Last night we went to the "World's Largest Ice Cream Social" at Coldstone. I was very disappointed. Not only were you limited to blueberry, marshmallow or Nutter Butter ice cream, but you didn't get a mix-in to go with it. I know you get what you pay for, but it seemed like a pretty weak promotion to me.
When we got home the Twins were losing 1-6 to the White Sox. With only 4 games left in the season and trailing the Sox by .5, this game mattered A LOT! We sat down and watched the Twins battle back, winning 7-6 in the 10th inning. Most exciting game I've watched this season. It put the Twins in first place! Now we just need to do well against the Royals this weekend and the division is ours. Yay!!!

More Exciting Stuff
On Sunday, Nick and I went to the Twins game. We got to the gate about 10 minutes after it opened and they still had about 4 Gardy bobbleheads left - yay! They are pretty heavy too. We've unwrapped one and it looks really nice. The game started off on a low note - the Tigers scored 6 runs in the top of the first and the Twins didn't score until the 4th inning. However, their defense did step up and didn't allow any more Tiger runs. Thanks to a 2-out, nobody on, 4-run rally in the bottom of the 7th, the Twins came out on top, 7-6. It turned out to be a very exciting game.
Yesterday, we went over to Dave and Jeff's to celebrate Cinco De Mayo (thanks to Jeff for the link). Ed made tacos for everyone! It was a pretty big crowd for a Monday - at least 12 people, maybe more, including some that we haven't seen for a while. Even Heidi was there, visiting from California! We got home around 9 and I gave Nick his birthday present early because I couldn't wait any longer - MarioKart for the Wii. It is so awesome. Way better than the N64 version, which is the last one that I've played. The Wii wheels make it more fun to drive your kart. I think it was a hit!

Games, Games, Games
Despite the Scrabble debacle, we've still been playing games. That same night, Nick beat me at Trains, but I've beaten him twice since then. Yesterday we proved that we are slaves to advertising by going out to eat at Houlihan's after getting a coupon in the mail earlier that morning. The food was pretty good, not outstanding. Afterwards, we swung by Coldstone to get some dessert to take home with us.
As we were waiting in line Nick's phone rang; it was Smeeta! So we took our ice cream over to her and Dave's where we ended up playing 20th Century Trivial Pursuit (the weirdly impossible version). Smeeta and I decided we would take on all the guys (Nick, Dave, Ed and Jeff) and we managed a come-from-behind win by knowing that the Forrest Wood fishing competition is a bass-fishing competition. Ok, maybe that was a guess, but it doesn't matter because we beat them! It was our first question in the middle too!

Beyond Football
We had a fun weekend! On Friday night, Dave came over for random stir-fry. Nick mixed a bunch of small bags of frozen veggies together to clean out the freezer and served it over rice. It was delicious and now we have more space. We played three games and everyone won once so it was nicely balanced. Nick and Dave each won a game of Puerto Rico and I won Empire Builder, handing Dave his first loss since the very first time he played.
On Saturday, Nick and I slept in then tore through the cleaning before heading out to have some fun. I saw Enchanted with Jess. It was so cute! I loved all the Disney movie spoofs in it. Both of us were glad that we went with each other and not our husbands though - I think it would have been another movie where Nick asked if we could leave halfway through. I am impressed that Dave sat through the entire thing! Afterwards, we went shopping at Archivers. I bought a ton of paper. Now if I only had some pictures I could finish up the blue scrapbook and start on the green one. Yes, I am obsessed! Working on August now and I barely took any pictures in January so it should go pretty quickly.
Meanwhile, Nick went out to the ice house. They had a ton of people crammed in there and the fish were biting! I got home and the sink was full of live fish! He didn't count them, but I am looking forward to the perch fry soon.
Nick's fish!
Also on Saturday, Mom and Dave swung in for a visit after dropping off some furniture for Thomas. We made tacos for supper and Mom and I played Trains while Nick and Dave talked. It was a close game, but I won. Sunday morning, Nick and Dave went on a Fleet Farm mission to find a creamer and then stopped out at the lake so Nick could show off his ice house. Mom and I played an old favorite while they were gone: Priscilla! I started off pretty slow and Mom won the first game, then I came from behind to win the second. In the tie-breaker, it was back and forth until the final round when I managed to win again! Luckily Mom doesn't mind losing. :)
What a great weekend. We're having fun staying home in 2008...wonder what happened to that travel bug???

