Another Nice Saturday.

This was a fairly busy week. Monday I had an open house at the arts center, Tuesday was the KU/KSU Honor Banquet at the school, Thursday was an arts center board meeting.

Last night (Friday) mom came over for supper and to watch The Hunger Games. Dad is in California until Wednesday for a couple of speaking engagements and to see Aunt Anne. Mom and I had a nice time talking, watching the movie, and drinking too many gin and tonics. It was after midnight when she went home.

This morning mom and I went over to Haviland for an auction. We started off with getting coffee at Origins then went to scope out the auction. We didn't find anything that we wanted to hang around for, so we left and spent money instead at Thompson Greenhouse and Haviland Hardware and Grocery.

Today was another pretty nice day, weather wise. When mom and I got home from Haviland, Travis was getting the kids ready to go have a picnic and play at Davis Park. We went to Dillons for some chicken and other picnic stuff and had a nice lunch and play time at the park.

 After we left the park we drove around the lake. We came across a flock of yellow headed black birds. We stopped to watch them.

 When we got home, Ray was there to pick up Travis to go out to their house. I got the kids down for a nap and they went out to cut down cedar trees. After the kids woke up, we headed out there. We got out there and found Ray and Travis assembling a jungle gym to play on.

It was windy, can you tell by her hair?

 Reading books to Ruger...

Saturday at the Ranch

Saturday the kids and I went down to the Petty's for a few hours to play. It was pretty wind most of the day, but warm. We enjoyed being outside and the kids got nice a dirty.

Digging in the dirt.

Charcoal stacking precision.

Asleep within 3 miles of Ashley's house, still holding his popcorn.

Asleep before we got to the highway.

Typical

This was a nice an quiet week. Work wise, I only had a couple of meetings, was able to be in my office and in the museum getting some stuff done, I cooked dinner every night.

Painting with the books the "easter bunny" brought.

Watching movies and cuddles.

Tonight we (mom, dad, Ray and Pat) went to the Bar H Tavern for taco night. It was the first time I'd ever been there and I think the first for mom too. It was a good time, good tacos, cheap beers. The kids chowed down.
