The trip out there was pretty uneventful. We went to Oklahoma City and stayed the night with my Aunt Vicki and Uncle Milt. (Thanks so much!!) And then we made the rest of the trip the next day. The kids did pretty good and I was especially proud of Andrew. No accidents!! The night that we got there we took the kids to the county fair. It was a blast and I got to see several people that I haven't seen in years. My mom had entered the blessing gown that she made for Paisley (see previous post) and got best of show. Go Mom!! Then we pretty much sat around and visited. We went and saw my Mamaw and my Nanny. And I was able to see some of my good friends from high school. (Hey Lacy, Bert and Chels!)
One of the highlights of the trip was that I sewed my first thing ever!! It was just a simple apron, but I did it all by myself (with my mom's guidance). I'm so proud of it and am planning on making another one for a back up.
Another hightlight was being able to french braid Emma's hair. That's right, I said french braid. Now it doesn't matter that she had just had a bath and that she was drugged because she was sick. I was able to have a 2 year old sit still enough for me to do it. The first time I did it I was able to do 2 braids kinda like pig tails. And the only reason I was able to get that done is she passed out on the floor. (From being tired!) I had to move her head around and kinda straddle her with out sitting on her, but I did it! Oh the things we mom's do! I'll have to post pics of that later because we took some with my mom's camera.
While I was away, James had a fun day too. He came home from work one of the days I was gone and walked into the carport to find this starring at him.
Yes that is a bat. We don't know where it came from, but from what I heard from James, it didn't like it when he shot it with a rubberband. Apparently it started falling and then opened it's wings and flew straight for him. James said he didn't scream like a girl, but he did run like crazy. Now I don't want people to think that he was super mean to the thing. He just got it with a rubberband. It might have had a little welp on it, but serves James right!
It was nice to visit, but it's always nice to come home. Especially when a WONDERFUL husband has cleaned up the living room, both bathrooms, kitchen and dining room. And then we came home and trashed it. Well, not really, but it's not as clean as it was. And I could have kept up with it, but when I got home I got sick. I usually don't get sick, but when I do I do it right. I wasn't going to go to the doctor, but decided other wise and found out that I had bronchitis, sinusitus, and a double ear infection. It's amazing how much antibiotics can help. A couple of hours after taking the first dose I wasn't achey and was feeling a ton better. I still have a cough, but that will go away with time (it hasn't even been a week since being on pills).
So that's how everything went, promise I'll get some more pics soon. Happy blogging!
