This past week has been crazy! It all starts with Thanksgiving. We went to Frankie's brothers house for Thanksgiving. They made two turkeys... yup you read that right two turkeys! One was baked in the oven and other one was deep fried. And I must say they were both awesome! I ate so much turkey, and of course everything else that goes with that great meal. Then that night we headed to my parents house where we played a little Texas Hold'em and ate more turkey! I am starting to think that Thanksgiving is the best Holiday ever!
But then came Friday. I of course had to work on the Nations biggest shopping day. I worked 7am-5pm. And let me tell you the mall was crazy... but my store was pretty quite, imagine that people weren't buying work boots on the busiest shopping day of the year. But I had it easy, becuase back at home Frankie and my dad were beginning another home remodeling project. Yup that's right another one. When will it end? They started to install the new windows. We got all new windows for the main level (except Colton's room, those were done before he was born!). They worked on the windows all day Friday, all Saturday and finished up on Sunday. The one that took the longest was our big bay window in the living room, but it is all worth it. The windows look awesome. We just have to put the trim around them and they are done!
Monday I worked again and then I tried to get the house back in order. Let me tell you, there was sawdust on everything!
Then Tuesday we decided we needed a break so we went to the Mall for most of the afternoon. We went to Underwater World. Which is awesome if you have never been there. Colton loved it, you are in a tunnel with fish and SHARKS all around you. He just layed in his stroller and starred! Then we decided to go see the World's Largest Gingerbread House, which was okay but not worth a special trip. Then the best part... we went to see Santa. We were a little worried that Colton would cry, but instead he just laughed and smiled the whole time. It was so much fun.
So that covers my crazy week. Today I am just sitting at home doing nothing and it is kinda nice. Although I do need to do some laundry. Frankie started his new job today. He is back at the Crowne Plaze in St Paul. He is the Executive Sous Chef. He was pretty excited so I hope his first day back is a good one. They are putting in a new resturant at the hotel, and once the new one opens the Carousel will be history. So if you want to go you better hurry, becuase by May it will no longer exist!
Other than all that craziness, I am going to see A White Christmas at the Ordway on Sunday and I am so excited. I have never been to the Ordway, I hope it is good... which of course it will be .
Is that a legless Santa?! What is going on? Colton looks adorable, and other than Santa missing his legs, that Santa looks pretty believable. I'm jealous of your fun day at MOA! I need a day like that.
ReplyDeleteOk, seriously, I am so jealous that you are going to White Christmas, I wanted to go SO BADLY, but the tickets were just so expensive! Buddy, have fun, I am so jealous.
ReplyDeleteAnd you guys should come over Saturday night, please please please, I want to do something so badly. Colton's welcome as well! We don't see him enough, and it looks like he's getting so darn big.
