Nathan and I puppy-sat for Becky and Joel this weekend while they were in Omaha visiting family. We had a great weekend with just us and Kodi, their fluffy white husky.
Friday night Mom, Lezlie, Nathan and I went to go see "The Wizard of Oz" at the Orpheum in Minneapolis. It wasn't a great show, but we had fun, and I got terrible blisters on the back of my heels from shoes I've worn a thousand times. It's a little strange, since they've never given me trouble before.
Saturday was an early morning, since mom and I had to be in Burnsville by 7:15 to coach volleyball. We picked up Starbucks on the way to keep us awake. Morgan and Kelly surprised us by coming to watch our team play, and Morgan stayed the whole day. It wasn't a great day for the team, but it was fun to see Morgan. I miss her lots these days.
Sunday night Nathan and I had a bonfire in the back yard. It was so fun just to snuggle up and talk for a couple of hours by the fire. After that we play Bananagrams and some card games. The best thing about this weekend is being able to play music or talk any time of the day without worrying about waking the neighbors.
We are going to head home in an hour or two here, because we have some things to do, but I don't really want to leave. We've both grown very attached to Kodi (I'm thinking of dog-napping him) and I like this house...particularly the fridge, which Becky stocked full of all sorts of delicious things for us.
Anyway, I'm going to go finish packing and fold some laundry. (we took advantage of the free washer and drier...we have to pay two dollars a load at our place) Love to you all!

You have to "pack" after a weekend at Becky's? How much crap did you bring?! Sounds like a fun time playing house, but it doesnt sound like you had much time there with just you Nathan and Kodi.
ReplyDeleteAll day Sunday was just us, and all day today. it was lovely.
ReplyDeleteThanks for house sitting Lissa! Feel free to dop-nap him any time. We got home and got really sick so, not to spare any details, Joel was trying to clean the porch and had to go outside to throw up. Guess who followed him outside and escaped? :) Yep, your favorite pooch. He showed up 4 hours later at the front door.
ReplyDeleteOh no! I feel so bad for you! To get home and get sick right away. Hope you feel better now!
ReplyDeleteHahah! I'm sorry to gloat, but I'm glad I dont have the only run-away husky!!! Im glad Kodi finally got over his well-behavedness and learned to jump a fence! At least you know they love you when they leave the big wide world of squirrel- and deer-chasing to return to you :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, you know they love you...or they're hungry.
