Ok, not really a painting party, but a wife of one of the soldier's AJ is deployed with came back last week. Her name is Annie. Her husband's name is also AJ, which led to her and I nicknaming our husbands Batman (being my AJ) and Wolverine (being her AJ). Our superhero's have become good friends while deployed and so they decided to test their efforts at "friend match-makers" and hook Annie and I up last week when she got back into town.
We met up at Lowe's last Thursday while she was picking out paint for their new place. Annie is a pretty hip chick it turns out, and so I came over on Friday and Saturday to help her move in and paint, and then again on Sunday to have a homecoming cake and movie night. Wolverine and Annie have a beautiful 3 month old little girl named Ariee (Air-ee) that Blitz quickly became obsessed with.
On Friday afternoon, we had a slight "redneck" adventure when little Ariee had an "excessively" dirty diaper. Exasperated, Annie realized she did not have any soap, a baby tub, or towels with her. This led to our using a piece of card board as our changing station, the sink sans soap, and plenty of paper towels, to give Ariee her make-shift redneck bath.

Blitz had a great time. He LOVES Ariee and anytime she would make any sort of noise would run over to check on her. He also became obsessed with keeping her face clean. :) Also, out of nowhere, this dog came inside from playing with an old football he found. The house that Annie is moving into is far in the country, and hasn't been resided in for a while, so your guess is as good as mine as to where in the world he found a football! Just like his dad, he can make anything into a game of football I guess!! :)

Then on Sunday, I brought over some cake and ice cream and Annie and I celebrated her first night in the new place. Since she had barely moved in and hadn't had a chance to un-pack the kitchen yet, we improvised on utensils and bowels. I played with Ariee a bit and then she crashed out on her toad and Blitz chilled out and played.

| The popcorn bowel was the plastic cake cover... Lol |

| Turtle Cake!! Looks soooo good! |

| Our consumption method! The cake was sadly a little dry.. But it didn't deter us much.. |

Hope you all had a good weekend!!!
