Blah

Today is gross. Just a rainy cloudy, depressing Monday.

*

So I will focus on the lovely weekend that I had.....

Besides having to attend class on

Saturday morning, it was a nice weekend.

Saturday I caught a movie with two girlfriends and after had planned on a nice dinner with Justin. However we both opted instead for ordering in, watching the Men's Gopher game and playing a game of Monopoly. It was no ordinary game. No game played exclusively by Justin versus Nicole is "ordinary." Throughout the entire game I had to remind myself that I spend every Wednesday afternoon teaching two kindergartners,

"How to lose like a winner!"

In the heat of this climatic Monopoly game (which is a game that I NEVER lose in!) I found myself pouting, yelling, throwing Justin his money instead of handing it nicely, tipping over his houses, standing his hotels upside down...and than when I lost, I threw Justin's money on the ground and stomped away.

Hmmm....I think I need to start practicing what I am teaching....

Justin's Money....after I lost....I even laughed at him when he had to bend

down to pick it up. Sheesh, I am awful.

So after our raging game of Monopoly, we hung out, slept in and laid low.
I loved every single moment of it.
So did our puppies! Max was all tuckered out after spending two days at daycare.
Below are some cheesy "family-photos."

Our dogs are our children.

That is why we took this spotting very seriously.

3-4 Cougars were spotted in Elk River.

Yes people, COUGARS. I'm not

kidding when I say I live in the sticks.

So our puppies have been under our close surveillance.

I think that is the only boring news worth posting.

Have a wonderful week everyone!
