A real quick post before Lyndsay wakes up - I'm going to make pancakes for breakfast, she already had her cereal for breakfast and is sleeping again...
Last night, we took Amber, Brooke and Curt to their dad's for the weekend and then went to see Wallee(?). What a cute movie! Isaac picked a seat near the front (this is only the 3rd time he's been to the theatre) and thenk goodness it was an older movie- not very many people in there. I ended up in the back after about a half hour with Lyndsay - she was sleeping when we got there, but Erin woke her up (imagine that!). Then, Isaac and Erin each had to go potty about 7 times throughout the 2 hour show. But, other than that, it went well! We went to Red Lobster after, but I'm leaning more and more towards just husband and myself going to restaurants like this. Everyone loves crab legs, and by the time we crack open crab legs for everyone (as well as pay for them), our food is cold and our wallet is empty. They would've had much more fun at McDonald's playplace anyway! We really need to start having a "date night" for the two of us. It's just so hard to be away when we're already away so much as it is.
This morning Erin came out after waking up and I was on the floor playing with Lyndsay and she hugged me and then Lyndsay and told me to take a picture! (Think I take too many pictures or something?) Uh-oh, baby's awake!
At the restaurant last night, the waitress asked Erin what the baby's name was and Erin said "Lyndsay Grace", my mommy went and got her from the babysitter (meaning that's how we got her). I said "I thought we brought her home from the hospital after she came out of my tummy?" NO, the babysitter gave her to us. Could I be in trouble? I don't remember stealing a baby ha, ha.
Last night on the way home from work, I rode in the first seat cuz it was empty and the guy who drives and the lady who sat next to him started talking. She just started riding our van and I remember her from Delphi. She was working in paint shop, but was on sick leave for 1 year and just came back and got out of paint a few months ago. Well, after talking a bit, she said that her 22 year old daughter had passed away a year and a half ago and she was having a really hard time with it. Then, the driver had said his first wife had passed away after 13 years of marriage. I know he is a christian. But, God puts me in the strangest places sometimes where hopefully I can be a blessing. I talked about Danielle a bit and then told her some things the Lord has done for me and how I've struggled so she knows she's not alone. Later, she told me she'd stopped going to church because she didn't want to go anymore. I told her I didn't know how I would survive day to day without the Lord in my life helping me. I told her she shouldn't shut God out, maybe that's why she was having such a difficult time. She looked very thoughtful for awhile. Maybe I planted a seed, who knows. Please pray for her, her name is Linda.
Anyway, onto to our saturday. I think we will be going to the property for a bit and then maybe the Saginaw Fair on it's last day, who knows? Sigh, housework will have to wait:) Have a great day!

Tired out with Daddy!
Making funny faces with Brookie!
My turn (LOOK - A PONYTAIL!) Thanks, Brooke!
Crawling tonight...where'd the catfood dish go?
Another busy day - came home from work to find Brooke mowing the lawn, the kids playing and it was hot! So, Jeremy messed with the pool chemicals, Curt push mowed, we picked from the garden, fed some tomato worms to the chickens and turkeys (YUCK, those are very gross!), we weeded a bit, picked up some weeds, grass clippings, took movies back, ran to the store then to get pizza for supper, then back outside to work on the big flower garden out front full of weeds and no flowers:( Then, inside when the mosquitos wouldn't cooperate to give baths and get ready for bed after cleaning up the kitchen and keeping Lyndsay out of trouble. We have to work tomorrow so off we go to bed, have a good Saturday!
