Four day weekends should be mandatory!

My husband thought it would be nice to take a day off this weekend to give us a four day weekend of fun family time. I am ever so thankful for it! We had a blast.

On Thursday we all went fishing at Pomme De Tarre Lake. It was too windy to catch anything really but we so enjoyed the relaxed family time.

-did I mention I have a 12 year old that eats like MORE than his dad does. It was like they we in an eating contest at lunch! I think they had 5 hot dogs each, plus chips, plus fruit!

-A nice moment came up to teach my youngest about patients while fishing it was a great time to speak to him about how the Lord desires patients. Ty is a good kid, he kept looking at me, "has that been long enough?"...lol it was funny he had no patients to be patient.

Then Friday I went to the SHEM homeschool conference in Springfield MO. I absolutely LOVE going to the conferences! I hung out with a close girlfriend of mine and we had a blast being our goofy selves...and spent loads too much on yummy homeschool books and stuff!

-I got Devin (and all 10 future children) These Great CD's on American History...I so wish I had these CD's growing up, I would have easily been a history buff!

-I also got him Math-U-See. I am just bored with Saxon and because of it's public school tendencies I just wanted it out of my house.

Saturday was a day to go to some 'tag sales' (that is Martha Stewart for 'yard sales') and get us some booty to help prepare for 'change' (That is obama for 'change'). If things get bad enough and people get homeless we want enough provisions for them to stay with us, if God so desires.

-I got a fabulous Cuisinart ice cream machine that I have been wanting for like EVER!

Then on Sunday it was Ty's Birthday. It was such a wonderful day! Ty got all he asked for (thanks to great yard sale deals!) He was so happy to get these items. Now I will help him pick out just as many items (if not many more) to donate to those in need, he loves giving to the kids 'who don't have any toys' as he likes to say.

Then on Monday I sat my fat butt in my office chair and did nothing like ALL DAY-except facebook!!~ A four day weekend is fun but tiring!

Love,
Faith

Apr. 28, 2009 - Oh yes , 4 days of pure FUN.

Posted by Your Mom

Yes I believe we should all get those 4 days more often then what we do . That & about 4 weeks vacation a year would be nice. But I only get 2 weeks for now . I'm working on my 3 weeks in a couple of years. That will be nice. On occasion we may get a 3 day weekend but not 4 so much cause of the business we are in. It's hard for them to let us go for too long. Well I'm glad yall got to enjoy the time yall had together it's nice. Lee & I have been together everyday so far while I'm on my vacation. And we are doing pretty good. I pray it stays that way. I'm hoping we don't kill each other before it's over.lol He has been real nice I must say. We Love Yall, Always try to have loads of fun Whenever you can , Mom -Grandma Caldwell . P.S. I'm glad Ty had a great birthday. Love .

Your last sentence - well the one about sitting all day - is what I've done this week! Being on a business trip with hubby is nice (we're not apart) - yet boring and absolutely no exercise. Add eating out for four nights (and days) and I've had to gain weight!
By the way - I love what you said about Saxon and the passion in your choice of words about getting it out of your house. That just made me go - YEAH!

hope you've been feeling ok
