The Best of Both Worlds

      We were supposed to see Joe's band Missin' Time in Fair View this weekend, but as the day went on we wondered wether or not we should be going.  First, it was a bad start to the the day with Elizabeth doing her usual Elizabeth thing...crying...pouting....whining....mamamamamamama!!!  Then poor Kelly had only 2 hours of sleep the night before and was driving herself down.  Not to mention her coat blew out of her window on the way here from her house, and she almost lost the dress she needed to attend a wedding the next day.  WHAT A DAY!!  and it was only 12pm!!!   So the "straw" that did it was Elizabeth's eye had been bothering her from the night before and was super red and irratated. 

     So I called my sister and let her know what was going on and Cynthia said "pink eye" so we decided then and there that there were enough "signs" along the way and Cynthia asked us not to bring her there because its very contagious...so we broke the news to Kelly and turned around and came home...

    Needless to say the kids were really bummed about us not going down, Bradley was looking forward to playing with his new cousins and as he says, his "new grandma" Carol.  Kelly and I took Bradley and Kaila to get some pumpkinds and they had a great time picking out their own...the only rule was "if you can carry it without help you can have it" , Bradley had a hard time passing up some I thought he was going to break his back trying to carry but settled on one I thought was huge!!  We are going to carve them the weekend before Halloween since that is the last time both the kids will be here together. 

     Bradley and Kaila went in the hot tub for awahile, rented a movie and all was forgotten about being upset about not making it down...we have great kids!! 

   Lastly, I  would like to say thank you to my wonderful husband, he wanted to make sure I had a great day because he knew I was dissapointed we didnt go down, I made my grandmother's beef stew and it was fabulous.  I have a wonderful man to say I belong too, he means the world to me...thanks babe!!
