Yes, we survived gig #1 with Elvis and the newlywed game. Rick was hilarious as Elvis, as those who know and love him can well imagine. He forgot the words to one of the verses of Teddy Bear so he turned backwards and held up his cape…. for effect, I guess. Then he started talking like Elvis, of course, to fill in the gap. I don’t remember it all because I was laughing so hard, but I remember something like “If you are here with your main squeeze, take her hand right now and sing with me”…….. but he wasn’t singing. We also forgot the tape for his sideburns, so they were flapping in the wind.
They boys won 2 of their 3 hockey games this weekend..Aus scored three goals… makes a mother proud. I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel for this season.
We accidentally left Rick’s car at the church yesterday in all of the commotion that went on. It’s a half an hour drive. Bummer dude. So I hitched a ride with one of our pastors early this morning and retrieved Rick’s car for him.
So, the week is starting…. on your marks. Get set. GO!

How do you “forget” a car?

It wasn’t easy. Rick was delirious from being up since 4:00 am for the hockey game. Then we left the church all together in the van to eat lunch and went back to the church for Super Hero practice….. THEN we forgot the car. See?

OK, so last year, Jess drove herself to school and then we all met at the school later for an event and then we all piled into the van and came home. She gets up the next morning to go wherever it was she needed to and her car was not there! She was crying and was sure it was stolen! Even Bruce thought so. I came down and was trying to figure out the last time we had seen it and between us, we figured out, we had left it at the school the night before. One good thing…it cured her of leaving valuable items in the car (she had ALL of her costumes for the school musical in there…would have been irreplaceable…!)