Random Activities
Sunday night when Nick got home we decided to go out and avoid the wet carpets for a while. So we headed off to the movie theatre and saw Charlie Wilson's War. I was a little surprised that it was at the dollar theatre already - Julia Roberts and Tom Hanks? Regardless, Nick and I both enjoyed it. Since the kitchen was also a mess (all the stuff not in the sunroom was in there) we stopped at Arby's for supper afterwards.
Wednesday night, we got our pictures taken for the church directory. I think we looked pretty sharp - I can't wait to get our free 8x10. We've been debating whether to cover up the engagement photo or the wedding photo with it. Do we ditch the 2 year old picture or the 18 month old picture? We don't really need a 3rd 8x10 of ourselves displayed in the living/dining room area! Since we were already dressed up we decided to try out Pittsburgh Blue - a new steakhouse in Maple Grove. It's a fancy place though and we've never felt dressed up enough to go there before. The food was fantastic! Nick had a porterhouse and I had a New York Strip on the bone (never had that on the bone before). We shared a tear-apart bread and hashbrowns, then had a piece of Red Velvet cake for dessert. Scrumptious!
Thursday we skipped poker, so no wonderous bragging stories this week. Maybe Ed can comment and let me know who won. We stayed home and cleaned up instead. Not extremely interesting but we're happy with the progress being made. We're almost back to our pre-carpet cleaning state! Now all I want for tonight is a game of Empire Builder - shouldn't be too hard to make Nick indulge me!

More Weekend Details
Nick is doing some work and I'm still up and feel like posting so here's some random blabbings. Last night Nick went out to the ice house - still no fish! Better luck next time! I finally got the right paper and was able to finish up the pontoon pages from our camping trip in June. That gets me caught up through our first Vegas trip of the year and leaves me with only about 20 pages left in the blue scrapbook. It's a monster too - almost 100 pages! I think the next one is going to be a little smaller because that bugger is heavy (yes, I just finished a book set in England).
Today (Saturday) I got up early and started cleaning. Our house is now sparkling clean, and with the exception of my Christmas cards and our wreath, completely de-Christmas-itized. A little sad, but only 10 more months til I can get it all out again! And the wreath and cards are going to hang around for a while longer because they're easy to clean up and I like how they look. Nick and I then made a run to Costco to get some food, then came home and played Empire Builder until the game began.
Our Spread - Only the butter didn't come from Costco!
Amazing but true: 6 people ate 95% of that veggie platter!
Keeping a stiff upper lip - this was after the Seahawk's first touchdown!
Ryan Grant gave me a scare early on with his two fumbles that were converted into touchdowns, but after that the game was all Packers. I knew Brett was going to come out throwing and when Greg Jennings caught his first touch down pass I knew it was all clear sailing until the end of the game. It was great! We watched most of the Patriots-Jaguars game afterwards - wish the Jags would have played a little better in the second half and taken care of business!
When football was over, Nick and I sat down and finished our game of Empire Builder. He beat me, but I put up a good fight (had about $215 million). I demanded a rematch and managed to dominate the entire time, leaving him with one city unconnected and only about $150 million. Guess we'll have to play again to determine the ultimate champion - darn!
Ok, guess our day wasn't all that interesting, but I had fun writing about it. Big football day tomorrow - good luck to the Colts and the Giants!

The Great Cinnamon Polar Bear Debate
The rest of my day went well; I got to the library, JC Penney's and Cub. Cub was a little scary - the cashier chided me for not using any coupons. Apparently if I'm a conscientious coupon-clipper I can save enough each year to go to Florida. Too bad for her I prefer to get most of my groceries in bulk at Costco.
I arrived home just after Nick and Marsha, and we settled in and made Marsha eat a giant cupcake before she could do anything else. After that, I took her downstairs and we played with the Wii. She seemed to do better as a lefty than a righty for some reason...
No poker due to the holiday, so after a brief game of TransAmerica (I kicked butt!) we met up with Nic and went to Fuddrucker's for supper - yum! We sat for quite a long time chatting, then headed home, avoiding a strange box of garbage that was left near our car. Nic couldn't stay, but Marsha and I took on Nick in a game of Trivial Pursuit and won easily. The final answer was It was a dark and stormy night. After that, we started doing movie trivia, TV trivia, and random trivia. It was a fun night with plenty of games and entertainment - and it was great to see Marsha again!

