Fun times

We had a wonderful trip to Calloway we got there way early the first day, because we left way early my sweet husband loves to leave early so we left at about 4:57 a.m. The only time I get up early is for a trip. We first had to find a shoe store because we both forgot to put Darrin's running shoes in the car (they stink to bad to put in the suitcase) so all he had was flip flops. Then we looked at all the shops in Pine Mountain very quaint. We also got to check in at around 9:30 a.m. which worked out great regular check in is around 4:00p.m. but our room was ready. We meet the in-laws and had dinner and the next day went ate again then went to the Fantasy in Lights which was very good , we sang Christmas carols and it was very well done. Then went to Mom's and ate again and saw my family and watched Alabama lose very not fun. Then Darrin and I went into Prattville and went to dinner and a movie which was about my favorite part of the trip we haven't been on a date in awhile. We got home about an hour ago and are now doing laundry I guess the vacation is official over.The pic are of us, my nieces Taylor and Morgan my brother-in law and his wife Jim and Pam.

Vaction anyone?

So we leave for vacation Wednesday it feels like I have been preparing for it for weeks which I have mentally. When in reality I have done almost nothing to prepare which is not like me I usually start packing 2 to 3 days in advanced( I have only just now started washing clothes) but the thing is I always start packing and it really doesn't take that long so I feel like I have been working and it feels like I have worked so hard for no reason. So I have decide to see how it feels to put something off to the last minute. I am not very good at being spontaneous I would like to be better at it I always plan everything and leave no room for getting off the beaten path and finding something new. So I know that packing late is not that big of a deal but for me it is a baby step. So since I have already waited I can't help but for it to be the last minute I am very excited and a little worried. How will I ever get it all done. Is this how spontaneous feels? I don't know if I really like it?

Sickish.

We have a stomach thing I was just talking with Missy about we haven't been sick in a while and what do you know sick (next time Missy let's use code words so germs can't hear me and get angry and attack) but hopefully we will be all better in time for our trip. I am actually looking forward to it and can't wait to see the family. We also went to see SUE at the Anniston Museum WOW!!! It was a really great museum and the kids had a blast and the ladies had a blast to. I hope to go back soon. We missed church today because of the stomach thing and we missed last week because we were exhausted from the play and now we will be out of town next week I miss going but it so great that we get together during the week for different stuff and I love that. Well I guess I will go tend to the sick ones.

Loved today.

What a wonderful day today I usually don't like it when it gets hot again but it was so beautiful today. Had a great day at school I seem to for now found my grove. The first year of homeschooling was not easy and I felt very discourage but now I think okay I see improvement and Eric is starting to read and wow this can be sort of fun. Then they are those days when I think this is to hard and I just can't but those days are further and further apart these days. We then went to the park and ran into Paige and it was great the kids had Landy to play with and Carson they had a blast. So now I am doing laundry and I really didn't want to because we are going out of town next week and I was hoping to put it off until we where ready to go but I thought my kids might not like to go out naked to the various things we have these week so laundry it is. Also I am cooking baked potatoes for supper and that is so easy (Darrin bought a 10 lb bag of potatoes) we are going out of town and I have this thing about cooking everything that could go bad before we go. We usually don't have milk for 2 or 3 days before we leave so that it can't go bad while we are gone. I am also looking forward to a whole week off and away I absolutely love to travel(we go to South Dakota and always drive we love it) I really love to drive, by drive I mean ride while the man drives he doesn't mind me driving he just can't stand to sit there with nothing to do. So I get to sit there and think and talk to the man without to many interruptions. (Darrin is the man by the way I just want to see if he reads this). Life today was great thank you God for life.

I can't beleive Thanksgiving is next week!!!!

Well we finished the play (no flash photo's were allowed during the play so I only have rehearsal photo's) it was really great a lot of hard work but I meet a lot of great Mom's and got to hang out with some great Mom's I already knew. Zachary had a wonderful time and learned a lot (especially about sitting and waiting until it was your turn) the star of the play (in mind was Zachary of course) but he was the Hare he was really fabulous and made it worth going each night. My Mom also came up and Darrin's Mom so that was very nice. Now, I can't believe it is Thanksgiving next week we are going out of town to see our family's and I can't wait. Time seems to fly the older and busier I get and most of the time I love it and the whole time during the play and soccer I know it will end and I will be sad and then it does end and I am glad and sad to so now on to more busy things like the holidays and friends and family. I am feeling the need to make a craft that looks like a turkey. Very exciting.
