VERY FUN BUT BUSY WEEKEND!!!

I am actually getting a post out in a timely manner instead of weeks or months :)
Friday- Ashlee brought home her interim and has made GREAT strides so far this year!!! Then we took a huge step and left Allysa and Julia in charge of their siblings so we ( Langs and Mascos) could attend Heather D's BIG 40!! Initially, we said we would be home by 9:30 (more like 11) and took bets on who would call first !!! I am surprised to say- NO ONE called and the Lang's house was still standing and there was NO blood shed!!! Heather had a great party and I got to know Allysa's "boyfriend" ( I say that loosely since it is only 6th grade) parents better!!! We found out his stepdad went to Bethany so we spent alot of time talking about the Valley and PGH!! What a small world! One thing I will say- they have a GREAT dynamic and BC is one lucky boy to have is parents ( mom, dad , stepdad) get along so well!! GREAT family!

Saturday- I took Ashlee to her first OSU game!!! What a PERFECT day: SUNNY plus the BUCKS won!!! Ashlee enjoyed herself and of course you saw my last post so you are up to date there :)!
I think the BIGGEST thrill was too see Terrelle Pryor bend down and make sure he shook/hit each of the 4 girls hand!! He really went out of his way and it was not until he stood up the Brenda and I realized what had happened!!! In the slide show you will see him I got a pic as he stood up !!! What a neat experience!
After we got home we went car shopping with Kevin! He was told his car needed more work than it was worth so we went looking and then to dinner. After that I was DONE!!!!

Sunday- it was the usual minus a Steeler game and the fact we went pumpkin picking!!! We tend to cheat there and go to my Aunt's neighbor who plants them every year! It is great- NO crowds, no waiting and FREE!!! Next up the D2 Cowboys who are not having the best season but those boys play their heart out!!!!
Kevin showed up late after buying his car- a 2008 Honda Accord but he is happy it has a sunroof and is getting closer to what he wants!

Up this week- my new floors and doors get installed!!!!

0 for 2.....

Well, the weekend did not go quite as expected. The Phins lost by one point 7 to 6. We have friends who have a son on the opposing team and needless to say there had been some trash talking earlier in the week. I felt really bad for the Hiles and Langs who were probably tortured later that evening. The good news, the local news did not mention a disturbance on Heirship Court. The weekend got worse( football wise) when the BUCKS decided not to show up to play. We new it would be tough but we were just hoping that if we lost then it would at least be by a respectable margin(NOT). Obviously the news and papers have not been gentle nor do I blame them and most of us are still recovering.
Now to salvage the weekend, my hopes are with the STEEELERS!!! Although there are a few who will be very happy if the STEELERS lost( you know who you are). However, they are playing in Cleveland and right now we are are under a major wind advisory courtesy of Hurricane Ike. Shingles are coming off roofs everywhere and many do not have electricity( we remain lucky). So, that will make the game even more interesting. Below are a few pics of our future BUCKEYES and a video of the Dolphin Cheerleaders.

The girls gave up and went to coloring and creating art work.
