The kids are feeling better so they left for grandpa's house on Friday. We decided to rent 2 movies, the new Rambo and Untraceable. Those were the stupidest movies. They were sick, twisted and something I just don't care to see anymore. I guess I'm just getting to old for all those killing movies.
Saturday was busy. I woke up in a cleaning mood. Cleaned the 2 upstair bathrooms, swept and mopped everything that didn't have carpet and picked up. I was bored and waiting for Kristin to get here so we could go on the garden tour. She finally arrived at 11 so off we went to the first house. The garden tour was definitely interesting. I learned alot and was able to get the names of the plants I have growing in my front yard. We stopped by Subway for lunch then visited 2 more gardens before Kristin had to head home. Larry was at the fire dept. so I decided to go to the garden party that started at 3. I couldn't believe this garden that belonged to the hosts of the party. Their whole back yard was beautiful with rocks, flowers, trees, benches, trellises, veggies, waterfalls and pond. It was great to walk through it. I want my back yard like that.
Larry and I finally ended up at home around the same time and decided to go to Chilies for dinner. It was gooooood. I got the usual Buffalo Chicken Salad. After dinner we went to Lowes because I was itchin to find some plants that I saw on the garden tour. Lowes had all kinds of clearance/distressed plants that I got for a dollar or two. They were great bargains. I was so excited.
Courtney got her car on the road with new tires and oil change. She drove it to work and for some reason it's overheating. It shut down on her way home. And instead of sitting there with her car she called her friend to pick her up. She would wait out the car cooling off at their house. Well, at 1 am I get a phone call from Springs police telling me that a car registered in my name is sitting in the road. He said it needs to be moved or he will have to call a towing company. I told him it was my daughter's car and that I would call her to come get it. It took 3 calls for her to finally answer. BRAT! She almost lost her car. Today she found out that it's got a crack block or head and will cost $1500 to find out for sure. She's now on the hunt for another car.
Sunday was the fire dept. family picnic. Larry made is "famous" and "popular" potatoes salad. They roasted a pig and everyone brought side dishes. It was a good time. Everyone was actually nice with little complaining.
After the picnic we dropped off Kerry's hottub that was on our trailer. He ended up giving us a game table with foosball, pool, air hockey, ping pong and so much more. That was an awesome gift. The kids love it.
After Kerry's house we headed to Calhan to buy some fencing stuff I found on Craigslist. It was a long ride out in the middle of nowhere. But worth it. She was selling the wooden posts, t post and wire real cheap.
Grandpa brought the kids home about 7. Lacey had thrown up at his house earlier but she seemed ok. When we got home she had a 102 fever. First thing we thought was strep since the other 2 had it a week ago. I called the doctor Monday morning.
