Wishing the weekend wasn't almost over...

We had a wonderful time this weekend. I hate that it's now Sunday evening and that means tomorrow...back to the work week. (SIGH...it's life...if we didn't work, we wouldn't probably be able to have the wonderful weekends that we do.) Friday night we went to visit Grandma and Pop Pop. We had some homemade chili, which was yummy. It was our first bowl of chili since the beginning of chilly weather. (Which by the way...we are not ready for yet! Gotta get the plastic up on the windows ASAP!) We ended up playing three games of 10 point pitch and an entire game of Mexican Crazy Train Dominoes. An entire game of MCTD took us two hours! It was so much fun though! Oooo and grandma sent us home with a jar of homemade pepper relish! It is DELICIOUS! On Saturday Allen had to work, I ended up braving the crowd at Hy Vee so I could have a gallon of milk for .99, 2lb of 85/15 hamburger meat for $1.98 and four bags of shredded cheese for $4.00. The prices were so good I couldn't pass it up, and apparantly neither could anyone else in Quincy. (The sale was a six hour sale.) I'm not kidding you, it was a MAD HOUSE! No parking spots, no carts, no room in the aisles...CRAZINESS! It honestly looked like Wal-Mart the day after Thanksgiving! I made it home safely from that and then I went up town with Mom and Caleb. We went to the Farmer's Market at Farm and Home, and to the mall. While mom was trying on a shirt in the dressing room, I saw a GIANT spider just sitting on the back of one of the shirts hanging on a rack. I took a picture of it, but the picture didn't come out well. I took the shirt and the spider up to the cashier. I would have killed it first, but I thought maybe they would want to see what kind of spider it was. Wierd huh? When Allen got home from work we decided to have date night. We went to Sprouts for dinner, then we went to the mall. We went to shop ko and came home with a Shop Ko brand magic bullet blender! YAY! I've been wanting one of those soooo bad! We got ours for $25 with a three year warantee! Which, the Magic Bullet at Shop Ko is $70! We've already made smoothies with it! I LOVE IT! :) We also bought a dice game called Kismet for $4. We figured what the heck...we would try it, since it was only $4, couldn't go too wrong with it! Well, it is definately worth what we paid! It's so much fun we played five games of it last night! We can't wait to play with everyone else! (Grandma D. , we think you are REALLY going to like it!)

Today, I cleaned up house a lil bit and started to do laundry, but stopped as soon as I realized there was a swarm of some kind of hornet around the dryer. Allen is home now and says that he can see two now in spider webs, but earlier I swear there were at least ten-fifteen of the suckers! UGH!

Tonight for dinner we are having a recipe that I have completely made up on my own. I didn't have a recipe, but I stole a basic idea and built on that. We are having mexican stuffed peppers tonight! They are in the oven now! I hope they turn out good!

Hope everyone else had a good weekend too! LOVE YOU ALL LOTS!
