our weekend

After the extremely busy week, we decided to continue on into the weekend. First, let me just say, I am soo very tired. On Saturday, my mom and the kids met us at the river, as well as our friends Keith and Lauren. JR had to work that morning so we didn't get out there until around 2:30. I don't really have any photos, because of the situation with my sister, I didn't take many photos, and on some of the events I didn't even bring my camera. My sister doesn't even know that they are in town. Anyway, I am not going to get in to all that....Logan went home with my mom and the kids to stay the night, and Landry, JR, and I headed to a friends house for poker. We didn't want to take Logan because he can a wild man. He, unfortunately, has no schedule - and if JR and I stay up - he will too. I understand that saying this is a direct reflection of our parenting and the mistakes we made - but, it is what it is. Considering JR and I usually go to bed at 10:00 it isn't really an issue, because he goes to bed at that time two...the problem is that when we do stay up...he will too - no matter how tired he is...he finds a way to stay awake. Landry on the other hand goes to bed at 8:30 every night, so we decided to take her with us. She wouldn't ve been able to play with her cousins because of her bed time, so it just seemed unfair to send her along. Unfortunately, the room I was using to lay her down in, was the master bedroom where people kept going in to take showers, so I wasn't able to lay her down until 9:15 - I think she fell asleep before her head hit the pillow! I won $120 playing poker, so that made it even better! LOL
Sunday, JR went into work early, came home to get me, and we left the house at 9 to go get Logan from my parents. Then we went to Canyon Lake to look at some time share condos. Yes, you read that right. JR and I are thinking of getting a time share. We are looking in to it and will let you know what we do...it won't be anytime really soon- but hopefully within the next year. One thing that JR and I do agree on, is that we both want to be able to take the kids on vacations all over the country as they are growing up. In my family, going on vacation meant we were going to visit family. Yes I would love to continue that tradition, I want the chance to take my kids skiing in the winter, to yellowstone, the grand canyon, I want to take them to a Red Sox game in Boston - go to New York...and yes, part of it is selfish because they are all things I want to do...but I just want them to be able to travel and see and experience new things. See other ways of life - maybe we can visit an amish community...I don't know I just want them to be sheltered, but not sheltered. The problem with vacationing like that is that it costs a lot of money. So it seems reasonable to own a time share that you can use all over the world and depending on where you stay it's free for an entire week...(if you stay at a property owned by Silverleaf, it's free...if you want to go somewhere else you pay $200 for the entire week 8days 7 nights...and you are guaranteed 2 bed, 2 bath with a fold out couch! Anyway, JR wants to do it right now...but I think we should save up for a down payment...plus, right now we are saving up for a cruise that we are hoping to take in Sept. Anywho! It may not ever happen, but it is something we are looking in to!
Hope everyone has a good week...I am going to try and take it easy before heading down to Galveston for my friend, Aiden's 2nd birthday!
