Blast From The Crazy Past: Busy Happy Weekend 2009

Step back in time to January 2009 with me:


It has been a wonderful, happy and busy weekend so far.


Last night was Shelby's 9th birthday party. She was such a happy critter! It was funny, all day long she was a chatter-box about her birthday. Then when people started getting here, she clammed up and we could hardly get her to say anything. She does that when she gets REALLY happy. It's almost like she sits back and soaks in all the "happy".


Today we went for a drive up in the mountains. Something we have regrettably not done for a year or so. It's our favorite family thing to do, but the way the gas prices were last year we had to give it up and walk places. Then even after the prices went down, we had no money! However, today, we decided it was time to have some fun!


After we got home, we all laid down and rested. Then we got up, tidied the house for Sunday and then we played a new game we had bought for our Video Free month. It was fun! It was Littlest Pet Shop Monopoly. The girls loved moving the little critters around the board. Great for our older two practicing money and the younger two with counting and recognizing numbers. Tony sat in his highchair and chortled happily at us!


God bless your weekend. May you, like me, be blessed to have a family that you can enjoy spending time with!
