Popovers and Icicles

     I joined friends for lunch and a matinee before Good Friday services.  Even though we are at the same school, we rarely see each other to catch up on life outside of school.  It was very fun introducing Margo to Anton's as she had never been there before.  It is enjoyable to go there in the summer with their outdoor scenery, but it was cool to look out the windows nearby our table to see these MASSIVE icicles.  

 

It was quite an adventure trying to stay upright on the ice to get this picture!! 

The best part of going to Anton's are their popovers with honey butter.
They are incredibly yummy!!

As evidenced by this picture, Margo enjoyed her fish tacos.

All That I Wanted...

     I was in need of a nice, relaxing bubble bath.  I thought I had the door all the way shut, but I was wrong...very, very wrong!!  As I slipped into the hot water and closed my eyes, it wasn't five minutes later that I heard the sound of water being lapped up.  Upon opening my eyes, I saw not one...not two... but all three animals staring me down!!! So much for my relaxing bath time.

Tea Party

Megann wanted a "GIRLS ONLY" tea party for her birthday, so her cousins came over (but not baby Justin since he's a BOY), her mom, grandma, Aunt Missy, and me (her pseudo aunt).

No, this is not a gigantic stuffed animal!!  This is Willow, their very large Goldendoodle.
No kidding...she is one enormous ten-month-old puppy.  

I just love this picture of the two of them!

She was pretty excited about the Hello Kitty outfit that I bought her. :)

Isn't she a doll?!  This is Megann's cute cousin, Emma.  

She dressed herself in this outfit (scarf and boots included) for the tea party.

Megann and Reba were banished to the front yard during the party!!

"Charlotte's Web"

     I was invited to Mathieu's play at the Paramount, "Charlotte's Web."  It was a fun night out with Katie, Freddy, and her parents.  Here are some pictures from his "big" performance.

Megann and Mathieu 

(Megann was pretty excited to see her brother perform on stage and had a great time!)

Time for intermission (and to buy a cute stuffed Wilbur)

They had the performers sign autographs after the performance.  

It was pretty exciting for them and fun for us to watch!! We couldn't believe how long the lines were!!

Mathieu and the lamb (who just happens to have a crush on him)...too funny!!

While I was Away...

     The doggies had a "heyday" playing in the snowstorm that I missed out on. :0)  Darrell said that Dakota and JJ were, "dorking it up" in the backyard with the nine inches of snow that we got last Monday and Tuesday.  Apparently, Benji wasn't so happy about my trip.  He was missing me!!
