Wow, we've been busy already! I will have to post more often because I can't remember what happened 2 days ago without having to really think about it! Must be a part of turning 40 last year or something:) Saturday, I stayed home and reclaimed a clean house while Jeremy went turkey hunting. We also got the push mower going and I mowed a bit out front while the kids played outside. Curt went to the tigers game and was gone til 10pm. Of course, while we were out back playing I let Thunder the beagle loose to run around and eventually he outsmarted me and got on the deck and sailed over the fence. Tried to get him, he wasn't interested and sure enough, about 20 minutes later the phone rang and someone down the road had him. So, we walked down and got him. So, I got lots of exercise Saturday! Christopher, Amy and their 5 boys came over for a cookout also and we had a great time of playing outside, visiting and video games.
Sunday was our anniversary day at church. Attendance of about 10 shy of 400 people praise the Lord! I think Pastor said atleast 17, maybe as many as 25 souls saved. The kids had fun playing on the blow up things after church and free cotton candy and a good meal as well as fellowship! Jennifer, Tiffany and Ashley sang the song "Don't be afraid" and that really touched my heart! Next time you listen to it, really listen to the words! So true! After morning service, went home and mowed some more while Jeremy worked on the riding lawn mower deck and the kids played outside. Beautiful day! Back to church, then home to eat and go to bed!
Monday, we were ready to go early and went to TSC to exchange the mower blades (got the wrong ones:) and ended up bringing home 14 meat chicks and 2 ducklings (Erin was so excited about the ducks and they are cute). They stink so bad already:( I remember the smell well from last years 100 chicks. I don't think it matters how many you have, they smell the same stinky smell no matter how clean you keep the cage! The kids love them, though and they are having fun. Just can't wait til they are old enough to leave the garage! They were half off and that's about what we get them for directly from the hatchery. Ran to my sister's to unload the trailer, then Jeremy went to his sister's with Erin to get roofing materials. I went back home to meet the cable guy who was coming at 1pm. I picked the kids up from school 3pm, practiced a song the kids and I are singing Sunday for Mother's Day (Always a Child), and back home. My dad was in town and stopped by and visited with everyone (Heather, Maggie and Carly came over, too) and we ate dinner. Jeremy and Erin came home about 6:30pm. My dad left around 8 and Jeremy needed to go to Millington to pick up tools for roofing, so he dropped Brooke and I and the girls off at the barn and she rode until he came back to get us.
Today, everyone got baths this morning which is a feat trying to get the hot water to stretch! I got up at 6:30 am and exercised, got the boys up, then Jeremy took the kids to school and went to Jenni's from there. I stayed home and bathed the girls (and myself:) and some laundry before leaving at 11am to try and find a CD with the song the kids and I are singing on Sunday so we could practice at home, but couldn't find it so the girls and I took the kids lunch to school and to Daddy in Clio. We then went to Walmart for groceries and then home to get the kids from school and practice the song again. Then, on to Clio to drop the boys off to help Dad and Brooke and I to the barn with Lyndsay (Erin stayed at Aunt Jenni's, too). Brooke and I came home at around 8pm and are busy doing a few things. I am whipped! And, now I need to change a stinky baby:) So, how was your day? Goodnight, Chris
