Bath, birthday, Build-a-Bear

Allie's birthday was a couple of weeks ago and I went home for the weekend. I got to watch a little bit of Meshugge Nuns rehearsals (they serenated me with "Three Shaina Maidels" before I fed them Krispy Kremes), visit a little with Gramma and Dixie, go to the dump with Daddy, and see the end of Layla's bath. Saturday was gorgeous, and Allie and I played Bratz outside in the yard. We took pictures of Toro and the burros. Allie's party was at Rick's Saturday evening. Pizza, Lizzie McGuire cake, arcade games, presents, cash, a good time for all - especially the birthday girl, I think. Later that night Mama, Daddy, Gramma and I watched The Princess Bride. Inconceivable!

Today, Mama and Allie drove over to Little Rock to get Allie's AWANA book incentive: Build-a-Bear at the mall. It was a nice break for me, after a whole day of spring-fevered students who couldn't have focused on a twenty-foot high flourescent bullseye. Allie picked out a border collie, had her stuffed, dressed her in a shirt and skort, and named her Alex. We ate in the food court before coming back to my apartment to play for a little while. I'll be home for spring break in a few days.
