Johnny is fishing today. He left at about 4 am and probably won't be home until after 11. I hate these days. On days that he's gone like that I don't even try to get anything accomplished other than to survive! Today the boys and I went to Target to get diapers and pull-ups. Corban had been going for weeks without wetting when he's sleeping, but since our last trip to KY, he's wet after almost every nap and in the morning and the washable pull-up I bought just doesn't stand up to that. Caden is mostly in cloth diapers, but when we travel I like to have disposables. After Target I took the boys to the mall to play in the play area there for a while. I wheeled through JC Penney and didn't buy anything. I did however, buy a couple of pairs of pants at TCP - 4.99 each, we don't have tax on clothes here, and I had a gift card for about 7 bucks. Not a bad deal.
The boys are as wild as ever. In fact, Caden is a crazy boy. He's generally a pretty happy boy, but sometimes he lets loose. Corban has made him mad a few times and he just throws himself at Corban, fists flying. It's honestly pretty funny and Corban handles that better than the does just Caden taking his toys! Corban goes to bed pretty decenlty now and still naps well during the day. I see the end of naps for Corban in our future, but I'm going to hang on to it as long as I can. Caden just gets out of his crib now when he wakes up and opens the door (with a child safety thing on it). The other day I was out on the front stoop doing something and when I got up to come back in the house, Caden was standing at the screen door just looking at me with this sweet grin on his face. Scared me half to death!
We're headed to KY in two days! Mom, Laura, and I are getting pedicures on Friday and Saturday is Marilou's wedding. I bought a new dress for the wedding. I had borrowed a few from Carolyn F., but I saw one I liked at Target and I had birthday money burning a hole in my pocket! :) It's cute, but I can definitely wear it to church/weddings in the future. I had originally wanted something strapless, but I have determined that strapless just does not work for me. Oh well, I don't have the opportunity to wear something like that anyway. I'm seriously half tempted to apply for What Not To Wear. My wardrobe needs a serious overhaul, but I can't afford it and it just won't happen.

Busy, Busy, Busy, and oh yeah... busy!
I was informed the other day that I needed to update my blog. It's been so crazy busy around here lately that I haven't had time to do any of this! We had a Dinner and a Movie night at church a few weekends ago that we opened up for the community. We did lots of advertising and hung door hangers on about 700 houses in the area. We got a few people, but not a huge turn out. I did the nursery and spent a majority of the week before getting ready for that. The next weekend was our revival and I spent the week cooking and cleaning the house plus the normal stuff. The minister was Johnny's minister growing up and Art Bush did a concert every night. I fed the minister and his wife AND we had a time of fellowship after each service Friday and Saturday and a pot-luck on Sunday. So yeah, I spent a lot of time cooking!
Saturday was our birthday, but obviously we didn't have time to celebrate! We're planning to go out on Tuesday to the Texas Roadhouse and to see Iron Man 2. Sunday after church we got Corban all packed up and he went home with Johnny's Mom and Dad who had been here for the revival. He's had a ball and I don't think as asked about us once. We've talked to him a few times, but he's not much for talking on the phone and John and Paulette don't have Skype so we've not been able to see him. We're both missing him so much and glad that we're going there today to get him! Caden has enjoyed being an only child this week, but I think he'll be really glad to have Corban back too. While he was gone I did take the opportunity to finally paint his room. I still don't have the furniture back and or sheets on the bed, so I'm hoping to do that before we leave today. Yesterday Johnny got up on the roof to cut some limbs off a tree, cut down a pine tree in our front yard, and mowed the lawn.
We'll all be headed to KY in two weeks! Mom and Dad will be busy with strawberries so we're planning to get a lot of visiting and "vacationing" done. We're planning to take the boys to the Newport Aquarium, visit some old friends in Flemingsburgh, and visit Sherry, Kerry, and the boys! Plus we've got the wedding and if we're really up for it, we might go to the zoo too!
