Weekend Stuff

I had a very eventful weekend but somehow I feel rested :

Friday- Girl scout meeting at 3:30 had snack, made snowflakes out of coffee filters and decided to work on a new badge also firmed up our Parade plans!  Picked up my neice and nephew for the weekend to do various holiday activities and get them out of the house. We all  had dinner and went to the high school basketball game ( mostly because me and my nephew LOVE to watch it but a little bit to see Ille too)

Saturday - 7:00 am Took Ille to take her SAT test after coffee and a bite to eat together. I gave her a good pep talk.. I had sharpened her #2 pencils, a big eraser and got some snacks together for her. Then on the way to the test she was of course thinking of anything that could go wrong would so we stopped to get fresh batteries for her scientific calculator.. because YOU NEVER KNOW .  Brought my nephew to the doctor because the night before he kept us up with his persistant asthma like cough.  Picked a commatosed Ille up from the testing and had to promise not to use big words for an hour at least... Then Rory and I got dressed in our warmest clothes, grabbed our various personal lighting devises and headed to the Santa parade in Puyallup with our girl scout troop. We looked Amazing at night and my little princess smiled and waived like a true pro with vaseline on her teeth and everything! At the end of it she looks at me and says.. " mom I cant stop smilin,  its stuck!!"  .  Then it was home to decorate the house and tree.

Sunday-  Made a breakfast casserole only to realize it had to be refrigerated for 4 hours... so it became dinner casserole ( kids we are having breakfast for dinner!) Cleaned , cleaned , and cleaned a little bit more.  Decorated Gingerbread houses , took the borrowed kids home to Mom and Dad, then went grocery shopping for the week.  Oh the Breakfast for dinner casserole was delicious!  Cinnamon, apple pecan french toast casserole. We all enjoyed it...
Did I mention that we dogsat 3 extra dogs this weekend.... Hope you had a great weekend.
