Major update!!!!! Sorry

So, it's been a week since I have blogged. Right now I am sitting at my mom's typing on her new laptop! It is cool and I think I may be a Mac fan now! Danica is playing with her stuffed kitties and trying to play with Abby, my mom's sheltie. Troy is playing a game on his DS. If you haven't figured it out, we're in PA at my mom's. But let's go back...

On Thursday (of last week) Troy and Danica went with Kendal to see Open Season wile I was poisoned with a radioactive substance and put through hours of painful testing. Just kidding! Danica and Troy did go with Kendal to see Open Season at the weekly Family Film Festival. They had a great time. After the movie, they went to the Walmart near Kendal to the arcade, then to Kendal's house to see the Turtle that has taken up residence in her pool. They were surprised by an unexpected visitor (Kendal's husband) when they were looking at the turtle. They got home and we all went to Cracker Barrel for lunch. As for my part, it definitely wasn't as bad as I wrote. I was given a shot of a radioactive material which adheres to the bone and shows up on a bone scan, which is a multi-layered x-ray. I was told to wait 3 hours and then we'd do the scan. I did a lot of reading and did go to the bookstore to get Richard's Father's day gift.

Friday, we were supposed to go to Alabama Adventure again, but the kids were tattling and fighting with each other so, after many chances, I told them we were not going to go. They spent the day playing outside with the neighbor kids. They still had fun and I got work done and actually watched TV a little. In the evening, we went to get ice cream at Dairy Cream. Danica dropped her on the floor of the van after I told her not to take the lid off of it. Oh well, it cleaned up pretty easily and that's not the first or last thing to fall on the floor of the van.

Saturday, we all (Richard included) went down to the Cahaba River. Water and kids, the perfect combination for fun. I tried to teach Troy how to skip rocks, but he hasn't figured it out quite yet. We looked for fish and cray fish, or crawdads for you southern folk. I found 2 very small ones ones and let both Troy and Danica hold them. The consensus was that they were ugly. Even after telling the kids, "don't get too wet", Danica had to be completely changed to ride home. Troy should have been also, but we didn't bring extra clothes for him. I asked Danica how she got her shirt wet, she demonstrated by stooping down until the water was up to her neck. Richard asked her if her panties were wet. She responded by saying "no" which is her usual response to that question.

We celebrated Father's Day on SUnday. I know it was a week early, but we're in PA so we won't be able to celebrate on the 20th. After church, we got Pizza and rented Avatar from pay per view. We didn't realize that we'd have it until July 11th. I am so excited that I'll get to watch it again. It was a great movie. We played games and just hung out for the rest of the day.

Monday, I did laundry, cleaned and packed for our trip. I also got the little, black boot since the bone scan determined that I have a stress fracture in my foot. It makes me limp more than I did when without it. Oh well. We had dinner at Applebees and then worked on my IPod. I couldn't get it to sync. The problem ended up that I was using the wrong cord. Oh well, live and learn.

Tuesday, we drove and drove and drove and drove...you get the picture. We left at 2:30 a.m. and got to PA at 5:30 p.m. I did have to take 2 naps along the way. I got less than 3 hours sleep on Monday night, so it was inevitable.

Today, we went SHOPPING! I got Troy school clothes. I know, school already, but there is no sales tax on clothes up here. I got Danica a few shirts and a dress. We also bought shoes for the kids. Lunch at Olive Garden was also wonderful.

Tomorrow, we're going to Pap Pap and Gram's. Wonder what we'll get to do there?
