Weekend Wonders in Winter Wonderland

I really need to start posting to the blog on a regular schedule!  Tomorrow (Thursday), is Arionna's 8th birthday.  But, before we can get to that, we need to talk about last weekend.

Arionna: Future Birthday Girl, with her snowman Napkin holder

Saturday Arionna, Alora, Marie and I all went to breakfast at the Broomfield Community Center.  The girls got to visit Santa at the same time.  Breakfast consisted of doughnuts, fruit, and coffee (milk for the kiddos).  It was a good start to the day.  Kaylee didn't join us on account of:

A) It was early (8:00 am), and

b) It was cold (snowing when we left)

Afterwards we dropped Marie off at home and the girls and I headed over to Lowe's for their Build and Grow clinic where they put together the Caboose for a Christmas train.  This was an adventure as Arionna has only one good arm to pound away at the nails.  My job was to hold the nail....and pray.  She did good, and I walked away with my hand still functioning.

After this, we headed across the street to Home Depot where the girls made Snowman Napkin holders.  These were really nice...no nails!  Just four screws, two dowels and Home Depot even had paint for them to paint the holders.  The girls loved it...and my fingers gave thanks too. 

So, that was the weekend.  Arionna's arm is slowly getting better.  She heads to the doctor on Monday to make sure everything is healing well.

I'm still looking on the Job Front.  I have a few opportunities still out there, so here is hoping one of them comes to fruition!
