Frosties, Noodles and Corn on the Cob

I had a really nice weekend, which went way too fast. First of all because there is no radiation on weekends, and then, on Saturday Allie and Erin came to visit. I sometimes still can't believe they drive! They brought us Frosties and they provided us with lots of entertainment, as usual. I still miss spending my days with them, so it is always a treat to be able to spend time with them--especially considering how busy they are all the time with school and friends and life. Of course we played that silly drawing game we always play!

Then in the evening, Jackie, Andrew, Sophie and Padraig brought us dinner from Noodles and Company. I had never had been there before. I ordered the Japanese Udon noodles which were to die for. Mom also made some corn on the cob, and Padraig had the time of his life sucking on a cob (sans corn). Sophie and I laughed our butts off when he started screaming when they took it away from him. At the end of dinner there was more corn on the floor than the table.

On Sunday Teri, mom and I went to see Jay, Alicia and the kids. It's crazy... we went down there last Sunday because Nik was going to go in for surgery on Monday (he ended up having it on Tuesday), and here we were only a short week later and he's home already and you would never know he had had open heart surgery. The only things he can't do are ride his four wheeler and do things like jumping and carrying heavy things and anything that might cause strain. Other than that he was the same old Nik. Right when I came in the door he wanted to sit on my lap and tell me all about the things he can and can't do. Anna showed us the Lego house she made--we couldn't believe she made it herself, but she promised she did. And the little one was insane as always.

It was good that Teri was driving because I was having a hard time keeping my eyes open on the drive home.
