Busy Weekend

Katie and Hawkeye watching the "Puppy Bowl" on the Animal Planet Network. Not sure which one is more intently watching.... wish she would pay this much attention to football !?!

Katie and I at the Iowa Women's BB game on Sunday before the Super Bowl. I had to bribe Katie with a promise of getting some Itty Bitz (Dipp'n Dots)....

Katie and Lauren

We had a really busy weekend!! On Friday night we celebrated our friend Mary's birthday - Katie by staying at Mary's house with her daughter having pizza and Kelly by going out with Mary and friends. My head hurt from laughing so hard at supper - I think that I just may have the funniest and funnest friends ever!! Katie and Marisa played their DSi games and Wii all night and she was not happy when I came to pick her up!

On Saturday, Katie had her Indian Creek Nature Center Girl Scout outing. Her new leader is great and they are really getting to do a lot of fun things. Katie had a blast being out in nature and I was quite pleased that the temperature wasn't too cold for all those girls.

Super Bowl Sunday kicked off with Katie and I heading to Iowa City to see the Women's BB team take on the Penn State Nittany Lions. We snuck down to the front row and sat right behind the PSU team bench. Right next to us was the PSU fans - and all five of them were LOUD. Katie sat and played her DSi the whole game, and the Hawks came up short, but it was fun and I can't wait to go back for the Wisconsin game in a couple of weeks!

We then hurried home to get to our friend Heather's house for the Super Bowl game. It was a great game, great food and again, fabulous friends!! I'm extremely happy that the Green Bay Packers are once again Super Bowl Champs!!

When we got home Katie and Hawkeye started watching the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. I made the mistake of telling Katie that it was for dogs that needed to be adopted. She then proceeded to beg, plead and borrow to get me to agree that we need another dog. I kept telling her that I could barely handle the one dog we had.... to which she made the promise heard in households around the world, "But Mom, if we get another dog, I'll take care of her!! I promise!!" I laughed and said something to the effect of "yeah, right!". Next thing a I know she is busy writing on a piece of paper which she then hands me and says, "Here it is in writing.... If you initial here, here and sign here like I did you'll believe me that I will take care of the dog." Basically, she presented me with a contract.... I told her that I had to have my lawyer look at it first before signing anything.... Just when I think that she is SO like her father, she does something SO like me!!
