weekend recap

friday kaylee and mike went bowling with one of mike's co-workers, wife and kid.  they came back to see the new house afterwards and stayed for awhile.  kaylee and abby got along great and had fun feeding the fish in the pond, playing in the backyard and riding the jammin' jeep together.  once they left we headed over to the big mall with ham since he only had half a day of school.  my baby needed some new jeans and mama desperately wanted her new computer.  after trying on like 15 pairs of jeans, we ended up buying 2.  and ham, being a typical male, was already sick of shopping.  we headed over to granite city for some dinner.  hard it is to believe but this was my and mike's first meal for the day and boy were we starving.  the food is good but a bit pricey.  kaylee's kids meal, a bowl of pasta, ended up being $5.49 and you know she only ate like 3 bites.  we ended up buying a growler too after considering the refill prices will eventually pay off.  [a growler is a nice jug full of beer.  mike said he got about 4-5 pint glasses out of it] so we headed home only to remember that mama didn't get her computer.  mike was ready to head back but i didn't want his $25.00 beer to spoil.

saturday i took ham to take his drivers test.  he passed.  then we headed over to the bmv for the written test and new licenses for me.  did you know it cost 10 bucks for  a new one and all i wanted to do was update my address?  and did you know that both eyebrows have to be shown and no teeth in order for them to take your picture?  so now i really look like a convict.  ham ended up passing the written test- was there any doubt?  he missed 4.  8 is allowed.  some other kid missed 12.  i hope he studies.  so ham is now a legal licensed driver. my baby is allowed to drive.  under the circumstances, i am calm and ok with it.  ham is a responsible person {i hope i'm not in denial} and i'm glad we ended up getting him a nicer car.  no donuts in the parking lots, no flying over railroad tracks etc...  afterwards, mike and i, along with kaylee went to best buy and got me a computer.  a 24" mac.  and i am in love. i just wish i knew how to do all the things on it like with the pc. {i don't know how to change an image from a website to jpeg to post on my blog}  but it will only be a matter of time.   the rest of the evening was spent with brent and his daughter coming over for a little bit.

to end out the busy weekend, sunday we did absolutely nothing.  kaylee ended up getting her grub on.  she ate so much throughout the day that nothing was left for monday.
