We had a pretty fun weekend. The weather has been BEAUTIFUL!!! Im TRYING not to get tooo excited. It IS only March and this IS Michigan. Anyway. On Saturday I went to town to grab a new leash for Dreama, since the boys decided to lose her other one. We had watched Eragon earlier in the morning and we promised the boys a we'd have a family fun day since it was gorgeous. Anyway. So I got the leash (and TONS of flower seeds) and came back and then we started out for a walk. We got about 1/2 mile down the road and Josh jumps INTO a ditch.....luckily it was one of few ditches around here that had very little water in it...and he came up with.........a new snake lol. I understand why he jumped down there now but it was so funny. You'd have to understand...Josh is......as nicely as possible...a chicken :) Hes afraid of a lot of things..but he just had NO fear going after that snake :) Its only a garter snake (which is fine because thats what his other snakes are anyway) but he loves those things so whatever. He held onto it through the whole walk (about 3 miles) and then on the way back, we saw ANOTHER snake. Brandon snatched that one.......because shes DEFINITLY a girl (shes HUGE...female garters give live birth so they're bigger than males to accomodate the growth of up to 50 babies). So Josh is all excited. We decided to let him keep both of the new ones, at least for awhile. We might have him take two of the small ones and let them go in the woods one day....maybe. He wants to see if they'll have babies (all of which will be shuttled outside soon after birth). Then we went for ANOTHER walk, but this time back to our woods. we got back about 7 or something. Then we had supper and played a game. Yesterday, we went for another walk in the woods..the boys and I cleaned the house (Brandon mopped the kitchen). I decided to make a game out of it so they'd be more interested in helping. We used the monopoly money and worked out a system of 'payment' for what they did...then, at the end of the game, whoever won (had the most money) got to pick the game for family game night :) My friend, Maegen, was supposed to be induced today. She went into the hospital because she has problems with her gal bladder (its coming out as soon as she has the baby), so she thought she was in pain because of that...turns out she was in labor lol. When her sister called me at 10 she was just in the really early stages of labor so they were going to let her rest and then induce her today if things didnt progress during the night. Dar said she'd call me as soon as Alexiss was born but she hasnt called yet so................I hope shes not still laboring. I forget not everyone has easy labor & deliveries like me. Im dying to go see her and the baby! Trevor was odd this weekend...he was calmer than usual....and he fell asleep both nights early...he felt KINDA warm but not alarmingly warm. He threw up a couple times this morning, so he's home obviously...hes been fine since, although, much calmer than usual... Brandons on overtime allllllll week. PLUS he has to work saturday. Gotta love inventory time! Hes sick of counting pipe lol :) right. Im outta things to say. Tags: w
