L.Y.B.O. Wednesday

Well, I've been slightly absent from the bloogy scene...so much going on here at home that I'm just spent, plain and simple!

On Sunday the boys and I snuck out to a movie with my mom and my sister and brother-in-law. My sister called on our way into town, saying that she'd bought the boys candy for the movie. Don't ask..its a family thing to sneak food into the theater...all started with my Gma and her "movie purse" that held sandwich baggies of popcorn...pretty slick until you try to nonchalantly open a CAN of pop!!!

Anyway, I digress....we get ourselves all situated in the semi-crowded theater: pops evenly spaced between the children, buckets of popcorn within reach of everyone, etc. Then my sister passes out the boys' boxes of candy (yes BOXES!). They love gummy anything, so Crys thought they'd get a kick out of Gummie Boogers...yes...you read it right...boogers!

Just picture it, boys with booger candy...in a crowded theater! "Hey Uncle Duane...would you like to try one of my boogers?". "Mom, do you like my boogers?". "Mmmmm, these boogers taste good!". Trust me it couldn't get any worse! Seriously they were gross...basically, if the gummy factory took all of their leftover gummy mix(?), smooshed it all together and then processed it into blobs, there you'd have it...gummie boogers!

Thanks for the movie mom and thanks Crys and Duane for the boogers...really...from the bottom of my heart! (Just wait till you have munchkins!)

Quilt Show

Before heading off to our uber-romantic weekend...I snuck off to a quilt show. I met up with Lori and then we headed down the street to our friend Joyce's quilt show. It was held in this cute little church with the quilts hung over the pews....very interesting way to display them! I was expecting like 20 quilts, but there were over 100!!! Busy Ladies!!!

I love the colors on this one~....and this one~
Wow....what bold women!~

this darling green and pink baby quilt was made by Joyce. So many pieces! Very inspirational, but man.....I need a craft room...or another 5 hrs in a day....or something!

What a Great Weekend!!!!

Most people find awesome romantic spots to celebrate their anniversaries....we head north....to a hole in the wall bar, Baumgartner's. They have the world's best cheese sandwich according to my dad.....yep....plain rye bread and a hunk of cheese...yum...ha! But if you get their awesome chili and dip said sandwich it's pretty good!
Then we head further up into cheese country to New Glarus, home of New Glarus Brewery....our fave brewer of fine beers! Last year this new facility wasn't even open! It's Beautiful!
My favorite sight in all the world!

Words to live by!
These stairs lead up to the brewing area for my favorite beer....Berliner Weiss.
Here's our stash from the "gift shop" :)
We ended the night with some munchies, beer and a few movies from Blockbuster! This is Jim watching Get Smart! (he's a nut when it's a funny movie)On Sunday we headed into town to Bergners. They had a Kitchenaide knife set on sale for $50....normally $150....Yes Please!

We decided to stop at Red Robin before heading back to paint the house (sounds like fun huh?!?)....isn't this flag the coolest? 320 baseballs....hmmmm....where can I find some cheap baseballs?

All in all, it was a great relaxing weekend where we got loads accomplished! Perfect way to celebrate our life together!
