My Weekend

Saturday we got to spend time with two of our precious munchkins...

Hannah and Ethan.

Started out at Ethan's house and got to visit with Rufus, too. 

Brought him a couple of "tweets" as Ethan would say,  ha ha.

These two already have quite a bond

Then Ethan and I went and picked up Hannah. We stopped off at Mickey D's.

Ethan was eating an apple slice until Hannah opened the Chicken Nuggets Box

Then the apple quickly came out of his mouth in exchange for one of these

Then it was time for ice cream. They gave me a teeny tiny cone for Ethan 

which he insisted on holding himself. (He was in Heaven)

Hannah's choice was an Oreo McFlurry

Then we drove home listening and singing to their favorite songs.

Papa was waiting at home (he had been at a day conference but beat us home)

Hannah wanted to go fishing...AND SHE CAUGHT A FISH!

She even touched it (yuck)

Ethan and I played on the front porch a bit then we all went inside 

where Hannah and Ethan played with his Batmobile.

Soon Ethan's mommy and daddy came to pick him up

but Hannah was spending the night.

We had LOTS of fun together

and even went through lots of Grandma's old jewelry. 

Hannah went home with a slew of it.

Before bed she showed me her new toothbrush...

it plays a two-minute song to help kids brush longer.

Her Aunt Mimi would be proud of her!

(Aunt Mimi aka Ethan's mommy, is a dental hygienist)

Sunday Morning we woke up, had breakfast and headed to church.

This is what was left behind to remind us that Hannah had been here :0)

After church we went to a friends house for lunch.

They had invited us over for a Proper English Meal

Shame on me, I didn't get a picture of the roasted chicken

but it was DELICIOUS!!! 

And so were the roasted potatoes, stuffing, and veggies

And let's not forget the Yorkshire Pudding

(I'm not sure why they call it "pudding" they are like Popovers)

but they were WONDERFUL!!!

Our friends are from England and whenever we get together 

I am always asking them about their culture and food, especially scones.
They are such lovely people.

They have three cats and had some adorable "Cat" items in their home

They have a beautiful home

A bit after dinner, we had dessert - an Eton Mess

It was Heavenly

And after a bit more conversation they prepared a proper tea and biscuits

We thoroughly enjoyed the time we spent with our friends

and then it was time to go home.

This nasty guy was waiting for us as we walked outside to get into our car.

I stumbled upon him first. 
Thank the LORD I saw him because this was NOT a friendly snake.

It was a Cottonmouth and then are very poisonous!

We snapped a few pictures and let our friends know that he was around

because of their three cats.

He slithered away and we were on our way. 

We had such a lovely weekend!

Hope you did, too!

P.S. I still miss Milli A LOT!!! Manny does too :0(
