We’ve come to the end of our long weekend.  I’ve had a nice “mini-vacation.”  I went to another movie today with my sister, Terry.  We saw Four Christmases.  We both liked it alot and we’re big fans of Vince Vaughn.  He makes me laugh just looking at him. 
For dinner tonight, we have finally finished all [...]

Today I took the girls to see the movie, Bolt.   It was cute and enjoyable but I don’t think I’d run out and buy it when it comes to DVD (Purple Girl feels the same way).  Megan & Kelly liked it alot but I had a hard time with John Travolta being a little dog.  [...]

Time sure does fly around the Solberg home.  Yesterday we were hosting a Thanksgiving dinner and today we’re putting up a Christmas tree.  Our house colors go from orange, yellow and brown, to red & green.  Down come the scarecrows and up goes a wreath.  It always amazes me how quickly we change holidays.  After [...]

We have started the preparation for our Thanksgiving feast.  Actually, last night the girls cut up vegetables for us and Nate started in on the stuffing prep.  It’s was fun to have Megan & Kelly helping with this dinner.  They both love to cook and were excited to help.  Megan cut up fresh green beans [...]

Today I went out Christmas shopping and to my surprise, I finished all the shopping for the girls, including Megan’s birthday.  I consider this a success!  I got such good deals and being done early, just makes me feel that much better.  I still have more to get, but I’m off to a great start.
As [...]

What a day I had today.  It started out so wonderful and peaceful.  I went over to a Creative Memories Open House in Prior Lake with my friend Dawn and we had such a nice time just shopping around the house, seeing new products, tasting yummy food, chatting with old friends and even doing a [...]

I had to start my day out earlier than usual because of an 8:00 staff meeting.  Usually they are quite boring, but this one surprised me and was interesting.  Just when it was getting good, it was time to head out and get the kids off the bus.  I wish these teachers could start their [...]

Today we drove over to Barron, WI to attend a funeral.  Nate’s grandfather passed away on Friday afternoon.  He was 93 years young.  It was a cold November day with a few flurries, but inside was warm and cozy.  He had many friends and family there to remember him.  It was fun to see his [...]

This morning, Kelly & did a fun project together.  Her Girl Scout troop is making fleece blankets to donate to the Humane Society.  Their troop wanted to make blankets for kittens and cats so they could be warm this winter.  I drove Kelly to the fabric store (a very foreign place to me) and she picked [...]

This morning, Kelly & I went to school early to watch Megan play floor hockey.  Her team is called, The Minnesota Alley-Cats.  They are tied for second place.  When we got there, the game was just beginning.   I was looking for Megan and couldn’t find her.  Then we looked closer and there she was, in [...]
