WHEW!

I'm trying to get back into the swing of things. CJ's mom and dad were here for a week and we had an AWESOME visit. I didn't log onto the computer one time while they were here (obviously). We visited, played cards/games, hung out - it was so nice. I really wasn't ready for them to leave but I guess we all have to get back to life sometime.

Saturday night we had our second SS exchange and it was great. I love getting to visit with everyone and my gifts were great. I got some flowers for our flower bed (which by the way I'm procrastinating to plant because they smell so good sitting on my kitchen counter!) and some seeds for our garden. Thanks Nuna!!

Sunday CJ, the kids and I just chilled. We went to the grocery as a whole family - which we never do. To Sam's, Walmart, and home - 3 1/2 hours - CJ said "how can we have been gone that long?" I replied "Welcome to my world!" We had a great day. Watched football, ate, took naps. Relaxed.

Now it's monday and CJ's back to work, the kids are playing nicely and I'm trying to clean my house. I'm hosting POKENO at my house tomorrow night - 24 people. I'm baking a pan of regular lasagna, a pan of vegetable lasagna, french bread and for dessert - brownies and pumpkin torte (yellow cake mix with pumpkin & spices, layered with french vanilla whipped topping, pecans, and caramel ice cream topping - YUM!). Needless to say I'll be cooking most of the day tomorrow, so the cleaning must be done today.

That's all for now - Peace. haha
