Weekend Surprises

Hello fellow blogger readers.  I have been slacking on my posts, and I feel like they are going to be less and less...or more and more...I'm not sure.  Since I am down to working part-time (two days this week, three days next week), I will have more time to be at home, but I have a feeling less time on the net.  (I tend to hate to be on the computer when I am at home).  So, I'm not sure how the blogging is going to continue. 

This weekend was amazingly fun!  Kyla flew into town to surprise my mom and her grandma!  Mom was in utter shock at 10:30 pm on Friday night when Kyla was the one who entered the house, and not me.  It was fun to see that reaction.  The weekend was planned to be a "girls" weekend, and I was already planning on spending the night at my mom's house for the entire weekend.  So it was perfect! 

Saturday was our shopping day. 

Mom is in the hunt for a new car, so we went to Parker Toyota to check things out.  The car salesman sneakily brought this Acura TL out, and mom instantly fell in love with the black leather interior and all the fancy bells and whistles.  I do have to admit that this car is pretty sweet.  It just doesn't seem like "mom".  Kyla and I had to talk her out of buying it on the spot and to look around. 

We then drove into Spokane to do some Christmas shopping, and went to PF Changs for a later lunch.  Mom ended up having this crazy fortune cookie!  Maybe it IS a sign she should buy that car. 

After some hours of shopping downtown, we went to The Secret Life of Bee's.  It was a great movie, and followed the book fairly well.  My plan for the day didn't quite happen as I was hoping it would...but sometimes you just can't make plans for have expectations.  I was wanting to head to Northtown, to get mom's Christmas shopping done, and we didn't have the time to do that.  But she then reminded me that I will have the week day to go shopping...

We went back to Coeur d' Alene, and headed to Target for some more shopping.  By now it is close to 9 o'clock.  We went to Chili's to have some appetizers and of course the infamous MOULTAN dessert!  Oh wait...the shopping never stops!  We headed into Fred Meyers and shopped until 11 pm!  WOW!  We were tired!

Sunday, we met Dad and Grandma Mary for breakfast and Old European!  Grandma still didn't know that Kyla was in town, so we surprised her!  It was hilarious to see her reaction!  Kyla, Mom and I were sitting down when they entered the restaurant.  Grandma went around the table and said good morning, and when she got to kyla...and said good morning, not realizing who it was...and then did a double take.  I think she was speechless for a good 5 minutes! 

The rest of the day we went out and took some pictures!  Thats right...you are looking at America's Next Top Model!  Hopefully Kyla will post some of the good shots soon!  I am looking forward to seeing them!

We went to this mural...and tried to get some pictures...but it was a bit hard and busy....

This week I am only working on Monday and Tuesday.  I have the rest of the week to um...I'm not sure...
