A Nice Weekend

The girls and I started this weekend off with the monthly 172nd Battalion potluck. The dinner theme was Italian. Our company was responsible for bring side dishes. I brought Cesar pasta salad to share. The girls and I played BINGO in hopes of winning one of the 10 crystal prizes. Allison did get a BINGO, but she won a basket full of chocolate candy. So now we have Halloween, Christmas, Valentine's Day and St. Patric's Day candy with Easter just right around the corner!! Friday night Joslyn spent the night at her friend, Mia's house. On Saturday Joslyn went to Discovery Lego land with Mia and her mom. They went with an organization called B.O.S.S. (I could have gone with Allison, but I am not in any condition to take a bus ride for about 3 hours and be on my feet all day. I'll start taking trips through B.O.S.S. after the baby is born and I have most of my strength and energy back.) Joslyn had a blast!! Of course I don't have any pictures to share, but we will go to Lego land as a family someday. Saturday Allison and I went downtown and shopped. I also recieved a phone call from the commissary. I entered my name in a drawing and they told me my name had been drawn and I WON Guitar Hero 3!! I was so excited, I dont even know how to play the game, but I was just so excited I had won something! Then Saturday night Allison and I went to a neighbor's house for a Mary-Kay party. It was at one of Allison's classmate's houses so Allison had a good time with her friend while I sampled and bought some make-up. I promised the girls that if I had money left over from getting my car fixed and paying our monthly bills I would buy the Wii for them. So Sunday after church we went to the PX and I bought the Wii. I also gave the girls a heads-up that I might not be able to figure out how to hook the system up, so they may have to wait until Philip comes home next month. Well the girls helped me out a lot! They knew EXCATLEY what they were doing and most likely could have hooked the system up themselves. They knew everything! I didn't even look at the instructions. They were amazing (they saw their dad hook-up his Wii back in Texas) It was amazing! The girls were off from school today (teacher work day) so the girls came along with me while I ran a few errands. We went to the Schweinfurt "Hot-Spot"...the new mall !! We haven't been to a mall since we left the states- so almost 9 months now. It was very nice, even the parking was easy (Im not sure how it is on the weekends though, we will find out next Saturday, I plan to go back) The girls and I looked around a bit and bought another Wii remote. We had a nice weekend!
