A Short Visit

The parentals came down yesterday afternoon for a short visit to mainly get salt and pepper from Costco. Interesting. haha. I was so excited when they called and said they were headed this way! We went to eat at the all time favorite Texas Roadhouse but it was closed and we were not waiting for 2 more hours to eat. SOMEBODY was getting a little cranky. So we went to Famous Dave's and had a huge meal! I couldn't believe the amount of food. The menu said it would serve 4-5 people. Well we ate a lot but then started saying that Rustin and Ryan could probably get full as well then we all looked at each other and said, well maybe just Ryan! (He's a big eater) We then got to go to Dillard's...oh wonderful...and return a shirt (boys waited in the truck) and after 3 attempts of getting the right debit card to put it back on, Dad and Cody lost their patience and came in to see what the heck was going on! Again...thank you Dillard's policies for being so convenient. Oh and did I forget to mention that the pervert finally got fired. Happiest day of my life.

We then made our way to Costco and picked up salt and pepper. Still odd. We came home, played banana grams which is an easier version of scrabble and apparently its for the illiterate or cheaters and dirty minds. Mom, Cody and I both spelled words that were highly inappropriate and then dad made up words like voit and asked how to spell mise'll (aka might as well), spelled words backwards and would trade out tiles he didn't want and took however many he wanted. He takes after his mother.

Then when they left mom and I made several jokes about mise'll. Mise'll go home before it gets dark. Mise'll go to the bathroom. On and on and on. Dad finally got in the truck and cranked the radio, we would continue and he would turn it up louder and rev the engine. It was absolutely hilarious. Mom bout wet herself. When we walked away and they pulled away, mom rolled down the window and yelled, "mise'll get out of the way, he's backing up!" Cody thought we were so weird!

I enjoyed spending time with my parents and with Cody. It was a great day and they were awesome entertainment! And they even got a glass of water with ice cubes. My hosting is getting better and better every trip. haha

FYI--salt and pepper were our year's supply items for January and February. That's what we were told to buy so I was just doing what I was told....
