Nice times had by all

What a fantastic weekend!

Friday, good soccer practice, finished painting ceiling in kitchen and cleaned the whole house. My friend Debbie had me over for a soda on the sidewalk and I pulled her daughter, Jenna, on her Rollerblades. (She should be a hockey player)

Saturday: Molly and I went to a great baby shower and got some awesome presents. Our friends and family are so generous. I don't know what we would do without them. My dog, Lambeau, protected the presents while they were in the car. He even had a first aid kit for the present-napper. He would have mauled the thief within an inch of his life, then, like any good dog would, he'd make sure the guy was ok and continue on his lazy way. He is vicious when he needs to be.

So after the great baby shower, my dad buys a Camaro. In the immortal words of Forrest Gump..."And that's all I have to say about that."

Mother McCormick pulled off one of the greatest capers of all time when she lied to my sister Kim, making her believe that we (wifey and I) were heading to a surprise baby shower, when really, eleven of us were headed to a surprise birthday party for my sis Kim. She was very surprised. She does not cry often, and it was awesome in this case, as she was so happy to see her great friends from River Falls, her mom, dad, brother, and sister in law, future niece, and cousins (who are more like sisters) Robin, Dale, and Jill. Kim was so fooled by this lie she tried to give Mother McCormick the baby shower balloons and asked who else knew about the "surprise" from the cousins and Mother Navarre. Awesome Surprise. After we surprised my sis at Ho-Chunk casino, we traveled to the hotel to have some food and play some games. I watched as the Penguins got man-handled by the Senators...but wait. The Pens would make an amazing comeback capped off when Pascal DuPuis scored on a "twisted rista" from Jordan Staal. Fantastic ending and shenanigans to all of my penguins hater friends out there.

Finally, my wonderful wife and I made it back to Port Washington safe and sound with both dogs and a load of presents. I was able to finish the kitchen (as much as possible) and am proud to say that I didn't do too bad of a job if I do say so myself! I did a good job....It doesn't happen often, so I can say that it was worth the work. Now, I am done with dinner, I am going to watch some more hockey, and I am going to sleep very well. I hope all of the students were safe at prom this weekend and I hope the the girls soccer team can remain unbeaten with games on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.
By the way, if anyone cares (I do), the
Brewers were swept by the cubs over the weekend. This is about the only bad thing that happened all weekend.
Looking forward to masters classes on Monday night and pregnancy class on Wednesday. That makes for a darn full week up until next Sunday, when I hope I can say that the Brewers win.
Go Team Awesome Kitchen!!!
