Weekend update
                                               Well it's Monday and the fun weekend has come to an end.  In a way I am relieved and in a way I am sad.  This weekend had turned out different from what we had originally planned. Friday went as planned.  Joy had the day off and brought her dogs Boggart and Bella to play along with lunch.  When she text me originally she was going to be there around 1 but due needing to get laundry done she ended up getting here an hour and a half late maybe later LOL.  
                                          Mark seemed a little worried and was asking every 10 minutes where she was when she didn't come on time.  LOL he seems to get a little worried when someone doesn't show up on time but that just shows what a loving caring person he is.  Anyway I felt pretty bad for Onyx because he started to whine when he heard mom zip up her suit case and when Mark carried them to the car.  He differentially knew that they were leaving but I am sure that seeing Boggart and Bella cheered him up.  For the record she had brought over fruit and things for a salad and we just socialized and watched the dogs play and ate our lunch.
                                       Later that evening Katie came home and we decided to order a pizza and hang around the house and relax.  For the record we did not do our original plan which was go see a movie.  Okay Saturday we threw the birthday party for Hailee but the original plan was to have no boys allowed including Nathan or James but that plan backfired.  Joy had invited James which didn't concern me but than Nathan of course had to be included which of course concerned me.  Of course Nathan is that college stage now and yes I mean the drinking stage.
                                    James and him got into a huge fight that scared the daylights out of me last year around the same time that had been due to them getting drunk and I was scared that was going to happen again but that didn't happen.  James could even sense how nervous I was by the dazed look on my face and he assured me nothing was going to happen and sure enough it didn't.  Yes they did drink, but no fight erupted like the last time thank the lord.  Nathan only had one friend over along with Hailee's girl friend Jana so it was well controlled and fun.  James had ended up making chicken Parmesan and I made the birthday cake.
                              I made a layered ice cream cake and it looked a lot complicated than it actually was.  Both James and Katey were skeptical at first thinking it was going to be an all day project and using cartons of ice cream but it wasn't.  The layers were ice cream sandwiches, whipped cream, crushed butter fingers and carmal and chocolate syrup.  I got the recipe out of this e book that I read earlier about a family with 19 children.  But the cake was a hit and I got comments saying that it was better than the Dairy Queen cakes.
                                  It's going to be my birthday cake.  My mom even liked it and she doesn't like chocolate so that surprised me LOL and that made me happy.  Well anyway yesterday was a relaxing day until Mark and mom arrived home.  We made our own pizzas and just had a blast.  In my opinion I think yesterday was probably the most fun day for me but not for Katie.      
                                 She was not feeling that great and was not feeling that well Saturday either.  Hope she feels better soon but despite being sick I hope she had a good weekend along with Joy and Hailee.  Hope we can do it again sometime.
