What a Weekend!

We made it through the weekend! Saturday morning the guys left at 11:15. That would include Dh, Drum, Dime, Duke, and 3 friends. They dropped Duke off at a friend's and picked up another guy. Then they headed to the CAP volleyball tournament. It was nice to get all those excited guys out of the house. :-)

I visited with a friend who had dropped off her son, and then cleaned up and headed to town. Deer and I went to the grocery store and then picked up her friend. As soon as we got home, Dot took Dessert and Darling to Papa and Grandma's house to visit their cousins. She picked up her teenage cousin and came home. Her friend arrived, and then my nephew and I loaded up all the sloppy joe mix we had been given for the Lock-In, plus a ton of other stuff, and headed to town the other direction.

We got there, and I grabbed a very, very heavy pan of sloppy joes. I carried it in a huge circle inside the college. I couldn't remember how to get to the right place!! Dh showed up and said we driving it around the back. PTL!!

We helped set up the food tables, and then I helped with registration, then helped with food serving (we had a great crew this year, and the leader was awesome at organizing us and the food), then we made sure all our registration numbers were correct. I headed out about 9:45 to pick up Dessert and Darling. They weren't exactly on the way home, so it took a bit. We got home about 11:15. I tucked them in, saw that the girl's and their friends were doing fine, and read for awhile in the peace and quiet.

The guys got in about 6 am. They all hit the hay exhausted. The past years, they have all wanted to go to church despite how much sleep they received. But this year, I couldn't get any up to go. They must have not had any naps during movies. So, the girls and I went. Dot sold jam after church and helped raise some money for her mission trip to Haiti. After lunch, the boys and their cousin headed outside. The snowboarding hill is melting, but they still got a few runs.

Dh got up in time to get ready to take the older ones to see the Skit Guys. Dh was driving and they had to be to church by 4:15. Drum, Dime, and Deer went. Dot stayed home, which was nice. We got a chance to visit a bit. My brother picked up my nephew and hung out a bit. Nice to catch up a little.

I played a lot of Farkle with Dessert, he soaked up the Mommy time. Darling played nice beside us. I made tapioca pudding for Darling (she loves it!) and then Papa and Gramma stopped down to get some and we taught Papa how to play. Darling and Gramma hung out with books and coloring crayons. Dh and the kids got home about 10:30 or so. It was nice to hit the hay!! I think it'll take a few days for everyone to catch up on their sleep. Just another weekend. :-)
