What a Great Weekend!

I've had a really enjoyable weekend!

Thursday evening we spent with the Computer Diva and Z. We car pooled to Addison to watch thier famous Kaboomtown 4th of July firework display. We set up in some shade (thankfully) and enjoyed the fabulous air show. I'm not sure what type of plane this one we saw was but it was a type of bomber and it came swooping down real low so you could get a great view of it. Of course this is the time we forgot to bring our camera!! sheesh! We continued to enjoy the air show up until it started getting dark. Then we noticed another plane up there but that's a bit wierd cause you can't really see it. But then the coolest thing I've seen. It started dispensing sparklers (best way to explain it) and flying upside down and everything. Then it started to (as Mr. M said) tooting fireworks out. Every now and then it let out some fireworks. I've never seen that before out of all the years I've been to Kaboomtown. Now on to the fireworks. They do them to music and this year was a bit disappointing. They were a little close to the ground and some of the music was something you would hear every day on the radio as opposed to patriotic music. It was still an enjoyable night.

However on the way home we received a phone call from a neighbor down the street telling us they had our dog. Sigh. M&M evidently dug a hole under our neighbors fence and then from there got out. Mr. M even mentioned earlier in the evening that he had a feeling she was getting out that night.

Friday, July 4th. We went to CD and Z's house for some burgers and brats. One of his neighbors had some black cats and let us play with some. Then a few of us decided to run to the firework stand and purchase a few things of our own. We did have one minor injury but all is well. Enjoyed watching us fire off some fireworks and watching all the others that were being done in the neighborhood. (We kept M&M inside the house because of the night before and in the event any of our neighbors did any fireworks we knew that would scare her)

Saturday. Mr. M and I went to breakfast and then went to watch Will Smith's Hancock. That evening we went to Buffalo Wild Wings to watch the UFC fight. Luckily we got there early cause it gets to be standing room only.

M&M wanted to sleep outside last night so I left her out. I woke up about 6:30 this morning to see if she wanted to come back in and she was gone again. I woke up Mr. M and I got dressed and hopped in the car and drove around the neighborhood. Mr. M called me to let me know that he had her. He thought he heard something outside the house and looked out the window and saw her laying in our nieghbors yard. He opened the door and told her in a nice fun way "come inside" and she came running in. Luckily we found her this way cause she was missing her collar. We later found it next to the new hole under the fence. Again sigh.

So minus a few glitches we've really enjoyed our weekend.
