Sunday Snippings

So the weekend wasn't all that it was CRACKED up to be...

1. Friday's attempt to be seen by my doctor resulted in a few missed calls by her office (due to the fact I WAS AT WORK AND THAT'S WHERE I CALLED FROM IN THE FIRST PLACE!) So, taking the advice from the ADVICE nurse, whom I spoke with earlier that day, I placed myself into the Urgent Care Office on Saturday morning. After being prescribed an antibiotic for my numb, sore, can't-breathe face, I had hoped for a delicious Crab Feed dinner that night. It didn't happen. Still could not taste a thing. I had to pretend to enjoy my food. And that's how it went the entire time. I was bummed.
   
   
2. We were threatened with a horrendous storm to blow through the Valley for the weekend. 70 mph winds, horizontal rain, low snow, etc. Waiting, waiting, waiting....and, screw it, I'm getting out of the house and getting the boys' haircuts. Not sure what happened to the storm.

Grandma Gertie came over to help me wrestle what I thought would be an out-of-control, snotty nosed two-year old at the hair salon. Instead, I was granted the most behaved sitting at a haircut EVER! It was unbelievable. I'm not sure if it was the prep-talking about the ordeal we were about to endure that did it OR the threat of Grandma watching OR the sucker reward that was waiting at the end OR maybe it was the camera? Certainly, Grandma wouldn't take pictures of the disaster we usually go through, or would she? We ended our outing with a trip to purchase birthday presents for next weekend's parties and the weekly trip to Costco. Thanks to Grandma Gertie for making our outing more enjoyable while Rudy played with filing taxes. Blech!

Donovan's BEFORE and AFTER - what a difference!

Dominic insisted on the "faux hawk" again.
He was disappointed to have it washed out in tonight's bath.
(I'm not sure why he had to sit at the "Princess" booth.
He never really noticed anyway.)
