the bee's game

this technically should be in the "august" post, but it deserves a post of it's own.

my hubby is in charge of putting together company event's for Codale.

such as:

The Children's Charity Classic

(a golf tourney that raised $160,000 this year alone for diabetes research!)

and

The Codale Family Bee's Night

so, we thought is would be fun (and smart) to bring ave for a little bit and then

have her go home with my mom so we could mingle amongst the employees.

we had a great time attempting to eat, mingle and watch some baseball.

i only say attempt because with ave, sitting still for more than a minute is practically impossible.

she wanted to run around and play with the water cooler jug that dispersed drinking water.

we were able to catch up with matt, emily and grace for a bit too.

ave LOVES playing with kids. especially kids her age.

Buddies

well, my mom showed up and hung out for a bit.

when it was time for her to leave, i decided to walk with her to the car.

thank goodness i did!

she decided to drive me by where she parked so we knew where to go after the game.

WELL....

my mom decided to park in a car dealer's lot and it was CLOSED and CHAINED up for the night!

who does that?

my mom!

we tried to get a hold of the dealer, but to no avail. they were closed for the rest of the weekend.

and my poor mom was hosting a jewelry party for me the next day and still had to run errands for it.

AND she was leaving to work, on an airplane, at 8:30 on monday morning.

Poor Teri!

i was kind of mad at first, but what do you do?

laugh about it!

we were able to get it on the way to the airport monday morning.

the gates were opened and no one was around.

so, we B-LINED it out of there without explaining to the owner what we were doing.

it all worked out in the end, but it is definitely something i don't want to forget.

(or let my mom live down for a while!! hee hee!!)
