Didja miss me?? I thought so. Seems like I haven't blogged for, well, a week or something. So much for keeping up with the blog. Life continues to interfere with my blogging time.
Our Independence Day weekend was crazy. We had Friday off of work and we spent some of it doing household junk like cleaning and mowing the lawn and then we spent the late afternoon/evening with my mom celebrating her 50th birthday. Fun times. We had some drinks, some pizza and the most awesomest cake ever...the Reese's Cake from Ritter's. YUMMY! I also had a Grasshopper Greeting put up in her yard. It said "50 Bloomin' Years" and had lots of flowers all around it. Now EVERYONE knows she's 50. We made up for it by putting a 3 and a 9 on her cake. :)
On the 4th, we went back to my mom's for grilling and drinking. There was a bounce house, but the rain ruined that. We spent the majority of the day in the garage playing makeshift games to keep the kids busy. We had a good time, but it would've been much better had the weather cooperated. My friend Michelle and her husband Jake and kid Sam joined us...and then Sam couldn't even bounce!! I think they still had an okay time despite the crappy weather. We enjoyed seeing them!! By the end of the day, Jayna was pooped even though she took a nap. She slept through all of the fireworks that night and even slept in a little Sunday morning.
Sunday we hung out at the homestead and then went to a birthday party in the afternoon. Colton turned 2 and we went to help him celebrate. Ben and Elise did a fine job with the party even though they kept saying it was their first time having a kid party. We had a good time watching the other kids play in the water and we also enjoyed talking to grown-ups that we don't see very often. It makes us realize that we need to see our friends more.
And now it's Wednesday and we've been back to the daily grind for 3 days now. Yuck. It seriously will never end. I'm tired and cranky and the rednecks in my neighborhood seem to have lost track of the days and seem to still think that it's the 4th of July. Fireworks are the devil's work, I tell ya.
Jayna has been Ms. Crankypants for the past couple of days. She's also been EXTRA hungry and is just crazy. She cries when you set her down on the floor but then pushes and kicks you when you hold her. She seriously has NO IDEA what she wants right now. I think she's still getting some molars in and that's bothering her. She's been snotty and drooly like no other this week. It's sooo fun. I know you wish you were me. :)
I'm excited to watch the new episode of The Cleaner tonight. It was actually on last night, but my lazy ass was already asleep by that time! DVR is wonderful.
Hope you all had a wonderful holiday!!

Just so you know-we had a great time. It was fun because it was low key and relaxed. I think Sam had the most fun of all-because of the rain. Thanks for inviting us!
