Whew... did you miss me???


I tell you, it's been a busy few days. Thurs, Aunt Christi came over and Jeff and I had our first date in a long time. We didn't have a lot of time, so we just went to the chocolate moose here in town, which might I add... is ALWAYS worth the visit. Then, Friday, we were off to Riley again. Not a bad visit, however, both kids obtained a new medication... if you haven't been over to see my med lists on the refrigerator... it's worth the attraction! Then, we made a breif stop at the children's museum... (let me tell you, all the Indy trips we make... it's well worth the memberships every where! we are the family they dread to see come in because we use our membership and then some!) So, after all this, came Saturday. We have tried NUMEROUS times to mow (beginning thurs). First, the mower that was left here by the last family wouldn't start (mind you, we don't have a mower), then we decided to try putting some gas in it (who would have thought???), then we started mowing only to realize... hmm... it doesn't shut off! So, we went back to the handy dandy way of plucking the spark plug! It got too dark before Jeff could finish, so we tried again yesterday... ONLY the mower died... no more life (and no, this time it didn't need gas)! So, Jeff headed into Muncie today and borrowed his mom's mower... well... it was a trip... there's a lot of grass here! It was tall grass to mind you! We had the entertainment of it dying and we couldn't get it restarted and well... Hmm... the spark plug had come undone... it really was like watching a comedy act today! I'm sorry you all missed it! So, after all that hard work, we took a pretzel break (above picture). Umm... they are Joey's favorite (he was sneaking in some extra carbs today!) Then, as if all this wasn't enough... we came in to find our phone not working! Ug! All the wonderful fun! Jeff was able to at least make it to church with no catastrophic insidences!!! =) So... here's hoping to a peaceful quiet day tomorrow... oh and No, our grass still isn't completely mowed... it's been a day!
