Allen's boss gave him a three day weekend , so I took PTO today to have the full three days off in a row with him. (When Allen gets his new job our weekends may not happen as often and we probably won't get to see eachother nearly as much as we do now...so we took the extra three day weekend glady!) We went to Sturgeon on Friday night. Penny didn't puke this time, thank goodness! (Last time we went to Sturgeon she had eaten something from our bedroom that made her puke all over me and our car.) Saturday was a wonderful lazy day of sleeping in and spending time with the Cooley's. We played our new guitar hero with Matt and Nicole and we got to meet Mooney , their adorable 8 week old miniature schnauzer! She was sooooo darn cute I just wanted to hold her and squeeze her all day! But she wasn't about to have too much of that. She was typical puppy! Wanted to play with everyone! (We remember when Penny used to want to play with everyone...now she's a little shy...we're working on it...) Mooney and Penny got a long really well, and Allen's parents' dog Rose, who is a much bigger yellow lab didn't mind the smaller dogs at all. Penny suprised us a little bit because typically Penny LOVES to play rambunctiously with other dogs, but it was as if Penny instantly knew that Mooney was a puppy, instead of a play mate. Penny really acted like a big sis or something, she played a little bit with her, but gently. When Mooney gets a little older though, then I think Penny will play with her. Especially since Mooney is going to get quite a bit bigger in a short amount of time.
We had grilled chicken for dinner on Saturday which was DELICIOUS, as always.
Sunday we went to church with Allen's dad. Their church is very beautiful and the preacher had a great message. I'm glad we got to go!
We decided to come home Sunday night and spend the day today together, just Allen, Penny , and me. It was a good day. We REALLY must have all needed to sleep in because we slept in later today, all three of us, than we have in a long time. We had BLT's for lunch because Allen has been craving them, and he finally got me to sit through the movie Ben-Hur. All three hours and 40 minutes of it! I do have to say, it was an amazing movie. Now I can say I've seen it, and Allen can stop begging me to watch it with him lol! Seriously , though, he was right, a GREAT movie; just make sure you have plenty of time to watch it.
It was the season premier of our favorite TV show, HEROES, tonight. Looks like it's gonna be another great season! YAY! :)
And tonight I made Winter Squash Chowder. IT WAS AMAZING! :) Definatey worth all the time it took to get the squash peeled and chopped. (Allen helped me because he didn't want my inner Kensai to come out and chop a finger off...) The recipe is one I found on www.foodnetwork.com . The recipe is a keeper for sure! I think I will make it some night for my mom because I know she would love it. Recipe here:
