My Weekend in Pictures

Hello dear friends.  I hope that you are having a good week.  July is my "maintenance" month.  I am very busy but not having much fun.  Yesterday was my physical, today blood work and next week includes fun things like teeth cleaning, mammogram, and eye doctor. 

There are also a couple of fun things going on this week.  Sista is coming in to spend the night tonight!  She has business in Beantown tomorrow.   

So, because of Sista's royal visit, I am not participating in Hodgepodge this week because I'm not going to have the time to work on it.  Instead, I put together a little post showing the highlights of our weekend.    

Thanks to all you wonderful readers, I took your advice and picked up a thunder shirt for Little Miss Crazy Pants.  The lady at Petco told me to not only have her wear it during "stressful" times but also during the calm moments so she won't associate her new fashion accessory with hysteria.  So, we had her sleep in it for a couple of nights.  Here are some photos of Chili's introduction to her thunder shirt.  By the way... we don't call it thunder shirt in front of her, we call it her jammies.

The Mister is the only one in our family that actually reads directions.  The girls and I usually try to "wing it" and then complain to him that the "darn thing" doesn't work!!

Looks more like a cross between a bullet proof vest and a straight jacket to me.

Good luck Mister, last time I tried to put a hair bow in her hair I almost lost a finger.

Help me Mom!!

  All geared up and then there is silence.

The clock is ticking.  It seems like we've been watching her for 3 days.  Not a movement.  Not even a blink of an eye.

 Chow: Dad... are you sure you put it on right?

Me:  Mister, Is she still breathing?   

AND SHE'S UP!!!!

and giving a look reminiscent of my girls' teenage years!!

Chili:  I had more fun when I was homeless...

On Saturday, we did a little work in the yard.  The only things that actually loved the snow last winter were the hydrangeas. 

We then decided to regain our strength with some nourishment.  The Mister asked me where I wanted to go for lunch and I gave him my classic answer:  anywhere on the water.  We decided to go to one of our favorite places in Scituate. 

I ordered a delicious beet salad.  It seems like beets have become very popular on menus lately.  I've eaten so many beets my skin has developed a purple hue. 

The Mister had his beloved fried clams - his favorite thing (except for me) in the whole world.

Note to self:  make an appointment for the Mister's physical.

Sunday was another beautiful day.  We went to Mass and then had lunch at another one of our favorite waterfront spots in Cohasset. 

Instead of ogling the Mister, I couldn't take my eyes off this stunning house across the water. 

As usual, I ordered a salad.  It was watermelon and feta and I've got to tell you that's the best combination since peanut butter and jelly!

You can pretty much guess what the Mister ordered.

Note to self:  call the Life Insurance agent and increase the Mister's coverage.

No, we did not purposely dress in the same color.  
Our stylists made us do it.

Enjoy your week.

Until next time...