Nick Makes Beef Jerky
Using some deer meat we got from Nick's dad and a dehydrator Nick borrowed from a co-worker, Nick was able to make beef jerky with hardly any effort at all. I have to say, it's delicious!! :)
Nick and his homemade "Jerky Extruder"
Still Hydrated
Ready to eat!

Karin Goes to Costco
Mmmm, supper!
We followed that with a game of Empire Builder - I won easily. So far the tally is Karin 4, Nick 2, all challengers 0. But it is fun :)

The Curse is Broken!
Nick and I spent last weekend in Green Bay. We took the afternoon off on Friday and got to town around 6. We met up with Marsha and Jill and went out for a yummy perch fry at the Redwood Inn. After that, we hung out at Mom's house, playing Whoonu and messing around with a wooden nutcracker that she had.
My famous friend.
Saturday was our "running around day". After breakfast with Mom and Dave we headed over to Dad's to go out to eat at Brother's Three, one of my favorite Wisconsin restaurants. From there, we stopped over at Grandma's to visit with more family and get a few of Grandma's old Christmas tree ornaments. Then Mom and Dave made a delicious roast for supper back at their house. After that, I was tuckered out and fell asleep. But everyone else played Sequence and watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Sounds like it was fun!
Sunday was the true purpose of our trip however: our 2007 trip to Lambeau Field. I was hoping that we would finally see a victory and I was rewarded when the Packers beat the Oakland Raiders 38-7; a blow-out victory. We started off the day by bundling up - I had 4 layers on under my coveralls! Then a round-about drive to the stadium in which we completely avoided all the traffic! Inside, we surprised Sandy and Cindy, who were working at the Hemophilia Booth selling Packers merchandise.
Surprise!
Happy Workers
From there we climbed up to our seats. There was a huge line of people waiting to get into the stadium and there were only 20 minutes until game time. Guess they don't call that side the main gate for nothing!
That's a lot of people!
The game was fantastic! We were sitting with some friends of mine from work who are Raiders fans, and they really enjoyed the stadium and talking to the fans sitting around us. Another Raiders fan I know who was at the game said he didn't care much for the game but that our stadium was awesome! He wants to come back to watch another game. Here are a couple of pictures documenting our time at the game:
Flyover! We actually saw 4 jets practicing the flyover on Saturday. This is so cool - no comparison to when they show it on the JumboTron at the 'dome.
The first kickoff attempt - the ball fell off the T so they had to reset it and line up again.
Touchdown!
Victory - and we clinched the division!
Celebrating the win - do we look cold?
And that was the weekend. GO PACK GO!!

