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!!!!

It has been awhile.....

Well, this is for Stefanie( love you)who got on my case for not having a post since last weekend so here it is...
It was a busy week as usual but this one was due to me going out of town for work and I started phyiscal therapy( like I need something else to do). I went to Kansas for a conference and to present on medication safety. Yes, I think it went well but will say this is the most I have ever been so nervous. On the funnier side, Christa's daughter Ella called and asked if I was going to sleep in Dorothy's bed. I said no( of course she was disappointed ) but I explained it was probably not a good idea since it gets blown a way by the tornado which leads me to my next update.
On Sunday, all of central Ohio was dealt a blow from Hurricane Ike, many still do not have power. We watched siding, blow up pools shingles blow through the neighborhood and old trees turned into firewood. We were lucky and did not lose power but the girls did earn days off of school. After this adventure, I would prefer not to experience the true wrath of a hurricane.
The weekend was kicked off with Christa and I hosting a pampered chef party. We both love the stuff so why not try and get as much free product as you can. We had a nice turn out. It was nice to see everyone!
Now, we start our football weekend so I will log off as always. Have a great weekend.
