Rocking along.....

Another weekend gone, my sweet babies are still vacaying and Dave/I are trying to keep busy. We've realized something along the way.... we are very family friendly in our middle age. Seriously, there is absolutely nothing that we've done with the kids gone that we couldn't have been able to take the kids with. And frankly I'm okay with our boring ass life. lol. We got up early Saturday morning to get the boat water ready. We drove into Dave's shop and the mechanic had finished up the tune up so we washed the boat and did the legwork on cleaning her up a little. We got her to the lake and before she even got off the trailer, we had some mechanical issues (thanks mechanic) so back to the shop we went.
 
We looked at a rental house in the town where Dave works. Country living. OMG seriously, it's 20 miles outside of town (which means 30 miles less of a commute for him) but it's in the middle of nowhere. It needs some tlc and normally we'd be thrilled with the idea but we'd have to replace all the carpets in that place for Duchess and it's just not worth it to move her into a place like that and risk her health. So for now, we stay where we b. Sometimes you're blessing in right in front of you huh? I keep looking for a way to shorten his commute and maybe I'm not suppose to. Dang.
 
Sunday we managed to make church. Then it was fantastic.... see we were old and tired. And since it was seriously sprinkling, we skipped the boat and came tome to nap and then play tootsie. It was fantastic!
 
The kids: well they were as cute as hell. Louisiana has them another 24 hours and then they are off to Texas for the rest of the month. They are racking up the miles!