OW! A Thanksgiving Story.
Another Thanksgiving weekend is over and Nick and I are ready to embrace Christmas! We drove to Iowa on Wednesday night, arriving just in time for one of Nancy's delicious suppers with Erin-made cupcakes for dessert. We decided to skip playing a game and watch Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark instead. I thought I hadn't seen it before, but after we got to the end I realized I had. Maybe next time I'll graduate to whatever the second movie in the trilogy is!
Thanksgiving was spent with Nancy's sister, her husband, their daughter and granddaughter. We had turkey and stuffing - no suprises here! I got to watch the fantastic Packer victory (after missing the rough first quarter while eating) then napped while Erin beat Nick and the others at Scrabble. From there we headed over to Nick's grandparents, where I got to meet more family members and visit for a couple of hours. Back over to Nancy and Jeff's, where Nick won at Trains and we discovered that the rules to Sorry! actually have a subset for "adults only" play. We switched halfway through and I won the game!
Friday was our lazy day. The kids slept in while the grown-ups went to work. We went and bothered Nancy at the post office, then got lunch at Godfather's while we waited for the lady to measure Nick for a tux to get back from lunch. After Nick was taken care of, we drove home and Nick and Jeff headed out to Jeff's hunting "shed" while I won three games of Trains (two against Nancy and Erin and one against just Erin). Then we went to the "shed" as well. Jeff has built a pretty cool 3-story building out on his hunting land. We had a cookout on the second-level balcony and sat inside for a while to visit. We then swung by Nancy's sister's house because I have never seen it. She lives in a very nice log "cabin" that is huge. I loved her decorating style. We played a game of Scrabble (won by Erin at the last minute) and Balderdash (won by Nick's cousin) before heading home. Nancy and Jeff were still up and Jeff joined us for some Euchre. Nick and I lost two of three games to him and Erin. Then we got devious - Jeff quit and Erin went upstairs and Nick and I pulled all the queens out of the Euchre deck. I dominated at 3-handed: won every time and got to 15 first by a landslide (Nick had 1 and Erin had -1). I was golden! Then we played Sorry. We decided that it wasn't fair to have one side of the board open so we made a ghost player to take over that side. The three of us played using the newly found "adult" rules and the ghost played the kid rules. We agreed that the ghost would always make the best strategic move and wouldn't target any one person no matter what happened to it. The ghost won.
Saturday was our last day in Iowa. We had lunch with three of Nancy's sisters before they headed off to a baby shower and Nancy gave us early Christmas presents which were fantastic! I think Adam is getting the same thing so I don't want to say what it was, but all three of us were very happy. We had an uneventful drive back to Minneapolis and took Erin to Costco and Boston's once we arrived. Then she and Nick played Wii until they couldn't keep their eyes open any longer!
Today, today was one of my favorite days of the year: decorating the house for Christmas! Erin and I got out all the Christmas decorations and put them up, then we went to lunch at J. Cousineau's with Nick. The three of us headed over to get a tree after we were done eating.
I was standing innocently in the parking lot, looking at two trees and trying to decide if I should call Nick over to get his opinion on either one of them. All of a sudden, I was thumped on the head. My first thought was "man, that's pretty solid to be a Christmas tree!". Then Erin was rushing over and pulling a 2x4 off of me! It had a couple of nails sticking out of the end of it - luckily none of them got me. The 2x4 was about 20 feet long and had been standing up in the middle of one of the X-shaped Christmas tree holders. The holders are designed to hold four trees and this one only had two tiny ones in it. The 2x4s are used to hold up the overhead lights for when it is dark out. We threw the 2x4 on the ground and told the kids working the place what had happened. They're all just high school kids though and they were pretty freaked out. I am fine though - it only hurt for about five minutes and it happened seven hours ago so no problems. We ended up not getting either of those trees though!
Erin was able to help us get the tree set up in its stand and the lights on before Nick brought her back to the airport. She always complains that we get here there too early, so Nick purposely only got her there about an hour before she was scheduled to leave. However, she was delayed an hour in the airport and then stuck on the tarmac for another 2.5 because Georgia was too busy to accept her plane at its scheduled time. At least it wasn't completely our fault this time! When Nick got home we put up all the ornaments, made some pasta and settled in to watch SNF - the Patriots almostlost.
Now my house smells like the pine needles and ready to go. I love Christmas!

When No Adventures Can Be Found
Nick and I have had a pretty low-key week. On Sunday night, the power went out in the middle of our dinner, right around 8 pm. By 8:20 it still wasn't back (and the entire street was dark so it wasn't just us) so we left to go see Bee Movie. It was cute, we got our private showing, but it would have been better to see it at the discount theatre in a month or so. But the power was back on when we got home, which is really the important thing, right?
Monday night we played a hard-fought tennis match - in an hour and a half we were unable to finish two sets. Tuesday we kept it simple, wrapping Christmas presents as we watched The Biggest Loser on TV.
Last night was probably the most exciting night of the week. We played volleyball and only won our 3rd game (but did lead in the second game 24-23 so we could have had it), then headed over to Granite City to celebrate Dave's birthday a week early (but the last night he's planning on being in Minnesota for a while). We had a very good turnout for a Wednesday night - 16 people. We had to split up between two tables, but it all worked out pretty well. It was great to finally get back there to eat again. Happy Birthday Dave!

