Weekend update

No, I can't promise this will be funny either.

Friday night we hosted a surprise birthday party for Andi at our house. Mission accomplished: She was surprised. I was duly surprised when it turned out that enough food and drink had been bought for the party. Usually I buy enough so that every person present can have 2-3 beers, 2-3 mixed drinks, 2-3 sodas, and stuff themselves silly while having a good time and not lining up in front of the bathroom. I'll have to remember this for December and February.

Saturday was a lazy day. It was a nice day out. I got the backyard leaves raked for the first of many times this year as the big tree in our yard is stubbornly holding on to the rest. I walked to a book store to pick up the new George R. R. Martin book. And then we read and napped and ordered in Chinese food.

Sunday Oliver decided that it was time for him to start walking with his walker. It's really cute. It looks like he's walking behind a grocery cart. Later that night we went to an Energizer sponsored night at the Magic House. Oliver got to do some playing about and we got out pictures taken with the Van Der Graff generator.
