Busy weekend

This weekend was a busy one. I did get to spend the whole weekend with Hubby though. This was his last weekend off for a little over a month. Yuck! Starting today he will work at least 40 days straight/12 hours a day. Sucks to be him. They start the shut-down on Halloween and it goes threw to sometime in December. Which also means, he'll show up in the middle of trick-or-treating. I guess he'll be a welder/millwright for Halloween. This time a year is always hard on the kids and me, but we will get him back right before Christmas till the end of January everyday, all day. Usually by the end of Jan I am ready for him to start working again. So it all pretty much works out.

Anyway, back to this weekend. We went shopping. When I say shopping I mean all day at 5 different stores. That was a tad stressful with the two little ones running around but we did get almost everything we needed. I gotta go ask one of the stores here local to order Hubby some jeans. He's a skinny butt and it's really hard to find jeans skinny enough and long enough. 29/36 slim fit/cowboy cut. I bought all of them last time they had some but he goes threw them fast because of his job. We did get everything the kids needed though so that was good.

After a day of shopping, we went over to Hubby's brothers house and relaxed and hung out with the neighbors till about midnight. Kids went to bed early, pooped out from shopping! My brother-in-law built a shop in his back yard but it's kinda turning in to a mini bar for all the neighbors to hang out at. At one point, the guys started rolling dice. I don't gamble, never even bought a lottery ticket, but thought I would give it a whirl. So I asked Hubby for some ones (he gave me six when he had just won like 30) and I started rolling the dice. Apparently, I had luck on my side because I rolled 5 sevens in a row. Not bad, I started with $6 and ended with $57. WhooHoo! I didn't roll again after that run because I was scared I would loose it all. Then, we just played horse shoes (which I am really good at too) and then went to bed, exhausted!

Sunday, we just came home and installed a new electric fire place. I gotta say, that is one of the coolest things ever. Looks like a real fire place but the kids can't burn themselves or the rest of the house and it heats up the room really good. I want one for every room now. Hubby just rolled his eyes when I said that. Oh well. After that, I crashed.

Not real eventful, but very busy. The kids looked great in there new clothes and that's really all that matters. Just ask Toot, she'll tell ya. OH YA, speaking of Toot talking. When we stopped to get supper, Toot was hanging out the window of our truck and starting chatting with the people that pulled up next to us. Some how she talked the man into teaching her to ride horses on the weekends. He has his own arena and horses and said he'd love to teach her and Smiley for FREE! Hubby was excited because he really doesn't want to own horses again but would love for them to learn to ride. Only Toot could pull all that off in 5 minutes with people she has NEVER met. Hubby knows them, it's a small town.

That's about all that happened in my little world.

I want to say thanks to Lazy Crazy Mama
