Well our van has died a slow death....its headed for the salvage yard and we have officially lived out the phrase, "drive it till it dies." You might be wondering what that has to do with this post. Well, the first time our transmission gave us trouble Jeremy headed to his dad's house to fix it. (Which he did and then it died for good less than a week later, bummer) I hate being home alone on Saturdays, which I know is ironic since I do it five days a week. But, I love to do something out of our normal clean the house, cook the meals, do the laundry routine on Saturdays. So....when Jeremy went to be our mechanic we threw our stuff in our loaner car and headed to Illinois. It was a pretty impromtu trip but the kids had lots of fun.
Grace at "play." She is packing up stuff to go rake the yard.
Faith however is content to have Papa swing her.
Wait Papa me 2!
Wait Papa me 3!
The kids love playing with Roxie.
Helping pick up leaves.
Uncle stops in for a quick visit.
Papa keeps Titus busy while the girls cook.
Aunt Jo Jo was thinking about having cake "balls" at her wedding. We tried it out.
Well.....the kids liked them but the adults were not impressed at our first attempt. WAY to sweet and mushy.
Titus shoving his in...
All tuckered out from a great day of fun...like 3 peas in a pod (or 3 kids squished in a car).
Love when my kids get the chance to make memories with my parents!
The girls dressed up and did a singing and dancing show for me. (The treadmill was their "stage")
They also made me this pink & purple crown.
Jeremy surprised me with flowers.
It wasn't a fancy birthday, but it was homemade and a great way to celebrate "29." Now....time to figure out what I want to accomplish before I turn 30. My first goal is to get healthy, so my birthday gift to myself was to join Weight Watchers.
