We are SO dragging today! We have had such a wonderfully busy weekend! We had Shane's birthday party on Saturday and after we cleaned up, we grabbed some Culver's and drove over to Brian and Nicole's. Brian needed some help in the front yard, so Nicole and I hung around with the girls (I will let you read her blog if you would like more info!!), and Shane helped the men with the outside work. We didn't leave their house until about 10:30pm, and by the time we got home, Shane and Kayla were both asleep. We picked the up out of the car and straight to bed they went. Jim and I didn't get to bed until almost 1am. We had to feed the dogs and finish cleaning things up.. do you ever have those days that you just can't stop? And even when we layed down in bed at 11:30pm, we still watched TV! I think we were just too wired up to stop!
On Sunday morning we didn't get up until about 8:30am. That is pretty late for us. We try to be ready to leave for church by 9:30am.. we were moving so slow! Somehow though, we all took showers and made it our the door. Good thing they have doughnuts and coffee waiting for us every Sunday when we get there!!! That was ours and the kids breakfast! We stayed for a business meeting after church, so we didn't get to leave there until noon. We then met Brian, Nicole, her cousin Meredith and Taylor at Applebees for lunch. By the time we were done there, it was already 2:00pm. We had plans to meet The McNeel's for some sand volleyball at 2:30pm, but lets just say that we didn't make it there until 3pm! Brian and Nicole joined us there as well and we had a really fun time. The weather was just awesome. We got done at around 5pm and by then, it was time to run home real quick to get cleaned up so that we could run to Pink Hill Park for our Church Picnic! On the way we had to swing by Price Chopper to pick up a few bags of chips because I honestly had NO time to make anything! The only nap Kayla got was the 45 minutes between us leaving the volleyball courts and the time we arrived at the picnic. We just let her sleep in the car while we got ready. She woke up in rare form though! Ready go eat and play! We had a really fun time at the park.. the kids came home SO incredible dirty! The bottom of their tub was nasty!! But, at least the kids were clean and off to bed!!
I love having busy days though.. I am exhausted, but we all had a great time in everything we did. I guess that is what summers are for right??
