Jimmy took all the kids to Seven Peaks so I could stay home and ‘rest.’ Very nice. Hannah asked if I wanted her to stay home and help. I reassured her that I enjoyed having some quiet alone time. So, we’ve got a few options of how to spend time this morning:Not that I live […]
Today was the Last Snow Cone Sale Day of the summer. We only did it 4 or 5 times . . . much less frequent than last summer. This mama is getting tired near the end of this pregnancy! Oh wait, I think I’m always tired. But we were trying to get as close as […]
