That was a busy weekend!

I'll start with Friday. I went and got groceries at Meijer and Costco in the morning with Caleb, Daniel and Kimberly. I left Lucas with Grandpa and Grandma B, so things would go a little better in the store. We picked him up when we were done, and left Caleb there at Grandpa's request for the afternoon. After lunch, Lucas and Kimberly went down for naps, so I started on the 25ish pounds of strawberries I had picked on Thursday. Daniel helped take the tops off and we made a triple batch of jam. By then it was time to start supper, so finishing up had to wait. I did some mashed strawberries for ice cream and froze a bunch whole after supper, finishing up around 9. By then my feet were sore from being on them all day, so as soon as all the kids were sleeping, and the storms had blown over, I also went to bed.

Saturday consisted of getting dishes and some other cleaning done, as well as chasing boys again. After lunch the boys were allowed to play outside for a few minutes, but then baths had to start. We had a wedding to be at at 4, and it was over an hour away. We made it just before everyone started walking down the aisle. Whew! The kids did really well! They were quiet during the ceremony, sat good at the reception, and we were not chasing them and getting flustered by any bad behavior. :) They really surprised us.

Sunday was a weird day. All of us had a stomach bug of some sort, so Peter only had Daniel and Lucas at church in the AM. By 5PM, I was feeling better, so I took Lucas at night. Caleb seemed to have it the worst, and he and Daniel were still sleeping when we left for church. Sunday night went ok, considering how late Caleb and Daniel slept. We had to bring them back to bed a couple times, but I think Caleb is starting to get a little better. Highlight of Sunday- Lucas had NO accidents ALL DAY!!!!!

Yesterday was the usual Monday. The boys were into everything and not too cooperative. I did manage to get a few loads of laundry hung out, but Caleb and Daniel pulled some down, so they didn't get dry all the way. (not to mention the ants that were all over them) So, they're hanging up again.

Today I hope to finish up with laundry and get some more house work done. My shower needs a good scrubbing, as do the bathroom and kitchen floors. So, until next time, good day!
