Well, I Went

I went to the farm for the weekend after all. I still didn't feel the greatest, but Ryan and I set off after daycare and arrived at the farm about 8:15 pm (after a diaper-change pit stop at Heather's). Everyone was surprised to see how big and bright my Baby-Boo has become. He even slept in the crib upstairs and didn't wake up until 7:30 am! Saturday was mostly all Ryan and Marnie time with my parents, and I started eating real food. Yum.

Saturday afternoon, I even got to take a little trip while Grandma babysat. I met H and Christy at the scrapbooking store in Oelwein and then we took Christy for ice cream. She is a sweetie and is fun to watch because she buys her scrapbooking supplies based on what she thinks is cool, not because she has specific pictures to go with it. She bought some paper with chocolate bunnies on it and some Las Vegas stickers.

Saturday night was my grandpa's 91st birthday party. It was a huge success. Mom cooked a delicious meal. We had roast beef, mashed potatoes, gravy, rolls, broccoli casserole, cauliflower/bacon salad, and Wacky cake. Nicky even baked some banana bread for us. Heather and I were confused because mom put dishes of jam on the tables for the rolls, and we both thought it was cranberry sauce. We couldnt' figure out why the hell you would put cranberry sauce on roast beef! Ryan entertained the adults after supper and the Hansen kids watched Harry Potter. The funniest part of the night was when Ryan discovered the barrette in H's hair. He grabbed it and would not let go. Instead of helping her, I took pictures. Ryan was up until almost 10 pm, but he crashed 15 minutes after everyone left.

Ryan screamed with nightmares for part of the night, and my stomach woke me up early (not good) but Ryan slept until 7 am. We just hung out the rest of the morning, and we left for Des Moines at 1:30. It rained all the way back to Des Moines, but it was a good trip.

When I got back, Todd was home :) so we had family bonding and then we watched the Sopranos. I made waffle fries and chicken breasts with cream of chicken soup for supper, and Todd loved it. He proclaimed it was the best meal he had ever had since - last week. (He is only home for supper one night a week). He is easy to please. The more boring the meal, the more he likes it. I went to bed early and Todd crashed on the couch.

It was a good but tiring weekend. Now I hear H and Kurt have my stomach ick.
