We had a busy weekend, but it was fun. Yesterday our hayride got rained out so we went shopping instead. I got the materials for my Christmas craft exchange. They will be so awesome when I am finished. I can’t wait. I wrapped Christmas presents and did some light cleaning. Today we went to a luncheon at the fire house. The chicken was awesome, and there were a bunch of us there. The kids were so well behaved it made me so proud of them. We get a lot of flack about the size of our family and the guys tease me about popping out more so it was wonderful for them to sit at the table, eat politely and not fight. We had a really good time. We are planning on doing a Thanksgiving meal as well. I think I may attend that one and go to the family meal in the evening. I really miss the guys at the station and today was a lot of fun! My mom and Charlie came over this afternoon and helped me fix some things in the house and take the last air conditioners out of the windows. Now I won’t be pumping the heat to the outside at night. Orren and Charlie played with the trains all afternoon. It was so cute. They stayed for dinner too. I wish I could talk to Eric, but I assume he is out in the field and really busy. I missed his call Thursday evening and I left him a message yesterday, but haven’t heard from him. I miss him so much and I just love to get a phone call from him. I did get a call from the 2-112th FRG which surprised me. They are planning a Christmas party and dinner and it shocked me that I got a call after 3 years. Too funny. I think we might attend as long as it falls in with our other plans.
Boy are the dogs wound up tonight. I keep having to correct them and they just will not stop roughhousing. Goofy dogs. I think I am going to watch some tv with the kids before they go to bed. It is a nice time to relax a little.
