I always start my Sunday by drinking my coffee while browsing the sale flyers from the newspaper. I love to clip coupons and figure out what deals I can get each week. I plan the whole thing out ...
We also had to clean up the house and run to the grocery store on this Sunday. Then I made some home made mac-n-cheese and we headed over to our friend's house for an overnight camping trip. (Lynn and Jason's house).The kids enjoyed a hay ride around their property (courtesy of Jason) ...
Then they all decorated pumpkins with paints, stickers and pipe cleaners ...
The men guarded the fire and talked sports ... (Tim, Jason, Bob, Mike)
The ladies tried to get a serious picture but were laughing so hard that it was near impossible! (Lynn, me, Caroline and Sandy.)
Jason cooked up a feast! And we had lots of yummy sides with it ...
This is where we camped ... it was freezing! Camping in October around here is COLD! (but I'd rather be cold than hot, so I'm not complaining!) We brought lots of layers of clothes and lots of layers of blankets ...
Lynn and Caroline (up to no good, I'm sure!)
Caroline holding Sandy's baby Rachel - she is such a smiley baby! (look at those cheeks and chins!)
The kids did bag races late at night - they had a blast. Here are the girls ...
We had an awesome time. We were tired and achy the next day from sleeping in a tent but it was so worth it. What a great end to a busy week.So there you have it - a week in my life. It's never normal, it's never typical, things change from day to day, we sometimes might seem like we never get any school work done, or there's always too much laundry to fold or never enough hours in the day - but it's my life and I love it and I wouldn't have it any other way!
