PL 2013 bonus week

so, if you know anything about me, you know I get stuck on chronology. like seriously stuck. things MUST go in order.

so, at any rate, week 52 of 2013 left me with 3 remaining days in the year. what to do with them? do I just put them in the start of my 2014 book? AAAAGGGHHHHH!!!!! no. I just couldn’t handle that. I need my year all neatly tied up with a bow, ALL in the same book.

and so I made an extra week.

well, almost.

I have 2 empty slots that I’m hoping to fill with some pics that my MIL took.

saturday: yes, I know. another thing that drives me crazy. but I had this photo from saturday night and no place to put it, and I needed to fill slots, so here it is. my burger, the ‘captain neon’ and cajun tots, from our dinner out with kat and cole in centralia. it was SOOO good. I’ve been fantasizing about going back and having it again ever since.011

sunday: somewhere in southern oregon or northern california, on I-5. it was a pretty easy trip, other than the spilled ice cream in the car…020

monday: we were at gramma and papa’s house, and micah was convinced that means swimming. dave finally made him go put his feet in the water to see how it felt. he still wanted to swim because apparently, he “likes cold water”… not happening. also interesting, he refused to step where the sun was shining because he was afraid he’d burn his feet. LOL. there wasn’t much chance of that happening.021

tuesday: we had our ‘christmas morning’ and opened presents. my gift from dave was down there waiting for me. this awesome LONG, down, ‘soccer mom’ coat. I love it!!! sadly, it was too warm to wear it.2014-01-093

also tuesday: a little odd, but for some reason, I decided to flip my part. for the first time ever. no really. 024

hoping for a couple more, but that’s 2013!

Road Trip Day 6

Yesterday was our last full day in Milwaukee. Shane arrived in the morning, but promptly went to bed and slept most of the day, since he had caught a flight at midnight to get out here. Matt took the kids fishing for a little while in the afternoon. Layla caught 1, Lauren caught 1, and Micah caught 4. They also did a little canoeing. Then there was some swimming, where Lauren, Madeline, Micah, and Layla were all trying to flip Dave out of his donut floatie. It took them like 20 minutes and was pretty funny to watch. Also, his toenails were stupid-long and some kids got mauled. Later Melissa, Doug, and Josh came over. We played corn hole, basketball, badminton, and an epically terrible game of kickball at the park. Until Josh kicked the ball over the fence and lost it. Good times. We brought Matt some Woodinville Whiskey from home. And then we impressed everybody with our $2 Harbor Freight tennis racket bug zapper. And Simon decided that Shane was a good enough human.

Road Trip Day 8

We've been a full week on the road now. 2 more to go. We started our Sunday in church at St. Paul's, where Dave worked (and the reason we ever lived here in the first place) from 2004-2006. Then it was lunch at Hill's, a bit more driving around, and discussions of various places (the fairgrounds, the bridge that got blown up, etc.). Then we went to visit Fred and Brenda, and wound up riding around on 4 wheelers all afternoon. Then, back to Danny's for steak dinner - so yummy! And then over to the Lange's for some puppy time! And we finished off with soft serve in a baseball helmet at Frosty Boy. It was a great day. So awesome to see so many friends and visit important places. License plate and state stats are the same as yesterday.

how to cook a turkey–by layla, age 6

“you get the turkey from the wild, where the wild turkeys are. you catch it with a net. to prepare it, you cut off the legs and the bones, and the beak and the eyes, too. you can stuff it with stuffing that is made of chicken. then, you put it in a big pan and stick it in the oven. you cook it at 4 to 5 degrees for 11 minutes. then you serve it by taking it out of the oven, cutting it up a little, and putting some spices on it. then you put it on plates and people can dish up all the other food, too.”

Road Trip Day 2

When we went to bed on Sunday night, the plan was to get up at 6 and leave by 7. HA! We left our campground at 8:30 after coffee, eggs and bacon, showers, packing up the trailer, getting more ice for the cooler, etc, etc... There was also the part where we figured out that the heater in the trailer only works if you have the propane turned on. Otherwise it just blows cold air. And the other part where Micah got himself locked in the bathroom. The deadbolt on the door was super tight. Dave was super smart and pulled on the knob while Micah turned. Then we drove. A lot. Montana is a big state. In case you weren't aware of that. At some point, we stopped at a rest stop in Waco, MT that made Layla nervous. Pretty sure she thought she was going to die while using the toilet. We also saw some gone-to-seed weeds in the grass by the parking lot with gigantic dandelion-like puffballs. Layla was determined to blow one and risked her life by stepping into the grass to get one. When we got to ...

lug nut fail

notice anything odd? no, it’s not that my wheel is very dirty. that is not odd… yup. missing a lug nut. actually, not just the nut. the whole bolt. last night, dave set out to replace the front brakes which were in dire need of replacing. apparently, in the process of getting the wheel off, the bolt in question BROKE OFF, rather than just releasing the nut. hmmm… needless to say, I did not drive anywhere today!
