Pictures coming soon...

Last Wednesday night, me and the girls dropped Cory off at his buddy's house in S. Carolina to go on a 5 day trip to Las Vegas while the girls and I went to Fayetteville. Cory went to the Expo to help his friend meet with vendors in order to expand his business. He was also able to meet up with some family while he was down there. He had a great time. While he was walking convention center after convention center seeing all of the latest and greatest gadgets, the girls and I were helping Cory's mom and dad get ready for an open house for Logan and Becca who just got married. (the wedding that we went to in Minnesota right before Christmas). The open house was in their home so there was a lot of work to be done. We spent Thurs, Fri, and Sat running errands, making food, and decorating. It was a lot of work, but also A LOT of fun. I LOVE decorating for parties but even more than that...I LOVE parties. Especially, when I get to see tons of family and friends who I haven't seen for way too long! I took tons of pictures that I will post on here asap.

Kate and Cloey were really sad to go home b/c they always hate leaving grandma and grandpa's house, BUT they were excited to come home to a package in the mail from my mom that was filled with SEVEN Junie B. Jones books. My girls (especially Katelund) L.O.V.E Junie B. Jones!!! I read them before bed and it always end up going like this..." Okay let's stop after this chapter." "Okay mom". "Okay, now it is time to stop." "NO, PLEASE just ONE MORE CHAPTER!!!, PLEASE MOMMY!" Okay seriously, how can I say no to that? I am such a sucker for children's books and reading so whenever my kids ask me to read more, it is REALLY HARD for me to say no (so usually I don't...which is why my kids NEVER go to sleep earlier than 8 o'clock). They may be zombies the next day, but hey, they love books! :) Apparently it's an okay trade-off for me.

Thank you for all (and I mean ALL with a capital bold exclamation!) your help this weekend. It would have been disastrous without you and we both know it. Plus I feel I need to add thanks to all the many hands that were lent in order to pull off, what I consider was a wonderful evening.
Love Mom (by the beach)
PS Can't wait to see pictures, well...I guess I can as my new lesson in life (so adequately taught this weekend) is to learn how to have more patience. So I will change the words to, with excitement I wait upon pictures to be posted this weekend.
