...And Who Should We See?.....

We went to Five Guys tonight....and WHO should I see? My Megan was hard at work. She was everywhere! When we walked in, she took our order. Later, she was wiping tables, sweeping the floor and restocking napkins.

It's still hard for me to believe that my baby is growing up. Uhhhhh....the years have flown by way too quickly.

Soup Nite

As usual, we came home from work hungry & ready to eat. So,...taco soup for dinner it was. I really should make this more often because it's quick & easy to make, AND everyone loves it. Megan especially loves my taco soup. Ummm.... I know what we will be having again for dinner tomorrow night. :)

Doing Homework?...

So, tonight I was trying to find a computer to use, but these little computer hogs were using them both. When I asked them what they were doing, they both said they were doing their homework. Hmmm.... Now, I may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but I think they were Facebooking.
Come on now! Who smiles so much while doing homework?

Oh, and check out Nicole's screen. ???? That looks like Facebook to me!

Art Work

I love the fact that Megan still draws & colors pictures for me, even though she is 16 years old. When my girls were little, they would draw & color pictures for me all of the time, and I so loved their "art work." This picture just put a big smile on my face. :)

Creepin'

Kevin & I wanted to watch Megan "work" at her new job, so we drove to Five Guys, turned off the lights & parked right in front of the restaurant. Nobody even noticed that we were there. We didn't want to be spotted, so we took only one picture with my cell phone. Later, I had to zoom in to see my Megan. She's all the way on the left. :)

Is the creeping normal? I was only trying to watch my baby at her first job. :D I sincerely think that one day she will thank me for this picture. Of course, it won't be for another 20 years or so. ;)

No Kiddos

So our kids left us all by ourselves on Friday night. Since Megan has a J.O.B. at Five Guys now, she had to go to work. Her friend Yazmin came over for a few minutes after school & then they both left for work. Yazmin too has a job. She works at the Salad Express & Megan helped get the job. It's really funny because these two eateries are right next to each other. :)

Nicole too had something to do. She went to a friend's house to help her babysit, and she spent the night too.

Here's Nicole trying to get her stuff ready before she left. Kevin & I were telling her to stay with us, but she wanted to go.

Again, Kevin & I didn't know what to do without our girls. I went walking, and later, Kevin & I went to see a movie. We saw "For Colored Girls" (or something like that). I really thought it was going to be better because it's a Tyler Perry movie. My advice to you,....don't go see it. Wait until it comes out on DVD.



Off for Veterans' Day

Both Kevin & I had Veterans' Day off. So, what were we suppose to do? The kids had school, so we couldn't bring them along with us. We started by going to Wollie World to get Kevin some glasses. Now that he's almost in his MID 40's, he needs help seeing. Of course, he was just being silly & tried these glasses on. I took a picture of him & sent it to Megan & Nicole, and I told them that THESE were the glasses he wanted. Nicole quickly sent me a text & told me not to let him get this pair. hehehehe....
Around lunch time, we went & had some BBQ. Yummy! We ALWAYS go to Smoky Bones when we have a day off together & the girls are in school. Do we feel badly for not taking our children? No, we have taken them to Smoky Bones & they really didn't care of it. So, that's where we go when the kids are off at school

Later, we came home & relaxed on this comfy couch. Oh how I love this couch. :) Ahhhhh...it's like Heaven in my living room. :) I took a nap on it, and Kevin napped on the floor. Later, we were just being silly while the girls were out of the house.

We had a nice day off. AND, do you know what made it better? The fact that we had Friday off too! :) I just love 4 day weekends.

Girls Nite Out II

Tonight, the girls & I went out to Panera Bread. We had broccoli soup in the bread bowls. I don't know which was better, the soup or the bowl. I will tell you that the company was great!
Thank you, girls for taking me out again. :D

Girls Nite Out I

Kevin went TDY (Temporary Duty - aka as a business trip) to Indiana. He, along with some of his coworkers, went to check out some military working dogs. Since the girls and I were alone, we decided to have a "Girls Nite Out" and go to the movies. We watched "Easy A" which I am positive Kevin was happy he didn't have to watch. ;) I have to admit, I didn't think I was going to like the movie, but I did enjoy it. We laughed a lot, and there was a lesson that the girls could take from it.

Dallas Cowboys

OK, so Kevin is a huge Dallas Cowboys fan, AND he's been a faithful fan. I took the picture above BEFORE the game started - hence the smile. (I think he actually thought they were going to win. ???) ANYHOW, I took the picture below AFTER the Cowboys got their butts whooped by the Green Bay Packers.

Maybe they will have a better season NEXT year. ;)
