time for a breather...

This week has been a blast!! My cousin came into town and I was blessed to have the opportunity to spend almost the whole week with her and the rest of my fam! Ok... back up... Last Thursday or Friday, I can't remember, my hubby's Granny called him up and asked if we had any firewood.... unfortunately, when we got word that they weren't going to want any this year, we burned all the stuff that we had been putting aside throughout the year... fortunately, we had some really big trees that were down from where we had cleared the fenceline. They were going to be used as seats for this year's Halloween party, but you know, some things are just more important than others!! :) So Saturday, he spends three hours cutting and splitting the wood... I was only able to split a couple of pieces before the little ones woke up and demanded my full attention. Turns out it was almost a cord (or however you spell it). So that was nice. I'm hoping that it will last them the rest of this season. Sunday, we went to my man's parents' house for lunch. We were way late but had a great time. We missed Sunday's evening service in order to deliver the wood, and with the lightning storm in the distance, I'd say we finished just in time!! Monday.... is a blank..... Tuesday, after dropping the oldest at school, we(me and the little ones) met up with my mom, dad, and cousin for breakfast followed by a tour of "the country". Wednesday was a fun day filled with my sister and cousin shopping... shopping... lunch with my bro and sis-in-law... and more shopping. Then that night, we all (my entire family minus one who had to work) went to our traditional "family's in town" hot spot. It was funny, since there were soooo many of us, they 'locked' us in the party room. It turned out rather well as it acted as a corral for the little ones! Thursday, it was off to find souvineers and lunch with my man, my kiddos, my sister, and of course my cousin. Later that night, after my sis fixed my hair and makeup, my daddy, mom, sis, cousin and myself enjoyed a popcorn-tossing showing at pocket sandwich!!! and that leads us to today... and now I'm contemplating my family's own vacation for this year.
