Decision time

This weekend went by too fast. I had a great time at the lake with my Mom and Elizabeth. This is a picture of her wearing my hat. I had to bribe her with plastic horses to get her to pose with it on for 10 seconds while I took the picture. Having a niece is great because they go home to their parents when you're done with them. But spending the whole weekend with her was a lot of fun.

So my poll has run its course and we've decided to go with the happy sun weathervane. I deliberately left off the prices so that wouldn't enter into the decisionmaking, but it has entered into our decisionmaking. The dragon vane is over 20 times more expensive than the sun, and that really made up our minds for us.

It's a good thing that I can't find a Red Sox weathervane because that would be my first choice. I'm sure I'd have a huge fight from Robert, though.

Happy Birthday Elizabeth!

It has been a very relaxing weekend. Friday night I put the dogs in the kennel and drove to Northwood Lake to spend the weekend with my mother and sisters and niece. I've been relaxing, reading and watching baseball pretty much the whole time. The weather has been hot and muggy but the airconditioning takes care of that nicely. Today is the same, hot and muggy but also cloudy and raining. Go figure.

Today, one of my favorite people in the whole world turns three. Happy Birthday, Elizabeth! We celebrated her birthday with a party for the family last night. She got some great books and 2 princess dresses. Today she has been impressing everyone by going around saying "Dammit, my hat is missing." We are trying to ignore her foul language and to not encourage her by laughing, but it's hard not to! It's so funny when she does that. There's a good reason that I'm not a parent.
