A visit from the parents

This weekend we had so much fun! Charles and Verny (and Charlie) came to stay with us and dad helped us hang more stuff on our walls! They came Saturday around lunch time and we grabbed some subway and ate it here at the house so that we didn't have to leave Charlie. Mom and dad had their anniversary this week so we went out to dinner Saturday night to celebrate! We tried a new place here in Winston called Texas Land and Cattle and it was really good! It was a fun atmosphere too because there was a cozy fireplace and it was dimly lit....Oh, and a random girl going around making balloon animals? She definitely made me a frog. Surprise, Surprise....I forgot to take a picture of the dinner experience.

After we ate we went to the mall and mom and dad loved it! They got some new t-shirts and we spent a while in Spencers being hounded by the saleswoman and looking at the CRAZY things they have in there. After we left the mall we went to Krispy Kreme (and yes, the hot light was on) and we got doughnut sundaes! We rented a movie from the redbox and went back to that apartment to find a Wound-up Charlie because she had been locked up for a while! She got my balloon-frog and started running around the house with it! We all held our ears because we knew it was about to pop. William was chasing her around the house trying to get it away from her and me, mom, and dad were laughin to hard to help! Here's the action shot:


This morning we all woke up and had breakfast and just relaxed. We ate a TJ's Deli for lunch which is always GREAT and mom and dad always want to eat there when they come. Dad helped hang a bunch of stuff on the walls and mom helped me cleanup. Here's a picture of the three of them before they left After they left, William had to go to school to do some anatomy studying so I ran some errands and then we ate dinner. When we got back, William went out on the balcony and something freaked him out. He started calling my name and when I walked out there we saw this dead bird sitting on the rail of the balcony. We tried to grab something real quick to throw at it to make sure it was dead and the only thing we had available was sausage? So William threw a piece of sausage at it and missed. I pushed him out of the way and told him to watch, and then I missed. We decided to stop throwing sausage because there was probably someone standing below getting hit in the face with sausage. The next idea, which should have been the first, was to go get the broom.

It took William about 5 minutes to actually the poke the bird and once he did, the thing went flap crazy...it started flying everywhere so we ran inside very quickly!

I wish mom and dad could have been here to see that! Dad would have gotten a kick out of us both acting like idiots! William and I both have very busy weeks ahead. William's first test is this Friday so he will be studying intensely this week. It will be busy but we'll both make it and then celebrate this weekend!
