Sunday Night Summary

Is it bed time yet?
We haven't slowed down since Friday at 4pm. After Brookelynn got all packed up for the sleepover at Jalyn's, we dropped her off and headed to White County. Devin decided to help Darlene watch Jett at Stacia's for a little while. We were trying to get back home by 6:30 but was just a few minutes late. Our double daters were waiting. I quickly got ready and then we were off to a night on the town. Plans changed from CHAR to Spankies since CHAR was having some type of "songwriters" something; then plans changed from Spankies to Outback Steakhouse since Spankies had a 25 minute wait and we were all starving. After dinner we came back to our house and hung out on the patio till 2am just talking and reminiscing about being kids and growing up.  M & M had some pretty funny stories about dating, married life and their girls.
We have a lot in common with M & M. From their "who is a better driver" conflict,  right down to "Vacation Meltdowns"...we can relate to them so well.

Oh yeah...how could I forget. Around 1am we had a visitor...a real life fox was taking a stroll through our neighbors yard. He hung around for about 15 minutes or so before moving on. He would even occasionally stop and look at us as if to say "what are you guys doing out this time of night?"  We sure had a good time. Maybe next year on our one night without the kids we can do it again. Better yet, maybe we can get together one of the other 355 days of the year and have "family date night".
Saturday, we were up by 7am...I have no idea why we jumped up so early being as we didn't get into the bed until 3:00. I tried to talk some sense into Stroker to not bother washing the truck, but he is one of those people that feels they have to be busy (and have to have everything clean) all of the time.  Anywho...25 minutes later, he was outside with a soapy rag in one hand, water hose in the other...bent over throwing up everything he ingested from the night before. Lesson Learned!
After he was feeling a bit better, we made our rounds collecting our kids. We hung out at Jalyn's house for almost 2 hours talking to her parents. Afterwords, Brookelynn and I hit a few stores to do a little shopping before loading the guys back up and heading up to the family reunion cookout.

Guess what else happened Saturday. The county fair pageant...and guess who won the county fair 2010 Tiny Tot pageant...My great niece Matasia

Isn't she just beautiful?

Sunday, we visited my moms for a couple of hours. She has been wanting a couple of bushes trimmed and I must have still been delirious from my lack of rest because I got her limb cutters and took into pruning those 12' bushtrees (as I like to call them). By the time I got 2 of them done, I felt like Stroker on Saturday morning. I had to come home, take another shower and get ready all over again before heading to the family reunion dinner.