Game Day!
It's Sunday game-day again, the cap to what has already been a fun weekend. On Friday night, Nick and I went to Red Lobster. We were planning on going to Granite City (finally!) but received a coupon in the mail for Red Lobster and wanted to use it before we forgot about it. I did plan a birthday celebrate for Dave at GC this week so there's no way of getting out of it this time :)
Saturday we did a little Costco shopping and regular grocery shopping and Nick made lasagna for the first time! It was delicious! We used italian sausage instead of ground beef and I really liked how it turned out. I was in charge of the salad and the garlic bread, also delicious. We were joined for supper by a friend of mine from work, her husband, and their year old baby. We don't really have baby toys but he had a great time crawling back and forth under the dining room table (at least until he got stuck on a chair!).
I've also made excellent progress on my scrapbook since we've gotten home from Mexico - done about 13 pages. Maybe this is the push that will finally get me almost to real time? Ok, that's doubtful, but I'm working on my birthday right now so I'm only about six months off!
Today: Vikings @ Green Bay. I'm doubly excited because we get to stay home and watch the game! I'm going to have a grilled cheese sandwich and Doritos for lunch, not bar food. :) GO PACK GO!!

Another Minneapolis Saturday Night...
Another Puerto Rico victory! I do have to admit, my margin of victory was only 7 points this time, not the 10 I had last time, but I think my 3-player strategy is working!
Other notes from today: I made progress on the blue scrapbook and Nick hung up the new hallway light fixture. We had grilled cheese and soup for supper - yummy!

Porn, Porn, Porn, $20!!
This past weekend Nick and I went to Vegas for the second time this year. This trip had a completely different purpose however: to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Cindy and her new husband Ryan :) We flew in Saturday morning and settled into our fancy-dancy room at the Bellagio. It was probably the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in. We didn't spend a lot of time there, but it was definitely fun to do! After a quick trip up to the Monte Carlo to see if our favorite 100-Hand Poker machine was still there (it was) we met Cindy and Ryan, Sandy and Bob, and Mike and Michelle at the Riviera (where they were staying) to ride the Deuce bus up to Freemont Street, something Nick and I missed the first time we were out there. The light show was amazing - not at all what I expected!!
Nick and Karin outside the Bellagio. We ran into Sandy and Bob on the street in front of it and had them take this picture :)
Our fantastic bathtub at the Bellagio! It was heavenly.

Random mural we saw on the outside of one of the downtown casinos. Go Packers!

Sunday we got up bright and early and headed over to the Imperial Palace for the wedding. Everything went quickly and smoothly. Cindy looked just radiant in her dress. After the ceremony we hopped into a limo with Cindy and Ryan and Matt and Jodi (best man and his wife) and rode out to the "Welcome to Las Vegas" sign - something we also hadn't seen before. Our driver was very friendly and knew a lot about Las Vegas. When the ride ended, we ate a group brunch at the Imperial Palace before the bride and groom disappeared! Mom and Dave and Sandy and Bob walked over to the Wynn with Nick and I. It's one of the newest and fanciest hotels in Vegas and we wanted to be slightly more dressed up when we went. The coolest part? They had a circular escalator inside! Of course we rode up and down it just so we could say we've done it.
Cindy and Ryan, post ceremony.

After changing out of our wedding clothes, we met up with Mom and Dave again to watch the Packer-Bear game at the Monte Carlo Pub. Unfortunately it was a case of the Jekyll and Hyde Packers. They looked really good in the first half, even getting a running game going, but fell apart in the second half and lost by seven. It was a huge disappointment and the worst part of the trip. Nick and I did win $10 playing slots afterwards though.
We also caught the fountains on our way back to the hotel. I think we watched them about 10 times while we were there.
Monday and Tuesday we were pretty much on our own. Cindy and Ryan were off doing honeymoon stuff and everyone else had left the great state of Nevada. Monday we gambled a little and saw the white tigers at the Mirage. We wandered into the Flamingo casino and found that they had a flamingo habitat, so we got to see real flamingos too! From there, we walked to the Paris and "Mon Ami Gabi" to eat supper outside on the sidewalk with a great view of the Bellagio fountains. We watched the second quarter of the Dallas-Bills Monday Night Football game (can't believe that Dallas won after 6 interceptions!!) then went to see The Producers starring Tony Danza!! Neither Nick nor I had seen it before and it was excellent! 90 minutes long with no intermission and completely enjoyable the entire time.

