Catching Up

Scotty got hurt while cutting grass two weeks ago. He ended up with 25 stiches in his left pinkie. Chris and Heather have been in every two weeks since the beginning of February and this weekend will be no different. Ernie's most recent pay check consisted of 132 hours in a two week time period. To say we have been busy might be an understatement.

Today, I ran errands with the kids for three hours and they hung in there amazingly well. Tonight is church and tomorrow we are going to see my mom in Mississippi.

Now on to our weekend:

We have Mommy & Me on Friday morning and the company crawfish boil on Friday evening

I have a hair cut appointment on Saturday morning, Chelsea's birthday party on Saturday afternoon, and the Teacher's Appreciation Banquet that evening at church. Oh, and I'm making Chelsea's birthday cake for her party.

Sunday will be church, lunch and a birthday party for our niece, Abigail. She is turning one on the 29th. Then, we will have a fellowship meal with our Life Group on Sunday evening.

My dad will be arriving sometime Sunday to stay with us for 2 weeks. He hopes to help Scotty get caught up on some yards since he has been out of commission with his hand injury. Plus, dad hopes to play golf with Ernie and will travel to Jackson, MS with Lisa and Chelsea for Chelsea's soccer tournament.

Oh! Nicholas got his first hair cut yesterday. I put it off as long as I could, but I knew it was finally time. He looks so different with just that little trim! Allison also got her hair cut, and for the first time in a long time, the two of us didn't leave with her hair all over us. Usually, I have to let her sit in my lap and she won't wear the cape. But she sat in the big girl chair all by herself and wore a purple cape yesterday. When we got home, she touched her hair and said, "My haircut is very pretty." And of course, I couldn't agree more!
