It was an awful week- a client let me know she thought her car was keyed while here at the house/studio; Evan whined constantly; Ben was awful at school, on the bus, and at home; my consultant let me know she was quitting; Evan removed his diaper, tee-teed on the floor, and played around in the mess; the rain ruined some plans; Evan tracked Sophie’s poop through the house after he stepped in it in the backyard. Plus more! I swear, this week was the perfect 
storm for a mental breakdown or a great TV comedy.
But the weekend was wonderful…
We left Saturday to head to Orange Grove for my cousin Lora’s wedding. Short and sweet ceremony, we were then off to the reception. I was thrilled to finally take my boys to the Rifle Club. And they enjoyed it just as much as I thought they would. They ran around the dance floor, playing with the other kids. We ate. We got to visit with family we hadn’t seen in years. Ben got to participate in his first grand march. 
It was so much fun! Then we drove out to the Pioneer RV Resort in Port A for a much-
needed vacation!
Sunday we hit the beach with my parents. We built a sandcastle, played in the water, walked the shoreline, and looked for treasures. Our “finds” included the usual seashells, but we also caught shrimp, crabs, sea slugs, and even a rock fish! Incredible! After lunch and nap, we then headed to the pool for some fun in the water. And then (thanks to Granmom and Papa), Nathan and I got to go out for dinner by ourselves!!! (the fried shrimp at Charlotte Plummer’s were fabulous… all ten of them!!!)
We kept the vacation going today with beach and pool time in the morning. Then we headed to my grandparents’. We got to visit with them and Angie, and the boys got to drive around their property, enjoying the mule and checking out all the corn fields.

I’ll tell Mom HI for ya, Lori.
I had been watching your troubled posts on facebook, quietly praying for you and your family. So I’m so glad to hear you had such a wonderful weekend surrounded by your loved ones. May you have a blessed week.
Tell those boys to be good this week!