Flamingo habitat. The guy on the right was photographing that dark-colored bird the entire time we were there. He was practically in the water trying to get a shot!
View from our dinner table (yes the fountains can shoot higher than the hotel)
Tuesday we ate at the #1 buffet in Las Vegas 2007 - it was fantastic! I couldn't even eat my way to all the different cultural stations they had (it was the Spice Buffet at Planet Hollywood). They also had areas where they would make pizza, a brat or a hamburger to your specifications. The burger was delicious. I didn't try anything else custom-made but the pizza they had out was some of the best ever. I would defiantly recommend this buffet to anyone going to Vegas. My greatest gambling coup also came at Planet Hollywood. While waiting for the buffet to open for lunch Nick and I each put $5 into 10-hand poker machines. Nick ran out of money and I had enough money left to bet the max possible (10 hands at 12 cents each). I got 5-of-a-kind on the flop! That was a $10 payoff- enough to get us back to even :)
After lunch we didn't have much time left, but we buzzed on over to the Tropicana to see the Titantic exhibit that was there. It was really neat, I'm happy we went. They had lots of artifacts that have been brought up from the wreckage on display. The coolest part was the re-creation of the Promenade deck. You went through a swinging door and out onto what looked and felt like the actual deck of the ship. They had it overly air-conditioned so it was only about 50 degrees, a fog machine making fog where the water would be, and little Christmas lights on a dark background where the sky was. Unfortunately no pictures allowed but it was pretty sweet!
That's the trip! We got back to Minneapolis around midnight, and went straight to bed after eating some Taco Bell. Until next time - Viva Las Vegas! Oh, wait, you're probably wondering about the title to this post. Well, if you've never to Vegas, there are a ton of guys who are passing out "porn cards" (size of business cards). On Monday morning, we were walking over to buy tickets to The Producers and I was looking down because the sun was really bright. Mixed in with all the porn card litter was a $20!! What a find! Nick and I gambled it all away though!

Subway Survey
While in Vegas last weekend (post coming once I download pictures!) Nick and I stopped at two Subways to check out the prices and see how they compare. We looked at the oven roasted chicken because we know how much it is.
Prices for 6 inch Oven Roasted Chicken Sub
Current Special (MN): $1.99
MN Regular Price: $3.89
Fashion Mall Subway (Las Vegas Strip): $5.19
Monte Carlo (Hotel and Casino) Food Court: $7.99
We didn't think the $5.19 was bad, but $7.99 seemed like a lot. How much is this sub in your state?

Camping In Wisconsin
A couple of weekends ago we went camping in Wisconsin with my mom and aunt and their husbands. It was fantastic! We stayed at Lake Wissota State Park, which I enjoyed far more than the campsite we stayed at in Minnesota. For one, we didn't have a gravel problem! Second, there were tons of trees; you couldn't even see the campsites on either side of us. That's how campsites are supposed to be set up (disclaimer: I still had fun camping in MN, I was just disappointed with the facilities of the place I chose). If we do another birthday camping trip for Nick I'm going to plan it in Wisconsin.
Our spacious campsite. Yes, we were allowed to have two tents on the same one.
The weather was just right too. On Saturday morning we got up and decided to take a bike ride. We rode all the way to Chippewa Falls (about 8 miles on a paved path and some roads). We then ran into some other bikers and asked them what was ahead; they told us that the Leinenkugel Brewery was only about two miles further. Of course we decided it was worth the ride! We made it there and signed up for the next tour. It was a nice relaxing hour-long break waiting for it to start. Everyone but me got to drink free samples of beer (I didn't have my ID so they wouldn't serve me even with my mom there! They gave me root beer as a consolation beverage). Nick was very excited to find that they had a creamy dark beer.
Karin and Mom waiting for the tour to start. What a fun hat!
The tour was very interesting. Leinie's is a much, much smaller facility than the Budweiser plant we toured in St Louis! I even won a key chain by being the first to yell out the answer to our tour guide's random trivia question (what is their most popular beer?). I was also amazed to find that all the beers that they sell have only been in production since the mid-1990s - they did a complete overhaul then and got rid of all the older flavors. After the tour who did we run into but the friendly bikers who had told us how to get there! They had been riding away from the plant when we last saw them, but made a big loop and just happened to be riding past it at that moment in time.

