No School Until at least May 11th!!!!

What?? Yes, no school for us until May the 11th, thanks to the swine flu that is popping up in our area. Uggggg!!!! My school district decided last night to shut down, along with two neighboring school districts to quarantine the schools. We had 33 kids out on Monday and then 22 out yesterday (not all for the flu, it was either other things, their parents were scared or they were having flu-like symptoms). They are recommending that people don't go out where they will be around 20 or more people. Fun stuff (not really)! Now, we are just waiting to hear if we will have to make up all of these lovely days...so sad that it is SO close to the end of the school year. I'd honestly much rather be teaching the next nine days...as long as there wasn't any illness going around because I really don't want to get sick either! I suppose my house will be sparkling clean by May 11th!!!

Let's Go Astros!!!

Last weekend, we went to visit my mom and she got us tickets to the Astros game! It was a really good game...even though they lost in the 11th inning! They played the Brewers in one long game, hanging on until the very end. I will say though, they are just not the same without good ol' Craig Biggio!!! Our favorite Astro is now Lance Berkman.

Here are some pictures from the game...

Thanks Mom for a fun weekend!!!

Weekend

We had such a nice weekend this weekend! Who doesn't love the weekends anyway, right?! Friday night we went out to eat with our good friends Andrea and Emilio and their sweet, baby girl went as well. She was SO good and so much fun just to watch...don't babies just make you smile?! So Sweet!

Saturday, hubby and I went to Valerie and Brandon's so the boys could make hamburger meat out of their deer meat from this season. They made so much hamburger meat, it was crazy! We won't have to buy any ground meat for a very long time! While the boys did that, Valerie and I snuck away to do some shopping and we stopped on the way home for appetizers and a margarita...fun stuff!

Sunday, the weather was just perfect! A few of hubby's friends called and invited us to go out on the boat, so we did just that! The weather was amazing and it was so relaxing! When we got home, we cooked out and had dinner with my dad.

The weather was just about perfect here again today...too bad we can't stretch out those weekends!!!! Have a great week!
