Late night ramblings...

This was a busy week & weekend for us. I made plans to go to Indiana to my cousins wedding with my Mom. Then Mom wasn't feeling well, and since Alaina's wedding is only 2 weeks away we decided not to go. I already had my bags packed so then I had to turn around and unpack them. Bummer!
My sister in-laws decided to have a yard sell. So I stayed busy cleaning out and getting things priced for that. Cleaning out and organizing then re-organizing seems like a never ending job at this house!!! My Hubby helped by cleaning out our storage building. You gotta love it when He decides to clean out and go through stuff because that doesn't happen very often! :) Friday we had a good yard sell day. Busy but good. Imagine having a 5 family yard sell while watching 6 kids ages 3 and under (with 4 of them being 2 yr. old)! Actually you probably couldn't imagine but it is a site to see! Saturday we got rained out so we are planing on having yard sell this coming weekend also. More time to go through junk. *JOY*
Also Sis. Ruby Thrower age 99 passed away this weekend. So we went to her viewing tonight. What a long blessed life she had. Wish I could have got a few more secrets of life from her!!!
This afternoon after lunch at my in-laws, I came home and laid my boys down for a nap. Tim had a computer to work on so I slipped away for a couple hours. I don't hardly ever do that but needed to get stuff to make pies for the Thrower family and I was looking for a shirt. I really enjoyed having 2 hours to spend in town by myself. I think I might slip away more often on Sunday but I sure wished for my sisters and cousin Melody's company for a half price drink during happy hour! I miss you girls!!! Anyway I have a busy day tomorrow. I am baby sitting my nephews. So I am gone for now.

Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!!

We picked my parents up at the airport Wednesday night from the Bhm airport. (They flew back in from Oregon.) We ate at Kobe's with them, my boys wore their new chef hats. They were just too cute! My parents stayed a few days with us and we really had a good visit!
We went to Anniston Friday afternoon to the park. We took some bread to feed the ducks. The boys really enjoyed that. I had their picture's taken at Sears and they did really good. (I was proud of that!) We went out to eat at Longhorn with Tim's family. Afterwards we went to Wal-mart and that is where the surprise came from...
Amy, Amanda, Michael and Carter showed up at Wal-Mart! What a surprise! I had no idea they were coming!!! (My husband planned the whole thing and kept it a secret!) So the Labor Day weekend turned into a big party for us!!!:)
Saturday we went to the McWane Science Museum. We love that place and have enjoyed our membership this year. Supper was at our favorite local restaurant Old Town Grill...Yummy! Sunday afternoon Amanda, Amy & I went to town for a bit. We took our bridesmaid dresses to my mother in-law to alter for Alaina's wedding. Then we went to Sonic for 1/2 price hour... 3 diet dr. peppers with vanilla. :) Then we went to Burkes...Amanda got a awesome shirt there. I will let her share that later.:) Monday we slept in a little because our lack of sleep caught up with us. We went to Desoto Caverns to play for a while this afternoon. Amy & Aaron racing in the bath tubs was def. my favorite!!!:) We came home and grilled out before they left town.
This was def. a fun weekend...laughter echoed off these walls!!! These are the good times, don't ever forget that!
