snow, ice, rain.... repeat...

The weather this weekend was very icky. Kevin and I went to GF friday with the plans of coming home Saturday evening. It was really icy and wet and there was no travel advised so we stayed in Grand forks another night. We didn't go to that auction because when we looked on the internet, the dude's stuff looked like crap. It was old and I found out that this is the second auction on his estate, so all the good stuff was probably already gone. Instead, we went to Crookston with Doug and Karissa, just for a little drive and what not. Isabella was very good all day! Except for maybe the part where we stopped at a restaraunt and she NEEDED to play with her water cup. Then when it got dark last night and Amber called to tell us she was driving back to DL and that the roads were so bad she was only going 30 mph on the highway, we decided to stay and not die trying to get home.

Blake came along with us and we went to "Christmas in the Park" where businesses set up light displays and you drive slow and look at them. It was neat. The last one was from a church and it had Santa knelt down beside Baby Jesus in the manger and it said "all shall kneel.... something something something I can't remember...." but the point was clear, even though the Santa totally looked real, and that display gave me the creeps.

But we made it home today and the roads were still pretty bad, but at least it wasn't dark. Luckily I feel pretty confident in Kevin's winter driving ablilities. We made it in time for Adele's babtism. She was a little turkey. She was well behaved through church, but then got cranky.... who wouldn't when a strange man in a white robe pours cold water on your head? I'd be scared too. But now we are the proud Godparents to one very catholic, very pure little angel.

Amber has pictures...my camera died... so look on her blog in the next couple days I guess and you can see action shots of the babtism thang.

Tonight I'm going to work and making buttons. But first, dinner with Janelle and Darren! That will be a nice quiet change for our very busy weekend.
