Hello again Monday....

Up making pancakes this morning for a house full of sleeping people....Christopher woke up a while ago but went back to his room, and Joey and Laci are both out still. I am worn out from the weekend but I still have a ton to do. We are working on the yard a little to get it better suited for us and the kids to spend quiet time out back with them. I managed to find a swing set (well an A-frame with 4 swings) on craigslist for 100.00 and Brian went yesterday and dug it out of the ground for 2 hours and brought it here and now today we have to attempt to get it back together and in the ground. It isnt much but its some swings and the kids will like it! I was shocked to see the price of wood playsets....START at 400.00 and go pretty much up to 25,000.00. Some people have more money than they know what to do with I think....but I am happy my kids got some swings. I also got them a sandbox off craigslist for 20.00, and some sand from Home Depot so they will have a sandbox again finally too. :) (now if I can just keep clover out of it! LOL!!)
The weekend went by in a blur. Saturday we attempted to go to the lake with the kids and that lasted all of about 2 hours because we chose Galt's and it was *packed!* and the mexican couple having sex in the corner of the roped off swim area was more than irritating, so we chose to leave. We went home and did some cleaning up and let the kids play in the pool, and just relaxed after that, then yesterday most the day was either running errands or Brian digging that swingset up. Joey came over and spent the night which was so awesome! He says he wants to come again this weekend for the 4th of July fireworks show with me and Brian and the kids, but I will believe it when I see it, lol! It was nice having him here just once, even if its 9am and he is still asleep! Ha!
This week will be pretty chill. I have a playdate with Ansley and her mom on Wednesday, and Friday I have plans with Brooke, but for the most part I just want to relax and catch my breath as this month is flying by and I am a little overwhelmed with how much has gone on.
Oh, and the best part of this weekend? We got our new SUV! Yay! Our red hot 2001 Blazer! It has some stuff we have to get fixed on it, but she is a beauty! I am very pleased with it and hopefully this one will last a bit longer now! :)
Welp, I am going to go start my day of relaxing by laying pine straw in the front yard, and hauling 50 pound bags of sand down the hill and cleaning the back yard...LOL!
26 more days til VACATION!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!
