Sunday - Monday - Tuesday

Saturday after the golf tournament, we went to my parent's house. We left around 11pm and Logan stayed the night with Isabella and Isaiah at my parents house. Sunday, we spent the day sleeping and basically doing nothing. My mom works from 11am - 11pm Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday of each week, which meant my dad had 3 kids by himself. We texted each other back and forth all day, until about 7 Sunday evening when he text me to tell me Logan was going to stay another night, and that my mom would drop him off Monday morning on her way to work. Going a whole day without Logan, was NO FUN for Landry! She was more demanding than usual, and kept telling her daddy and I to go get "her Logan" geesh...It will be interesting to have her all by herself Monday - Friday while Logan is at school. Hopefully, it will teach her to be a little more independent since she has always had me and her brother to do things for her! Monday morning, my mom dropped Logan, Isabella, and Isaiah off so she could get to work. The kids played all day long. They were all really great, of course, it just meant there were more people to spoil Landry. She seriously sits around like a Queen telling people what to do, what to bring her, what to watch, which game to play! RIDICULOUS is what it is! I keep waiting for the day that her head spins and she starts spewing lime green vomit! LOL The kids stayed the night with us, and I was really surprised that after Saturday night, all day Sunday and MOnday, and until 5:00 on Tuesday there were only a few minor tiffs. They got along so well. My dad came to pick up Izzy and Isaiah at 5:00 on Tuesday and the minute they walked out the door Landry grabbed her blanket and passed out. Poor girl, she is so used to taking a nap, but she just wouldn't go to sleep Tuesday...too afraid to miss out on something I guess! What did I do while the kids played??? Well, I did the dishes, and 5 loads of laundry. I don't think I have done laundry in over a month. I mean, yeah, I will gather up stuff that we need to get through the week and wash that, but basically - we have all been wearing the same clothes over and over again! Ha! So I finally gathered all the piles and started on it. I still have about 3 or 4 more to get through today, plus all the sheets! Ughhh! A couple of blogs ago, I told you of an upcoming trip to Vegas. JR and I thought about going at Halloween...I thought it would be pretty cool, but he didn't want to miss the kids trick or treating! I guess he has a point, although; honestly, I wasn't too concerned, but I conceded...I don't really want to miss the kids in the Halloween get up, but since our neighborhood trick-or-treats on Friday or Saturday (can't remember) and we wern't planning to leave until the 30th, I didn't see it being that big of a deal. Then, we decided that we would need to leave on a Wednesday. The reason being that my mom will be watching the kids and we didn't want to ask her to take time off of work. My mom will come stay at our house so that she can take Logan to school and we will stay in Vegas Wednesday and Thursday night and come home Friday. That way we can still make it to my dad's football game and bring the kids home with us from there. So for now, our plan is to go to Vegas November 7. We have so much going on right now with JR's work, he is considering taking a promotion, but it depends on what they offer for a salary. Right now, JR works on an hourly basis and while he makes a good deal of money hourly, he usually works 20-30 hours of overtime per week. In order for him to take a salary job, they have to match what he makes with the overtime, and in reality since he will be a lab manager and field technician (increasing his responsibility) we would like for them to pay him more than what his annual income would be if he just continued with the job he does now. On top of that, we are going to do some major shopping this weekend...school supplies, school clothes, Logan's haircut, clothes for Landry, and a few household items. So whether or not we go on Nov. 7 will depend on how much we spend this weekend, but on a good note...we have a back up date...December 12. Either way, we are going to Vegas, it just depends on how much money we will have when we go! We are pretty darn excited!
