Saturday August 22

Big things happened for Dad today!

He got offered the truck, and took it!

The best part is, it is truck 7.

That is the station that he has been at for years and years so he is with the same guys still.

And he is so happy and excited about it :)

I am so happy too.

He looks pretty good as a truckie!

I took Port and Cassi with me this morning for Port to do the last of the Avengers series projects at Lowes.

Yay, we got them all done!

Then I dropped them off at home for them to clean their rooms.

We have some overdue books, like a week and a half late :(

So I ran those back and went to the bank as well to get some cash to pay the girlies for the work they were gonna do today :)

I came home and we had Cannon over and the Edwards boys.

Stacia has been prepping her yard for a wedding reception, and today was the day.

So I think it helped to have Cannon out of the way for a bit :)

I got some lists made for grocery shopping.....

But I didn't end up going until about 5 once all the boys left.

Madi mowed and Cassi picked weeds.

They also tried to clean up as much as they could around the deck.

It is still hard when there isn't the right place to put things yet :(

But they were good helpers.

So I did my grocery shopping so they would have actual food for school lunches :)

The kiddos all helped me unload and put everything away.....again in places that they don't really belong yet!

But we will get there.

While I made them dinner (mac and cheese, whoopee!), they had a ton of fun sliding around the new floors with their socks on.

They thought it was just the greatest!

A few close calls, but no one got hurt, so that's good!

I told them if they bleed on my floors, they would be in trouble ;)
