Hi there - think I gave up? Well, my husband was home last Friday with the stomach flu/virus. Finally around 3pm he was feeling up to being out of bed. We went out to Millington after I got home from work. Erin was so excited to finally be "making our beds" at the camper! I have to admit that I was, too. We went for a nice walk that night and scared up some deer in the back field. We were listening to the turkeys in the woods and could also hear fawns crying for their mamas. We had a campfire that night and went to bed very very tired! Erin fell off the bed some time during the night and slept on the floor for part of the night! During the night, I got the chills, etc. along with a belly ache and ended up in bed most of Saturday or laying on the couch in the camper. It was bad! My father in law came over at around 2:30pm and took Isaac and Erin (who were bouncing off the walls) for a ride in his truck around the property while I crashed with Lyndsay. He came back and offered for me to go to his house so he could help watch Isaac and Erin. I was back in bed and told him I didn't really feel like going anywhere! (Jeremy had run to the store that morning and got cereal for him and the kids and then took them into town with him a few hours later and came back with chicken strips and potatoes for lunch). So, he offered to take them to his house and I told him I would come and get them after the baby woke up! She and I woke up at 5:15pm! I went to pick the kids up and they were having a blast. Erin had taken a nap, they had both fallen into the water hole where his pool used to be (the wind knocked it down this winter) and had their clothes washed and dried. While I was there, Erin and Isaac went back outside and looking out to check on them found Erin in her sweatshirt, underwear and nothing else running back through the water again! So, we gave up, got the cameras out and took some pictures! We went home that night. Sunday was church and then back out to the property to have dinner (steaks on the grill!), then back to church again. Jeremy got some biolage planted out back and the corn is also planted as well. Back to work on Monday. All of the kids have been getting belly aches and bathroom blues all week! Hopefully they won't get it as bad! My sister got it as well over the weekend. Monday, she ended up having to put one of her old mares down - she got sick during the night and wasn't going to get better. Amber stayed home from school til 1pm to help her because she was watching my girls that day. Long day for her! Tuesday was yard work day and we stopped at the Greenhouse to buy garden plants and flowers! Tonight we did a bunch of running around - new garbage disposal to replace a leaking one, to Walmart for a few things the kids need for their field trip to the zoo Friday, and to Gander Mountain for a turkey call and more seed. I'm tired and am off to bed! I hope to post some pictures in the next day or two - got some neat ones! We have Fri-Mon off from work! Oh, I did go and get my hair fixed (don't remember if I said that already, sorry) and my nose is finally returning to normal looking - the people at work got a kick out of my story! By the way, nose hairs to come in handy for certain things, but I won't discuss that here!:) Have a great day tomorrow and I'll post more this weekend!
