Weekend with the Whirligig Beatles

Hubby bought a new car this weekend...while we were supposed to be playing with our grandkids.

No, actually, it was fine. Hubby's been "looking" at new cars for about..., oh, 3 years now. So, when he finally decided he'd found one, I was ecstatic. There's only so many times I can say, "Babe, you can't find a suburban-sized car that gets 30 MPG in the city, it just doesn't exist." Whew, glad that's over...

His car is beautfiul. He bought another suburban, he loves to haul stuff to Warren, you know, with black leather interior. The funny thing is that it has just about every bell and whistle on it you can think of, which means that Hubby is finally going to be forced into the wonderful world of technology!! Yay!!! Unfortunately, I don't have a picture of the new car, but will try to get one for tomorrow. It's a beaut.

We really did have a great time with our kids this weekend, too. We went to a total of 3 games - 2 baseball games for P and 1 soccer game for G. Above is P at bat...that's his dad, the coach, and my son-in-law, standing close by. He's really becoming a hitter...and spending less and less time playing in the dirt when he's fielding...that's a rite of passage for any boy playing baseball, really.

Then there was the 3-year-old soccer game, there's G above. Her team was called the Whirligig Beatles. I swear, that was the name. I don't even know what a whirigig beatle is, but apparently they're pretty cool because the whole hands in, "1, 2, 3, WHIRLIGIG BEATLES!" was the girls' favorite part of the game. They did it about 10 times before I stopped counting. G did well. She still can't figure out why the girl in the purple shirt insisted on taking the ball away from her and making a a goal every time SHE was trying to make a goal, but isn't that one of life's unanswered questions?

Then, we took the family to two major grandparent/grandkids hot spots - Chick-fil-A and Peter Piper Pizza. And, finally, the kids spent the night at the hotel with us and we took them swimming. And guess what? No one drowned!

My take: PaPa and I still got it!!! Pics of the new car coming tomorrow! Happy Monday!
