Happy belated Memorial Day. Our weekend was so nice and relaxing; I took Saturday off, so I had a long 4-day weekend and enjoyed every second of it! Friday and Saturday Joe's parents and Jer, Trish and Trey came to visit for Joe's birthday. We went to dinner at Young's Dairy- did the batting cages and driving range...we never did make it to the ice cream though. :( Saturday we stayed here, had lunch, watched Grey's Anatomy that I had saved on my DVR (holy callie-and-her-new-girlfriend! whoa! OK, saw it coming, but still...!!!).
Trey and Quinn played together all day Saturday; now that they're getting older, they are playing more, and they're a lot of fun to watch them interact.
Sunday we went to mom and dad's for more b-day shenanigans. Dad wasn't feeling all that great, so Lisa and I became the grill-masters....OK, 'masters' is probably taking it too far, because I'm pretty sure a grill "Master" wouldn't cook the ribs beyond the point of being able to chew them, but hey...I warned him I didn't know how long to cook them! Anyway, lunch was still yum-O and we had some great cake with about 75 different flavors of ice cream. We played yard games all afternoon (cornhole, horseshoes, and something-or-other golf-- it was fun.) Kara, Mom, Lisa and I played cornhole, and Mom beat the socks off of all of us. She's apparantly got mad bean-bag skillz.
Later in the evening, Lisa, John, Joe, and I went into the basement with every intention to play a pool tournament, but Lisa and I got sidetracked by the stacks of rubbermaid containers in the closet with all of our old stuff in it. So we spent the next few hours "treasure hunting" and sorting through all the good stuff (translate: CRAP). We did manage to throw a lot out and clean up mom's basement which I'm sure she appreciates. We had some good laughs, especially at my senior scrapbook and Lisa's 4th grade writing journal. Good stuff.
Monday, Joe and some other coworkers went to Detroit to watch the Pistons game, and Quinn, Lisa, John, mom and I went to Alaina's graduation open house. She wins, hands down, for the best graduation party food! Arby's roast beef, pitas and hummus, stuffed mushrooms, Grandma's chocolate 'stuff'' (I can't remember what it's called, but I had 2 bowls of it!), taco salad, taco dip, noodles, potatoes, fruit, and of course cake were some of the items on the table (and my plate). It's really all about the food for me.

Man, I miss the basement. I remember roller SKATING (who does that now?) down there! We were so mad when your parents put carpet in. The big challenge was to get up and over the landing.
I remember playing Barbie's down there for hours and having fashion shows with all of the neat Barbie clothes ya'll had. Jeez.
Those were the good 'ole days.
Well....I'm pretty sure the Barbies and all their clothes are STILL down there, and I'm sure mom would let you go play whenever you want, Des. :)
That's OK.
What I really loved was the little kitchen set thing with all of the fake food...even fake mashed potatoes!!!
ok, I am at a loss for what "cornhole" is... sounds very small town Ohio to me! :)
Des- the kitchen set is still there too. :)
Jill, cornhole is basically a beanbag toss version of horseshoes. I have some pictures...as soon as I find the cable to connect my camera to the computer i'll put them on here.
Sounds like a busy and fun weekend. Did Jill just slam Ohio, her home state? FYI- corn holes started in Cinci, which is big town Ohio. Grey's -that lesbo scenario is getting old. I didn't like it on ER, and it seems pretty contrived to me. How ironic that Callie is gay or whatever, when T.R is in real life.
Nancy, I noticed the irony as well, with T.R. and, uh, whatever Callie's real name is. I agree...it's Carrie from ER all over again. Please, Grey's, get a new story line!
I am just so proud that all my relatives freely use the word "irony!" yeah for literacy! hate the lesbo thing. love that meredith and mcdreamy got the surgery right. Now what about Ugly BettY???????
