Our weekend

This weekend was pretty busy. Friday, we went to dinner with my brother Doug and my grandparents and aunt and uncle who were down from Boise for the weekend. Saturday we ran errands in the rain (and snow), in particular for Wyatt's birthday present. We took him his present that evening and then went home and rooted for the Sharks, who came back for an overtime win. We probably woke up some neighbors screaming around midnight or whenever the game ended. We'll be yelling like crazy tonight too, once the game finally comes on!

Yesterday was Don's dad's birthday party, with the regular Don-and-Wyatt mayhem! Here's them actually sitting still for a change. Wyatt hasn't been brainwashed or anything!

Freedom, and my mean husband

Last night was Don's final night working graveyard shift. We're confident he'll find a new job soon; he just applied for a job at BYU which will be great for letting him take the pre-requisite classes he needs to get into grad school.

So last night he got in around 2:30 AM, having only needed to work half a shift. This is basically what happened when he walked in.

Don: Maggie, get up, it's time for you to go to work!
Maggie (groggy and too blind to see the clock without my glasses or contacts): Groan. I'm so tired!
Don: Get up, you have to be at work!
Maggie: Give me fifteen more minutes!
Don: No, you'll be late for work.
Maggie: Fifteen more minutes!
Don: Do you know what time it is?
Maggie: Fifteen more minutes!
Don: No, you'd better wake up.
(At which point I stumble out of bed scowling, grab the alarm clock and figure out what time it really is. Don starts laughing, I groan again and crawl back into bed)
Don: Aw, you have such a mean husband.
Maggie: Hmph!

I don't know why he thought it was so funny last night, although I am laughing about it this afternoon.

Another Friday night with Wyatt

This is what happens on Friday nights when we have Wyatt come over:




1. Playtime with Uncle Gonny














2. Making messes with Aunt Maggie










3. Uncle Gonny conks out for a bit (Wyatt took this picture!)
