Chuck's Big Weekend

Well, needless to say, having Maggie for a visit called for a very eventful weekend. The two pups were very busy all weekend and consequently so were we! Here are a few pictures from Maggie's visit:

On Saturday, we spent the day enjoying the return of college football. However, the tigers played a little more of a nail biter than we would have preferred. We can only hope this week won't be quite so close as the bulldogs come to Auburn.

As a side note, I found a great new website that has tons of fun recipes with a section dedicated to gameday snacks. All should check out: http://www.crockpotgirls.com/. The recipes are tasty and easy. We had the sausage cream cheese dip, and it turned out great.

On Saturday night, my cousins Drew and Michael came over to visit with us and Charles and Maggie so their parents could have a date night. My wonderful aunt Susie is addressing our wedding invitations because mother and I both have illegible, serial killer handwriting so we wanted to give them a night out to show our appreciation; plus we love spending time with the boys. We also love that at this point in time at the end of the night when they are all sugared up their parents pick them up! Just kidding!The night included grilling hamburgers and hotdogs, Gigi's cupcakes, and taking the dogs for a walk. Luckily, Kevin was able to intervene before Drew let Maggie leave a surprise on the 15th hole of the Riverchase golf course. I'm sure all the Sunday morning golfers greatly appreciated it!

After the boys left, Charles and Maggie slowed down for the first time during the weekend

We concurred!

Having Maggie was great! She kept Charles company and kept him out of some of his mischief. Following Maggie's departure, Charles was back in full force today. We journeyed to Heardmont Park to meet Kevin for a picnic lunch. Charles promptly jerked the leash out of my hand and subsequently jerked his collar off the leash. We spent the rest of our picnic chasing the greased pig around the park. He is very quick and would creep up towards us and as soon as we lunged for him, dart away. I hope we provided entertainment for all trying to enjoy their lunch break. Luckily, we were able to retrieve him and enjoy the rest of our lunch.

Hope everyone has a great rest of the week. We are looking forward to a weekend of football and one last wedding shower before the big day!
