Falling Behind...

I don't usually go back and try to catch up on blog posts.  If I don't get them up right away, they don't get posted.  I blog for fun and when I get behind it becomes stressful...and who needs extra stress?

But...there are a few things I really want to have recorded, and I ate dinner really late tonight so I decided I'd go back a few weeks and play catch-up while I digest.

During the first week of February, my sister and her cute-face kids drove 7 1/2 hours (ish) to spend some time with us.  It was so fun to have them here!  It was also very convenient.  With Charlotte there, I was able to drive my kids to and from scouts, 4-H, and basketball without loading the baby in and out of the car all week. 

Sam was a big help during chore time.  He helped haul wood every day.  One of my favorite moments was when he asked, "Do these people have a TV?"  (We have a projector in the basement now so we watch our shows on the wall).

I love Livi's face here!  She loves to peel things.  I wish I'd given her that thick-skinned pumelo that I got from Bountiful Baskets!

Char and I played "Mom" during the day, and then stayed up way too late working on digital scrapbooking, and talking.  Oh, how I wish we didn't live so far apart.

Thanks, Char, for making the long trek to our house.  We loved having you here.  I wish the weather had been better...you'll really have to come again in late summer.

I'm glad I was able to come. We had a fun time.
