THE WEEKEND

Time sure does fly when Billy is around! It seems that there are never enough hours in the day to do all we want to do. It all started yesterday when Billy replaced the water pump in the TrailBlazer. That took a little while but he did most of it while the boys were napping. Then Lance went out to help him. After Garrett got out of his post-nap funk the boys rode their bikes down the sidewalk. This is the first time Garrett was excited about riding his bike and did not want any help from me. Until he fell off.

After that we went to return a few things, ate a Denny's and went grocery shopping. The boys cleaned their plates at Denny's. They have never eaten that much at a restaurant and they were so good! Billy and I were amazed! Garrett ate a personal sized pizza and applesauce. Lance had a Jr. Grand Slam and ate almost all of it! That is a serving of scrambled eggs, sausage link, bacon and 3 silver dollar pancakes and a little side of fruit. That boy would eat breakfast all day long if I let him.

On the way home from HEB we were wondering why traffic was so bad. Turns out that there was a gas pipeline explosion a about a mile from our house. I am so glad we weren't home. There was a huge fire but luckily it was in a pasture so nothing was hurt or damaged. A few of the intersections around the neighborhood were closed and that is why it took forever to get home. There have been helicopters flying over ever since. It is getting a little annoying.

And today we stayed home. Billy let me sleep in until 8:35! That felt good! Garrett and Lance are still coughing and snotty so I didn't want to take them to Sunday School and spread yucky germs around. And I did not feel comfortable leaving them here with Billy and his peg leg. Not both boys at least. So we did not make it to church. Billy did go on a few errands and picked up his new grill. It is so cool! I can't wait for April to come now!

The boys spent the day with Billy in the garage watching the "Piston Cup" (NASCAR), eating Popsicles and playing. I did a few things inside, got caught up on my email and scrapped! And Garrett made an executive decision that we would have supper outside. So we did. That was the end of the day. They fell pretty hard after that. And now all 3 are in their beds snoring. The two little ones snoring is cute. I am not liking the big one snoring.

Here are the layouts I finished up this weekend:

"Leave some lovin" I love it! Didn't know you could change that up. The new pages are great, of course. I can't wait to dress my own little Valentines (or whatever) in matching shirts too.

And big snorers...yeah, when E does it it's cute (and means he's asleep! Woo hoo!) but when J is snoring :(
