MLK Day

On Martin Luther King Day we meet Randy's whole extended family for breakfast at Cracker Barrel at 7:00 in the morning for breakfast. Randy had to work this night and so he meet us there. Which left me in charge of getting the boys ready. I am not a morning person. It was a struggle for me to get out of bed. But we did and left to head over there. Because I am not a morning person. I have not seen the fog in the mornings. I hate driving when you can't see. I drove 50 mph the whole way there, hoping to make it safe. Luckily everyone made it safe. We haven't eaten there in years and what I order was so good. Pancakes with peach topping and it came with sausage and eggs. For the price you pay you get tons of food. It is nice to do something new as a family. We usually just meet at someones house. This was nice because we didn't have to make it or clean it up. They said they want to start this as a new tradition. I think that would be fun.

After breakfast we were walking out and noticed for cool the trees looked. The frost was so neat.








Then Randy headed home for a nap and the I and a couple of his sisters went back to his parents house, to help with some projects.

Carie and I put the China back in the China Cabinet and then we work on the catch all room, which is supposed to be an office. I didn't think about taking pictures before we started, but did take after pictures. You could not even walk in to the room There were box and papers all over the floor. So we went thought some of the boxes which were mostly empty and put the contents away or added them to a different box. Most of the items in the boxes were old bills and receipts. We but them in a box that his dad could go through when he had time. We took all the books that wasn't scouting, nursing or how to books out and removed on books self into the living room. We moved the beach that is supposed to outside over by the book self. I was in front of the T.V cabinet that was not holding anything but a few boxes. The T.V in the room was sitting on the floor and so we put it in the cabinet and then cleaned and organized the closet. It took us all day but now everything is organized expect for the paper work and now you can walk in the room. That was our service project for MLK Day.

Dinner and Game Night

Last Saturday we invited Randy's sister Carie and her husband Kevin over for dinner and games. We made Banana Carmel Chocolate Crepes and Eggs and Bacon. It was so good. Then we played games. The boys love to play games so we played BANG. This is a card game that the boys understand how to play. Then we played ROOK. Which Randy and I and the boys have never played before. We had so much fun. Thanks Carie and Kevin for a great night of fun.
