What happened to the weekend?

The Nockinbirds were a busy bunch this weekend.  Friday night we had to go to a Girl Scout meeting to talk to the girls about how to behave and be safe at the table sales.  By the way--one gross of Girl Scout cookies SOLD!!  I got rid of the last four boxes at the end of school Friday.  Who knew 144 boxes could go so quickly?   After the meeting, we had a birthday party to attend at Chuck E. Cheese's.  How we've managed to go almost seven years without attending a full-on Chuck E. birthday party, I don't know.  But the streak is broken and Little Miss has been reminded how much she loooooooooooves Chuck E. Cheese. 

Saturday was the second cheer competition of this season, so back we went to Fort Worth.  It's the closest, and cheapest of these we've been to.  We even got to catch a little of the parade for the opening of the Stock Show and Rodeo.  Little Miss was her typical cheerful self at a cheer event.

That makeup!

At least Loverboy was able to make this one.  It makes it a lot more fun when you have someone to people-watch with.

There's Little Miss, second from the right.

Despite the proximity and cost, this was by far the lowest end of the competition spectrum as far as awards.

Little Miss was not impressed by the CHEER! pin.  I'm not sure why they would go with a 50 states license plate theme for cheer...

At least we got to take a picture of her with the team trophy.

The most fun was the elevator ride in the parking garage.  Great views.

But by far the most delicious event of the day was our first trip to the In-N-Out Burger in Fort Worth.

Double-double animal style and heed my advice and go for the french fries animal style as well.  You'll thank me.

It was Little Miss's first In-N-Out.  She seemed pleased.

We had to make a quick stop at the grocery store on the way home and who happened to be strolling about but everyone's favorite grocery bag...H E BUDDY.  The excitement never ends when you're a Nockinbird!

Molly and I took a short Sunday drive together today and happened upon this business...which one of these is not like the other...I hope.

I would like to say that this week will, hopefully, be a little more quiet, but who am I kidding?  I pick up 200 boxes of cookies Thursday!
