Fun Weekend

We have had a fun and exciting weekend, but was glad to see if slow down a bit. Saturday was go, go, go...all day. We got a bit of a late start, but didn't slow down until 9:30pm!!!

We left home around 10:30 Saturday morning, headed to "town". Papa Rooster, Mama Hen, and sleeping Chicken Little. She slept during the trip, but woke up as Papa Rooster made his first stop. Massey Furgeson. Looking at a new lawn mower. Just browsing today. Window shopping!!!
I strolled Chicken Little around as Daddy looked. She loves being outside!

Oh, she wasn't happy when she had to be strapped back in her seat. But onward we pressed. Quick ride by the Kubota dealer, looking at mowers behind the fence, then on to the Pawn Shop. When I got Chicken Little out of the carseat, she stopped fussing immediately. She was tired of riding. A quick stroll through the pawn shop and on to Lowe's.
Papa Rooster agreed to some plants for the front yard...under two conditions. 1) They be bound to one particular spot and not "clutter" the yard, and 2) I take care of them.
Chicken Little rode happily in her stroller as we browse the aisles and aisles of plants. I chose Lantana, Gardenia, Knock-out roses, and an Elm tree.

Two more stops before home. Next Harbor Freight Tools. Papa Rooster had been waiting to get here all day. I broke the list out of the diaper bag, and away we went. The store was full of people; young and old, black and white, short and tall; browsing the aisles for tools and such. After a while Papa Rooster had all he had come for and we were ready for that last stop.
K-Mart here I come!! I had a few last minute things to get. I ran in thinking "oh, I'll be only a minute". I was wrong. I got behind the "Crazy Cat Lady" who had gone by the cat food aisle and swiped every can of "Fancy Feast" into the buggy. She had no clue how many cans, so we stood in line while they scanned all 419 cans indiviually. No, it wasn't really 419 cans, but the total was a bit over $100, so I'm guessing there were quite a few.

Homeward bound with a very sleepy little girl. Stopped at home long enough to unload everything, feed Chicken Little, and load back up to head off to Egg hunt/Bible Study.

I started not to venture off with the baby since we had been gone all day, but I sure am glad we did. We had a wonderful time, and Chicken Little even "found" 4 eggs!!!!

She played on the floor for a while before getting ready for bed. Little Cornbread wanted to play catch with her so bad. One day soon little Cornbread, one day soon! It's amazing to see how much each of the children are growing. Everytime I look, I see one is something the oldest of the bunch used to wear. Or you pick one up and it takes a bit more effort... :)

Then yesterday's church service was a joy as usual. The children seem to love Chicken Little, and she seems just as smitten with them. She tends to always hold one's finger and keeps her eyes locked on her.

Well, in a nutshell, that's our weekend!!! Looking forward to next weekend!!!
