Emma's been sick (sinus infection) the last few days but I took her to the doctor yesterday morning and got her an antibiotic. Hopefully that will fix her up quickly so she can go back to school on Monday! She's been a really good sport about it this time around.
In other news, it's only 42 degrees here today (May 8!) and it's supposed to FREEZE tonight! :( I've got to bring in my flowers...

I love me some freebies!!!
I am absolutely into registering for freebies online! I love getting the samples in the mail. It's like shopping without spending any money... Freebies 4 Mom is the best site, while Surviving the Stores and Northern Cheapskate are also great for freebie links.

May 1 & 2, 2010
Just wanted to document this weekend...I'm going to TRY to do this more often so I can chronicle our lives.
This weekend was gorgeous, weather-wise. Sunny and 70's. It doesn't get much better than that in Iowa. Saturday, May 1, Steve, the kids & I headed to Waverly around noon so Steve & I could attend Josh Dean's Surprise 30th birthday party at the Fainting Goat. We dropped the kids off at Applebee's to eat on their own, which they later told us they enjoyed. Emma said she had the best dessert EVER! :) Anyway, Steve & I sat with Kady & Jason Korbel and Mark & Keanna Wackwitz and Josh was very surprised when he walked in. He also liked his "Horny Goat Weed" vitamins that we gave him :) We only stayed until 2, then picked up the kids, headed to Hy-Vee to get beer for the Crawfish Boil and then returned to Charles City to be here when Joe got here. He arrived, we chatted and then got ready to leave. We headed to Rockford to pick up Alex and then went to Paul & Kelly's. The party was really fun this year! Spent a lot of time talking to Darla & Gary Pyle, and of course, Joe, Alex & Steve. We headed home around 11 but had a great time!
We sleep in til 10 then I made breakfast. We hung out for a while and then Mitchell, Emma, Joe & I took the short drive out to Stillwater's Greenhouse WHICH WAS CLOSED! :( But it was a beautiful day for a drive. Then we headed to DQ for a treat, showed Joe the salon and then went to Bluhm's Greenhouse where I got 2 hanging floral baskets. Then we came home, talked to Joe for a little while, then he left and then Steve & I worked in the yard. We ended the evening by watching The Simpsons, having a couple pizzas and then watching "Back to the Future II".
All in all, a great weekend. We are all in better moods now, thank the Lord! :)
