Put Me In Coach!

Logan was all about playing basketball at Grandma's. Daddy couldn't believe his form, and that he was shooting jump shots. He's already shooting like a pro! He even shot it over the much taller defender.

My Best Friend

How much do I miss her? On Saturday, I got up at 7am, to drive 45 minutes to go to Jazzercise for the 5th time last week, just to see her! For a few hours, two halves of a brain were reunited. Girl's got needs for her best friend!

(Almost 24 wks pregnant)

There were 5 in the bed and the pregnant one said.....

WILL THEY EVER GET THE POWER BACK ON?!? We had a slumber party at Grandma's on Saturday night. Not as glamorous as it sounds. We were sitting at the kitchen table around 7pm, dragging out leftovers for dinner. All of a sudden, there was a loud explosion and the power went out. Oops. Papa called the power company and they sent someone out. No problem, the lights were back on across the street....but not in our house. So the guy went around to the back of my parents' house (my dad followed) and guess what: "We should be able to have the power back on by midnight. I need help to replace the bad transformer." Ugghh.

So Papa brought out his generator (he bought it for Hurricane Rita) and we had light and a fan in the kitchen. I gave the boys a bath by candlelight. Then they kept asking to go to bed. Does that ever happen? Grandma and Papa threaded the extension cords through the fireplace and plugged in two fans in the living room. It was time for a slumber party.

The boys did finally fall asleep, about where you see thme in the picture, with their animals (Zoo and Lambie). It didn't leave much room for pregnant mommy and her giant body pillow. Grandma and Papa hit the floor.

Needless to say, midnight came and went with no power. At about 1:30am, I got up to go to the bathroom, for the 3rd time, and noticed headlights on the street. The power guy was back. Papa went out to talk to him. We could see flashlights and people walking in the backyard behind ours. They were installing a new transformer. The power should be back on in 45 minutes. We could only hope. I was laying there thinking, well at least I have something to blog about now. I was dreaiming up post titles: And in the 7th hour, let there be light! About that time, 2:30am, the lights came back on. I slowly carried all things, including kids back upstairs to the bedroom, so we could all sleep in a little and not be up at the first sign of daylight. What a night! Bring on the coffee!

And Papa, gas up the generator, there's a Tropical Storm headed your way......

There are some things a pregnant woman shouldn't do....

Like try to spray out the big, giant trash can with Lyscol and water to try and make the garage smell somewhat bearable again. But if I didn't try to do it, it wouldn't get done. Good thing breakfast was only 2 pieces of toast, and I Jazzercised for an hour since then.

A Wiggly Party!

A Blog-Worthy Weekend

Well, the boys and I have returned from our weekend in H-town. There was so much to do to get ready for the week, that now that I'm ready to blog, I need to go to bed. So it will have to wait for tomorrow. I'll leave a few pics until then.....
