Trip to Minneapolis

So, I took a couple of pictures on our trip, but I can't put them up yet. Henry, our beagle, chewed through our cord to our camera. I went to Walmart, Target and Staples, but nobody had the right cord, so I had to order one on the internet. I will have to post them once I get it

Justin and I left Sunday morning and drove through lovely rain to get to Minneapolis. Once we got there we went straight to Target Center to watch the Minnesota Timberwolves play the Oklahoma Thunder. We had pretty good seats for the game, but it wasn't too exciting of a game. We enjoyed the dunking show at half-time though. After the game we headed back south to find our hotel. There is a LOT of construction going on, but we managed to find it. We had to sit and watch some of the NCAA games of course. So far I am ahead of Justin and my brother in-law. Then we went and ate at PF Changs and had some yummy lettuce wraps. Right next to PF Changs was a Cheesecake Factory, so we got a piece to take back to the hotel.

The next day we went to the Mall of America. It was a very big mall, but somehow I imagined it to be even bigger. We did some shopping, rode a couple of rides, went to the aquarium, and played miniature golf. We ate yummy shrimp at Bubba Gumps along with my mango pina colada. YUM! We were at the mall from 10-7:30. By then our legs were sore and we were tired of walking, so we headed back to our hotel.

Tuesday we went to a couple of stores and then headed home. We stopped briefly at an outlet mall and then later for dinner. We got home by 7 Tuesday night. It was so nice to get away for a couple of days. Our dogs missed us. Thanks to my mom, brother in-law and a girl from the youth group for taking care of them.

Now we are back to our home and all of the things we need to do here. We have started painting our family room in the basement. We already painted our living room, hallway and office. Next we will be on to our bedroom/bathroom if I can ever pick out a color.

Busy, busy, busy

Not much has been going on in our world... Just busy with work. We have Kindergarten Round-up this week and then report cards will be going home along with conferences, so I have lots to do this week before spring break! Justin's mom came in town for the weekend. It was nice to see her. Justin is with the youth group at a hockey game this afternoon, so I am at home relaxing, doing laundry and reading Twilight. Since half of my school has read them, now it is my turn. One of the teachers is having a Twilight party on Saturday, so my goal is to finish it by then.

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

At school we have been having fun reading lots of Dr. Seuss books. In Kindergarten we do a rotation on Dr. Seuss' birthday. I got to be in charge of making green eggs and ham this year. Since my husband has such a flexible schedule I made him come help me along with another mom. I couldn't have done it without them. It was a lot of work! Not only did my hands stay green all day, but my room smelled like eggs and ham all day. It still smells like it today. There are 3 Kindergarten classes, so we got to make them 3 times. In the other classes they got to make ooblek and hats. During my class I was passing out eggs, when I heard somebody spill milk. I went to see who it was and got my foot caught in someone's chair and fell on my knee. It still hurts really bad and I will probably have a lovely bruise. I had to fill out a workman's comp paper in case something happens with it. The rest of the day my kids kept trying to rub it for me. They are very sweet! It was an interesting day! Unfortunately the only pictures I have are my kids and I can't put them on here. I should have taken a picture of Justin cooking... oh well..
