Our Weekend

My weekend was spent with friends, eating and scrapbooking. I hosted a overnight scrpabook crop-fest at my house, Friday night until late Saturday night. We had a lot of fun. More food than we would ever need, and we got a lot of scrapbook pages done. I was pleased. Although now I'm tired. My friend Brandi and I were the only brave ones to stay overnight. She finally crashed with her 7 1/2 month son around 3AM, and I hit the sack shortly after around 3:30. A couple more friends came on Saturday, and joined us in our scrapping fun. :) My sister and her family watched our kids. (Thank You!). The kids seemed to have a really good time over there. They were awfully excited to be spending the night over there. The kids were dragging their suitcases all over the house on Friday. lol. And there were no tears when I left, so that made it easier. My husband was even able to get in a little R&R, since the kids were gone. So what did he do? He took a nap at 8:00 at night, and woke up around 10 or 11, and ate some of our food and watched a couple movies until almost 4 in the morning. Silly hubby!

On Saturday, he went over to my parents house, who.........is getting a pool!!! :) I'm so excited. If you've read my blogs for any amount of time, you know I love swimming, and would love to have my own pool at my house (instead of sharing it with a million other people at our neighborhood pool). However, our HOA restricts above ground pools...... in-ground only. Well, not a problem.........if only we had 20 grand to do it! So, after much discussion and persuasian, I have finally talked my dad into getting a pool. He has the perfect land for it..... 3 1/2 acres, tons of yard, and NO HOA rules! So Saturday they dug the hole, and today the installer guys came and set it up, and it is filling as we speak, er, type. I'm pumped! I'm ready! The kids will absolutely love it. Lilly has allready talked about wanting to go swimming at Me Ma and Pa Pa's house. In fact, we took the kids over there one night last week to visit, and Lilly packed her swimsuit and sunscreen and took over there- she was ready! (she's heard us talking about it apparently). The pool has come just in time--- looks like a HOT week here in KC. The water might be chilly at first, but it'll warm quickly. Swimming at my parents house this week..........anyone want to join us?? ;)
