Time At Home Running Out

As Memorial Day is here, our time at home is winding down - and we find ourselves 'cramming' all we can into these last few days.

Since I last 'blogged' - Wes & Nick have headed to Virginia for a three week visit with the Quisenberry side of the family. Hunter finished up her time at Barnes Elementary by performing in the annual talent show.

Friday found Hunter and Grandma Twylah headed to the mall for some early birthday shopping. Getting to spend time one-on-one with the grandkids is my favorite thing. You learn so much about them when you just listen to their non-stop chatter. Although we bought some 'necessary' stuff, we also took time for her to try on several outfits at the American Eagle store - where she found 'the' outfit (a bright orange polo and hot pink 'roll-up' sweats). One of my cardinal rules when I go shopping with Hunter is letting her make the decision (as long as it is 'decent'). That's all part of growing up - and I love the 'fashion' show I always get as she tries on different 'looks'.

Later that evening everyone showed up for supper - and I then got to spend the rest of my evening sitting outside watching Hayden. He is our 'outdoor' boy - and he is happy - as long as he is outside. Last night he discovered cousin Nick's "Green Machine" and spent the entire time riding it and pushing it. He is definitely going to be our 'mechanic' - as he is utterly fascinated with anything that has wheels. It's amazing to watch his mind work. Just in the 2 weeks we've been home - we have seen him change. Seems like each day he has mastered a new 'skill'. Wish we could 'freeze' him at this sweet, innocent age.

A good day - and then I woke up this morning! Felt like I had been run over by a Mack truck! Thankfully today (Saturday) has been a quiet day for me. Spent most of it making up a batch of 'lumpia' that the big boys had requested. Just sent Shelly home with a bag full for Randy, and will cook up a batch for Russ & Roger this evening.
