We have sleepovers for PK once or twice a year.\u00a0Friday night was\u00a0one of those nights. Usually we have about 5 girls and 5 boys –\u00a0tonight we had\u00a01 girl and 2 boys.\u00a0Thursday night\u00a0I didn’t get much sleep b\/c the street sweeper in Mansfield comes by our house at 4:00 AM in the middle of the month and\u00a0Thursday night was\u00a0THE night. So I had been up since 4 and worked 7 to 5 and then picked the kids up at 6. We took the 2 we had at the moment out to Papa V’s for pizza and wings. We brought back pizza for the one who was at soccer practice till later. We came back to the house and played Rock Band and I helped *H* with some bead necklaces. We had plans to go outside and play capture the flag but since we had 3 kids – we scratched that.<\/p>\n

PM was bringing some RAY kids to crash the party and silly string us – but since we weren’t outside – it wasn’t nearly the right atmosphere.\u00a0But it still HAD to happen so\u00a0she silly stringed us in the house – and then brought ice cream to make up for it. We ate ice cream and watched Phelps win another gold – barely. We put *H* upstairs in the spare room with the boys sleeping downstairs in their sleeping bags – or so I thought. When I came down in the morning – the boys were each sleeping in a chair – in what I thought was not a comfortable position – but I forget that they are kids and nothing much phases them. I ran to Wal*Mart to pick up breakfast – tractor wheels – MMM good. The kids were all out by 10 and Jared and I were on the road to Ithaca to celebrate KT’s graduation from college – (for those of you who don’t know – KT is a friend who is attending MU and she lived with us for the fall semester last year – 2007).<\/p>\n

We had been to\u00a0her house before but at least 2 years ago or more – and neither of us drove that time so we weren’t too sure where we were going – although we had directions. The drive to someplace you haven’t been to is always longer than the drive back from that place. We got there at 1 and stayed till 4. It was nice to meet all her family and friends. I took some family photos while I was there with my new camera.<\/p>\n

Thanks again KT for having us.<\/p>\n

I LOVE my new camera.<\/p>\n

Then Jared and I went to Ritz to buy a new memory card for me – 4G – double YAY – and we stopped at Kohl’s to shop a little – but I still cannot find any non-jean pants that are long enough for me and nice enough to wear to weddings. We went on a date to the Outback – Jared’s favorite restaurant and had one of the worst onions EVER. We got back to Mnsfld and\u00a0PM came over to watch Phelps win his last gold.<\/p>\n

Sunday we went to church – went to PM’s for lunch –<\/p>\n

– and then came home to chill and try to back up some of my pictures on DVD – which doesn’t work on my computer and makes me very mad – but at least Jared can do it from his machine. We met Laura and Krista for ice cream to say goodbye to Laura before she leaves for college again – last year was the summer of Laura but this year we only got to see\u00a0a handful of times\u00a0– not only does the weekend fly by but this summer sped by at record speed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
