my friend chelley and her sweet kids came for a visit this past week. i was certain the chaos would be enough to send us to drinkin' - well ok maybe not since chelley's pregnant - but you get the point. we had the BEST week. it was so much fun having her around here. we are just so in tune, we can sit in silence and be ok with it or blabber on and on about nothing and everything. i love her dearly. we spent our days tending the kids, swimming, going to chuck e cheese, the park, the museum, etc. and at night, after the kids were all tucked in and sound asleep we enjoyed girlie time, we ate sweets and watched lifetime movies. a few nights we went out for dessert and to just loaf around town, then came home for our movies and more junk food. and the chaos, truly, was no more than usual - AMAZING huh? the kids really did get along just great, and i love her kids so much, especially Jillian, poor kid was the only girl in six kids, but she didn't miss a beat. we laughed tons, especially about poptarts since that seemed to be the only thing anyone requested to eat - but we didn't fold, we did feed them veggies once. they just left a few hours ago and i miss them all like crazy already! here are some pics, enjoy!

today i'm leaving....
my kids with a 16 year old sitter..... i have to admit, i'm a little nervous. but chris and rachael are both nearby and the teacher next door is home and the cop across the street is home, so hopefully all will be fine. she's super sweet and so far is very responsible. her mom was zach's teacher that he loves so much, Mrs. Patty, from sunshine house. anyway, we'll see. if all goes well i may be supplying her with plenty of school clothes money over the next few weeks. i am going to atlanta to meet with the corporate recruiter for a major georgia broker. i'm skeered.

Big Toes and Skill Saws
Just ask Chris! So as you know we've been busting our ass in the backyard this summer, we're getting close to done and I'm so excited. Anyway, last night I was having a cookout for my little cousin's birthday. Nothing big, but I wanted him to know I remembered his birthday, he's 14, wowsers! Just as they arrived and I was about to put the burgers on the grill, Chris looks up at me from the raised flower bed he's finishing and says "I think we need to go to the hospital". Of course for anyone who knows Chris, one he has the highest pain tolerance of anyone I have ever known, and two, my first instint was "ha ha very funny". Then I realize by the color flushing from his face that he's serious. He cut his big toe straight down the middle from the top to the first joint. NICE. So 3 hours and some stitches later we're home. He'll live and his toe will be fine, but I bet you a dime he never holds a board with his foot again while using a skill saw. The cookout went on without us and went well I suppose. Mom and dad stayed with the boys until we got back home. Poor Jacob was so scared, when we got home he told Chris "I thought you were done." Little guy thought Chris was going to die, not funny, yet some how funny.
