What We've Been Up To Lately

Hi everyone - 

The last couple of weeks have been full. We've been doing a lot and just getting out and about.

Chuck, Beth and I went to see the Sound of Music a couple weeks ago. It was in the theaters to celebrate it's 60th year. I didn't realize it had come out that long ago. When it started I got so excited and when it got to this point:

I actually got butterflies in my stomach and I began to tear up! Just hearing the music again was so nostalgic.

Beth and I sang along, but we were very quiet. Thankfully there was no one directly in front of us. :) We were the first ones there. I like to get there early so we aren't trying to find our seats in the dark. Beth goes to karaoke every week and the week after we saw this, she decided to sing Do Re Me.

Beth and I went out shopping last week and stopped for lunch. Reb Robin's fries are the best and she recently discovered their honey mustard sauce. So good! We decided to take a selfie afterward and ended up laughing so hard!

Let's see, we both went to the dentist. Just regular cleanings.

Next week we're going to get our hair cut. We've decided we just want the same styles we've had, but our hair has grown out, so back to shoulder length.

Chuck and I went to the Mariner's game last night. We were in the nose bleed section but it was fun! Had hotdogs and cracker jacks! Wouldn't be a baseball game without them! And the Mariners won, we're going to the playoffs! And the Seahawks are doing well so the entire city of Seattle has been excited! Everywhere you go people are talking about them. 

The family is all doing well. We celebrate Sharaya and Beth's birthdays next week. We've been shopping and trying to plan things. Beth showed me the birthday cake she wants, and she sent us her birthday list. She told Sharaya she needed to send hers too. Bossy big sister.  :)

I hope you all have a great weekend!

If It's On the Menu Board...

Today was a holiday for Beth, Diana and me. Chuck had to work but the rest of us slept in and relaxed most of the day.

Beth spent a lot of time downstairs watching movies and writing. She writes names with her pens and then goes over them with markers. This was taken about a year ago, but now she's writing only proper names.

Each section begins with the same letter but each page has numerous sections. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it but she does this for hours. I've asked her where she gets the ideas for the names and she shrugs her shoulders, "I dunno." I think she does know, I've just never pressed the issue. :)

Diana was in the mood to watch movies today so she put in Sound of Music and we curled up on the couch for a while. Love that movie.

We had soup and sandwiches for dinner tonight. Well, Beth doesn't like grilled cheese sandwiches (crazy, I know!) so she had soup and a salad. Often on Tuesdays we eat at church before going to the prayer meeting but I talked to her today about eating at home tomorrow night. When Chuck got home, Beth asked him if we can eat at church and he said he thought we could. Beth hollered into the kitchen, "Hah mothera!!" (Yes, she calls me mothera. Accent on the 'uh'.) I told her we were still talking about it and we might not eat at church.

So she went out to the kitchen and wrote 'church' on the menu board! If it's on the menu board, it must be happening! :)