At first, the ride back seemed much faster than the ride there, but that ended once we got back to the front gate of the state park. It felt like we should be almost back but in fact it was two more miles of riding! I didn't think I'd make it but of course I did. The entire trip was about 20 miles; a good chunk of exercise! We made up all the calories we burned off by eating pudgy pies and s'mores though!

Coincidence?
Day two of our visit went very well. Nick and Jeff took a load to the dump (including the basketball hoop) and got a lot done on the doors and windows. They have a few things they want to do tomorrow, but overall everything is looking great! In the meantime, Nancy and I went to Build-A-Bear and I built my first ever teddy bear. It was fun and addicting. Here's the coincidence: my sister Jill and I both talked about wanting to go and build bears. We even walked through the store with our cousin when the two of them were here visiting me a month ago. As Nancy and I were getting ready to go my phone rang: Jill and my other little sister were at their local Build-A-Bear making bears of their own! :) Jill made a triceratops named "Tops" and my other sister made the Autumn Bear and named it "Cheetah Girl". Mine is the Read Bear ($1 of his purchase price goes to the literacy council) named "Lorenzo".
Jill and myself in some hats she made (taken two weeks ago)
Lorenzo
(His helmet is made of fabric, not plastic thus why it looks dented)
When we got home, the guys were sleeping so we decided to play Scrabble before waking them up. My best word was "Accrue" on the triple word score. On my next turn I added a "D" and made "Doozy" (had to use a blank for the "y" though) on a double word score. I did win, but just barely. While we were playing, Nancy asked me a good question: What is your favorite game ever? I thought it was pretty hard - I play and enjoy tons of games and I would guess that we own about 30, but picking a favorite? I was able to narrow it down to a couple, but before I give my answer, I'd love to hear a couple of others weigh in on what theirs are. Nancy can vouch for me later that I pick the same on the blog as I did when she asked me.
Once the game was over and we got the guys up, we headed off to the Brunswick Zone and went bowling. I got a respetable 139 on the first game, but lost to Nancy's monster 142! The second game didn't go as well - I only got a 101. We were all very distracted by High School Musical 2 on the TV next to our scores (the sound wasn't even on). I might have to go rent the first one to see what all the fuss is about - it looked mildly entertaining. It's a Disney Channel movie so it should be right up there with Snow, which Krista and I both enjoyed three winters ago. We ate dinner at Boston's to finish off our night on the town.
Tomorrow: Packers season opener. GO PACK GO!!!

Visitors from the South
Nancy and Jeff came to visit us from Iowa! They were here when I got home from work. Jeff and Nick hung up the new numbers (yes, I know, I need to post a picture of the finished project!) and then they decided to dig up and take out the basketball hoop that no one uses. Meanwhile, Nancy and I were playing lawn golf and gossiping in the backyard. When they were done, Nick grilled up some chicken for the four of us and Ed and Dave, who is also up visiting us from Missouri this week.
Following dinner, we played a game of 3-on-3 Hand and Foot. I got burned big-time: 3 red 3s in my first boot and 2 in my second (neither of which I got to). We won the second two rounds but it was too late; we lost by about 600 points. The red threes were too hard to recover from. It was fun though! :)

Again, Again!
No, not the Twins - the Packers! It was a huge blowout of Seattle! The next game is Thursday night on FOX so I should be able to see at least the couple of series that Favre plays in.
Yesterday I worked on scrapbooking the honeymoon and Nick got the trim up in the bathroom and the living room. The living room trim looks fantastic! I'll post a picture once it's painted. For supper, we went over to Smeeta and Dave's and had fantastic steak fajitas. After we ate, we played Bohnanza and I had my best finish ever - tied with Nick and Smeeta for the win.
Another rainy Sunday means some more scrapbooking for me. Have a great day!
