Well, it is Friday evening, Daddy is holding Lyndsay, and everyone else is sitting nearby, watching a movie. Amber is at the Patch the Pirate play with some friends at First Baptist. Bear with me as I am learning more and more about different things I can do on this blog thanks to my oldest daughter. My dad will call and ask me a computer question and I'll refer him to one of the girls usually!
We were done at work at 3:30pm but had to wait for some of the other riders on our van who didn't get done til 4pm. I fell asleep on the way home and woke up at 5:09pm only to find we were still in Flint. Apparently with the rain, there were quite a few accidents on the way home and traffic comes to a standstill it seems at each one. So, we got off in Flint and skirted around to Pierson Rd. and got back on 75 to make it home by 6pm! Two hours to make a 1 hour trip! So, Jeremy and I picked up KFC and a few movies to bring home. It is raining and we'll take advantage of that to rest a little! He's going to bring the planter into the garage tomorrow if it's still raining and work on that. He hopes to plant 5 acres of corn at the property and get our neighbor to combine it for us when it's ready. All other land will be planted in hay hopefully! So, I'm sure he'll also be out there plowing this weekend. Wednesday, I had a hair appointment scheduled and I called to see if Kim could "repair" Erin's haircut and she said I could bring the boys as well instead of bringing them Thursday night as scheduled. So, I did. The only bad thing is I think while doing haircuts in between my color, the highlights got left in a little too long and I look a little "blond". Oh well, everyone says I look really young now! That's not a bad thing, right? Atleast the gray is gone:) Erin's hair looks much better and Kim pointed to her license on the wall and told Erin she had to have one of those or be a mom in order to cut hair from now on. Do you think she'll listen? Probably not! After haircuts, off to church and ladies' group practice. We are singing Sunday morning for the big day. Mother's day me and hopefully all of my kids are singing Cherish the Moments. If worse comes to worse, it'll just be me and the girls. We have some practicing to do yet. I didn't get home til 9:15pm that night, then rush rush to get everything ready for the next day!
The chicks have been doing great outside. We let a few out of the pen to run around and let the kids play with them as well. We have to be careful Erin and Isaac don't step on any and hurt them! The turkey's are a lot of fun. Today, we had to call after school and have Brooke go out to shut off the heat lamps and check on them. When we got home, she wanted to take a shower cuz one of the turkeys had jumped onto her head when she bent over. He must really like her! Most of the week we've been playing outside a little while after work before coming in to get ready for bed, etc.
Wednesday, Heather babysat Erin and Lyndsay for me. They had a great time! Erin was so excited about going over there - she was no problem going to bed Tuesday night! She and Maggie enjoy one another! All of my kids love Aunt Heather's house and Aunt Heather! It's hard to get them to leave once they are there! But, that's a good thing!
I got Isaac's costume for their play for Kindergarten Graduation. He is the pig and I had to order a costume on line. When it came in the mail, Brooke opened it to see if it would fit him and he said he wasn't going to wear something that was for girls! Pink was for sissies! Oh boy, what to do? I thought about trying to dye it a black or brown, but don't want to ruin the fabric I paid good money for and don't have time to order a new one, if needed. So, I told him he'd have to wear it after all there were pink boy pigs at the fair! I did tell his teacher she may want to consider having a girl play the pig part in future plays. Hopefully all will go well. His K5 graduation is Sunday, June 1st (also his 6th birthday) at 6pm. I can't wait - they've been practicing for a long time!
Well, I'm off to get the baby who is now fussing. I'll try and take some pictures this weekend and post again. Have a great weekend!
