Good Tuesday Morning!! I'm so out of whack because of the long weekend! LOL! The girls were off Friday - Monday. So, it really has goofed up our schedules. We ran them ragged over the weekend. They helped us plant flowers/veggies, we went to the lake, we had a bonfire w/neighbors, we camped in our yard, we went to a picnic at the neighbor's where they ran thru the sprinkler.....they were soooooooooo tired last night! Not to mention, so were we. We had an awesome weekend, and celebrated being in our house 2 years! I can't believe how far we have come since it was "finished". It is so funny, that it was finished enough to live in, but not really "finished". LOL! Anyhow, that was our weekend. Today, I need to get out and weed between the strawberries, then fold laundry. Otherwise, no big shakes around here. I'll probably start weaving the teacher baskets I need to make before next Friday. I'll try to convice dh that we need to go for $1 taco tuesday in town, for dinner. What do you think?

Hugs,
Wendy

$1 taco Tuesday?!?!?!?! Count me in! And I know what you mean about having a house that's finished but not finished. uhg. This house is about 7 years old, we bought it when it was almost 4 years old, and it still doesn't feel finished to us. There's so much we need to do to personalize it.

Today I have a lot to do. I HAVE to exercise. I also need to put away the many loads of laundry laying around in baskets, give the twins their baths (already got Nikki hers), and help Jen clean her room (sigh). She's such a slob! After it's cleaned up, I'm putting a lock on her closet where her toys are stored so she can only get them out with my assistance. I'm so fed up. My other 2 are not like this!! Litterally, we have to clear a path to her bed at bed time just incase we have to get to her quick in the middle of the night. She has bad dreams about 3 nights a week and calls out for us. And she's so darned cute she gets away with it. Somehow she can take something that is totally her fault and make you feel sorry for her and want to help. I tell you, that's going to work in her favor later in life! Dh and I agree that some day she's going to drive men CRAZY, LOL.

Fil will be back today. Man!!! I can't wait till this thing is completely and undeniably DONE. He's just doing some finish work - rounding edges, adding the binoculars, periscope and steering wheel, some handles and a back to one of the picnic benches. It took them 8 hours just to put the roof on yesterday. It is too cool. They used a kind of vinyl siding that looks like cedar shingles on it and roofed it like you would the roof of a house. Neato.

Hope everyone has a great day! I missed chat yesterday and might be begging for it today. See ya!

Hello ladies. I hope everyone had a great MOnday and had fun celebrating Memorial day.

We have no plans for today. Chris and the boys still have a cold, even though I do too, I wont get to rest one bit.
I do have to take some books back to the library and maybe stop at the store for some breakfast foods for the week.

Good Morning everyone!!!

Kyle went back to work today, and as much as I LOVE having him home, it means I can get back into my daily routines... YAY! We had a nice day yesterday... my family came over and we grilled hamburgers, had baked beans, potato salad, corn on the cob, oreo pie, cheesecake, and my dad had also grilled pork chops & sausage. We ate waaaaaayy too much LOL. All the leftovers combined with the taco leftovers from sunday, I won't have to cook again until Thursday or maybe even Friday LOL.

I have some laundry to do today, and other than that I'm pretty much just resting from the weekend.

Everyone have a wonderful & blessed day today!

Boy what a weekend!! We shopped and shopped because there was nothing else to do in the rain. LOL But on Monday it was beautiful so we hit the highway and went to the Zoo. We spend 4 HOURS in there and didn't see everything. LOL It was so awesome. Lesley I don't think I would have found even if I was trying. It is huge. The kids were so tuckered out by the time we left. Today I have so much laundry to do it is awful. And DH is on call tonight so he won't be home until tomorrow night. :( So I may be posting tomorrow that the kids are driving me crazy. LOL Have a great day!!!
