One day last week, Lolly, Jade and I went for a walk right before it looked like it was about to storm. I REALLY wanted to go on our walk and didn't really care if I got wet so we decided to try and go. We got about half way to Jade's house when it started raining pretty good. We took shelter under some big trees and waited for Jade to come meet us. We got poured on for a little while but other than that, it was pretty nice. The rain sure cooled us off. So, on our way back to my house, we saw a beautiful rainbow!

| This picture SUCKS because of course I was taking it with my cell phone. But if you look closely you can see it. |
Saturday Supa had to work all day. The kids and I made plans with Red so we met her at her house that morning. Her husband was home....
(After MANY hilarious suggestions thrown around by Red and I we finally came up with.....)
Buzz Lightyear
I was really excited to get to know him better because of course Red talks about him all the time and I was hoping that he could become good friends with Supa. He needs some high quality guys to hang out with and from what Red said, he sounded like Supa would get along with him great.
**SIDE NOTE:
Under Red's great suggestion, we are changing her blogger name from Red Lady to Red Lightyear. I mean, she is married to Buzz so it just makes all kinds of sense! Haha! I love it!
** END SIDE NOTE:
Come to find out, Buzz was awesome! I had a feeling immediately that when Supa finally got to meet him, he was going to love him!
We also met Red and Buzz's dogs. Dazzle still wants to be a vet so she is ALL about getting to play with dogs!

| This is Maddi :) |
 |
| This is Darby! Oh, and Neon's beat up little boy legs. LOL |
Darby is so sweet! She LOVES to be pet and kissed. She is really good at giving you her belly to be rubbed ;) She was so excited, I couldn't really get a great picture of her.
After we visited with Buzz and pet the pups, it was time to get serious and go work out.
Red took the kids and I to a gym where she goes sometimes to work out. Basically you go around the room (kind of like Curves) and do different activities for 9- 3 minute rounds. It sounds easy because 3 minutes go by really fast so I wasn't expecting it to be too hard. Ha!
Dazzle took lots of pictures but the only one that was safe for viewing was this one:

We went back to Red's house and since we were both gross and sweaty, took showers. Buzz decided to have lunch with us so we all headed to Subway to "Eat Fresh". LOL. We had a good time talking and eating.
After lunch, Buzz headed to go hang out with his friends and Red and I took the kids with us to go check out a few thrift stores. We had a blast and the stores we visited were really awesome. We will be go back together when I'm ready to do back to school clothes shopping for the kids!!
When we were finished shopping we went back to Red's house. I was getting tired (probably from the heat) and my body was already killing me so we decided to call it a day. After Dazzle and Neon had kissed both the dogs goodbye, it was time to head to the house.
I laid down for a little while to try to let my body recover while I waited on Supa to get home from work. We planned a date night and I was going to get up and get ready for that when he got home. I think I laid down for about 45 minutes and barely gotten to sleep when it was time to get ready!
I made the kids exactly what they wanted for dinner - hot dogs mixed with macaroni and cheese. YUM! Supa and I left them at home playing and watching TV to go on our date.
We went to Hibachi Express for dinner and had "fast-food" Japanese food. My plate looked like this:
 |
| YUM!! There was no way I could eat all of it so half of it went back home with us. |
We were trying to decide for days what we wanted to do after dinner. We thought about going to the movies (Ted?) or going to play putt putt but we wanted to do something different. Supa suggested that instead of going to the movies to see something we only kind of cared about seeing, we should go to Best Buy and look around together. That sounded like the best date of all to me! I love shopping!
We ended up looking at movies for a while and buying 4 DVD's:
Revenge of the Nerds (heehee)
Children of the Corn (this scared the shit out of me in the 80's!)
Robin Hood - Men In Tights
Ransom (one of my favorite Mel Gibson movies)
We took them home and watched Men In Tights with the kids. I promptly fell asleep after the first 30 minutes or so. LOL. I was tired and my body was DONE!
I had planned on cutting the grass Sunday morning at 6 AM and I was awake when the alarm clock went off BUT, I tried to get out of bed and I couldn't. My legs wouldn't work. I was in such extreme pain that I woke Supa up and told him how bad I felt and that I couldn't cut the grass. He told me not to worry about it and stay in bed and rest so...That's what I did!
Once I got up for the day, I had to take a pain pill. I couldn't believe I hurt myself so badly!
Supa was off and we had more plans with Red and Buzz so we got up, got ready and headed over to their house.
Buzz and Supa finally got to meet each other and I'll go ahead and say that they both thought the other was awesome and fun to be around so that's WONDERFUL news!! I have a feeling they might be besties before too long! ;)

| They might not be this sparkly but it's coming. LOL, I just know it! |
 |
| Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to turn the photo! Damnit! |
Dazzle drew the butterfly, I'm assuming for me. :)
 |
| I'm glad Neon wrote Neon and not his real name :) |
He's got some kind of 9 year old word obsession with "Pie" so everything is pie right now. LOL
 |
| Cutie #1 and Cutie #2 made their own artwork too! :) |
I think it says, "I love Aunt Apple!" but I can't be sure....Heehee.
After fun hang out time, it was time to get our eat on. All the food was yummy and we were all full!
We cleaned up from lunch and then it was time to head to the pool! Red's sister recently moved into an apartment with a really nice pool so we decided to go check it out.
We swam, talked, laughed and played for a few hours. It was so fun and the best company! After we were all slightly burnt, wore out and talked out, it was time to head home. We were all pooped and wishing for a nap!
We got home and Supa cooked the kids and I breakfast for dinner. Delish! We relaxed the rest of the afternoon and before I knew it, it was time to get ready for work the next day. POOP!
Since I'm not going to the nail salon anymore, it was also time to get my nails right!
 |
| I did them all by myself and I was really happy with the results! ;) I love free stuff! |
Overall, we had an amazing weekend with some awesome new friends. I know this is just the first wonderful weekend out of many more to come. ;) We already have more plans for next weekend with our new friends!
Happy and well, just happy,
Apple
