From Grands to Daughters to Hockey! A Busy Wednesday and Thursday!

I got a fresh haircut Wednesday morning before heading over to Dallas to spend some time with Amber while the kids were at school.

We visited in the kitchen while Amber did the dishes and then watched Forest Gump together.

We love that movie!

Then it was time to pick the kids up at school and I treated us all to a trip to get yogurt!

Would you just look at how they have grown???

Remember when they looked like this??

Amber and I try to squeeze in a little time together as often as we can.

I love the after school time when we go in the kitchen and they all empty their lunch boxes.

They either dump the food out that they didn't eat - or if I am there - they give it to me!

Sometimes all five of us clean up any leftovers!

I like seeing what they are doing in school and looking over their papers.

Logan had her dad print off this sheet so she could fill it out and give it to me to take home.

The first one is that I like to leave a treat in their car seats for when they get out of school.

I started that a few years ago when their parents went to Hawaii for their anniversary....

and I just keep on doing it whenever I am along for school pickup.

I stayed until after traffic and came home to spend some time with Louis Dean.

He had NOT cooked while I was gone but he DID go out and get a hamburger!

This morning I drove to Rowlett to take Summer to get an upper and lower GI.

Look at these cute Trick or Treat things she made!

You slip a regular size candy bar in the open end and just pull the ribbon to get it out!

She made enough for Rayne's classroom.

Here we are waiting for them to call her back.

That daughter of mine is always smiling for the camera!

I'm so happy to say that she got a good report!

Her procedure was at 2:45 so it had been a long time since she had eaten anything.

We went to Main Street Bistro for a late lunch and it was delicious as always!

The empty dish is because we were so hungry we ate it all before I thought to take a pic.

They do such beautiful presentations.

For the first time in FOREVER - Summer was COLD!!

Probably from the procedure but it's unusual for it to ever be too cold for her.

We even changed tables and I went out to the car to get her a blanket!

She is so pretty and she is so sweet!

I tucked her in and told her goodnight and drove home right after the rush hour traffic.

But our day was not over yet!

Mike has been playing hockey as well as the all four of the quads. 

The kids had practice earlier in the evening but his game wasn't until 8:45 so we went to watch him play.

I kept my eyes on #12!!

I cheered for the BLUE team because I could not bring myself to yell,

"Go, SWAMP DONKEYS!!!"

Our handsome son-in-law!

Son-in-love is more like it!

We are so very proud of him.

He is truly a man among men.

All the guys went upstairs after the game and we joined them.

We had so much fun!!!
They play again on Saturday night and we are going to be there!!

Now I am off to shower and go to bed!
We have a fun weekend coming up.
I was praying today on my way to Rowlett and back.....
I am grateful we are able to do as much as we do.
We may burn out but we sure won't rust out!!
