so little time

we had another full weekend.

saturday we had a friend's wedding.

i have a bias toward fall weddings,

they're my fave. obviously.

this one involved cowboy boots,

a whole table of desserts and 

literally a boatload of beer,

so ronnie and i were in heaven.

luckily it was in warrensburg, so

my parents watched both girls for me

and i was able to run home in between the

wedding and the reception to nurse reid.

ronnie and i had a fun night.

i think we both feel the need to make the

most of the time we get out of the house.

just imagine us running toward the light,

yelling  F R E E D O M  like braveheart.

yeah, its a lot like that.

that being said, i'm good staying home until,

lets say, new year's.

it's hard to stay out late and then get up at

5:30am to take care of little ones.

not to mention, pack, load up the car

and fly down the highway back home

so i could spend my sunday with

my college roommates, margie and shannon.

and our 7 kids

(with another one on the way...

marge is due with her third nugget this january.)

let me give a small piece of advice:

if you are overrun with kids and you don't

feel like entertaining just make

your husband bust out some sort of heavy

equipment and let the kids watch.

it gave us some actual alone time on the deck while

the crazy kids watched ronnie on the excavator,

took turns riding with him,

and helped him pick up sticks.

free labor.

i'll take it.

they even found a huge black snake,

which none of them were afraid of,

so they eagerly watched ronnie chopped it up

while i silently freaked out from 50 yards away.

seriously, brette. back the hell up.

and all too soon, it was monday,

but luckily it was columbus day

so the bank was closed.

unfortunately, it's a "working" holiday

so i spend my morning painting an

old lady's house.

no worries though.

i was home in time to put both girls

down for a nap and watch the most amazing

comeback by the royals.

which ps- i'm crossing my fingers for tomorrow.

and now i'm just trying to recuperate and

catch up around the house.

hope you had a great weekend too!
