fun to be around!  We played, ate snack and dinner and watched a movie in lolly and pops bed. 

The weekend goes faster when your busy... If  had anymore to do it wouldn't fill like a weekend at all!
