It was a tough act to follow. We managed to keep our spirits high with several rousing rounds of Uno.
I am proud of my boys for maintaining their cheerful dispositions in spite of being trampled by the Queen-of-Cards.
(That would be me, in case you were wondering.)
(My boys don't know that you are supposed to keep score in Uno. We prefer the shortened version where you just play however many hands you feel like and don't worry about the high numbered cards. Don't spill the beans, okay?)
Since I had my printer hooked up to my laptop and all, I tweaked a very orange photo and made it presentable.
I think this picture turned out very well, don't you?
It was taken on our trip to Niagara Falls... August 21, 2008. *sigh*
What a blessing to have these photos. God already knew how precious they would be to me down the road.
{awkward transition back to my blog post... my thoughts drive me crazy sometimes with their randomness and constant ups and downs. such is my life, y'all.}
To top off my Friday night, nothing beats cutting coupons!
I do enjoy the mindlessness of it. It's relaxing in a strange sort of way, kinda like typing... the clickety-clack of the keys makes me feel serene.
So how is your weekend? Wild and crazy or plain-family-friendly-yet-fulfilling like mine?

Then I dug out ornaments that I bought in *cough* 2007 *cough* and printed out pictures to put in them.
I propped the ornaments on the couch that matches the blue chair to take this picture. I fell in love with the design of the fabric, even though it is questionable to have a mostly white piece of furniture in my house.
Oh my, we are really getting wild and crazy now! I must remember that this blog is rated G/PG-ish.

The chicken salad looks delicious! YUM! Not much going on for us here this weekend. Watching Caden tomorrow, Sunday and Monday. May go to the state fair if it's still going on. :) Have a fabulous weekend my lovely sister! :* I love you!
The weekend has started off slow....Robby had today off (1st in 8 days) so he was extremely lazy. And I assisted him in it. ;) Then we went to Walgreens (where I started some early Christmas shopping) and then to Burger King for dinner.
Tomorrow will be filled with college football and playtime with the kiddies.
and BTW I love your posts - random wandering thoughts and all. It's what makes you ... you! :)
I might be in the boat with the boys, chicken salad looks okay but I have a hard time with fruit in with salady things... unless of course it is a fruit salad!
Friday night good! We spent it potluck style with several families from our small group.
LOL! Your Friday night sounds oddly similar to mine. I had to cut out almost two months worth of coupons. I always get mad at myself for waiting so long to do it. It took me about an hour to cut them all out, clean out my binder and then sort them into their proper places. Blah!
I also read a book. And ate a cookie. Or two.
We have crazy Friday's here too. Last night the kids played with my ipod while I sat down to write my 4th new schedule of our homeschool year :/ Something WILL work. Right?
Friday night I visited with my bff (been friends since 1979) today cooking for the week, a little baking, Sunday church and fish fry with friends, Monday, who knows?
Love the picture and the ornaments!
I think the chicken salad looks awesome! It's rough isn't it? The kids not ever being willing to try anything. SO exhausting!
Sweet pic of Christian and his Daddy.
I would have SO shared that chicken salad with you! And I'm jealous that you have little munchkins to play Uno with :) We Sterlings are pretty crazy, too: Thai food and Netflix last night, bed before 11, and now sitting in bed with laptops before 9am. I've said it before and I'll say it again: I love being old and married :) Love you, Marshy!
Such a sweet pic of Christian with his dad - what a precious thing to treasure and be thankful for.
Our weekend is quiet and at home thankfully. No travel this weekend at least. So we're celebrating by having sick kids - woo hoo!! :)
Never apologize for your random thoughts - it just shows you're part-genius to be able to cover so many things simultaneously!!!
I have to laugh about the chicken salad because I made a similiar type of salad last week with no grapes but chopped up pecans throughout and a bit of curry for flavor. I thought it was divine, but as for my 5 kids...well, only my 16 year old son said it was good. Today, I told my 11 year old I made him a chicken sandwich for lunch and he made a face while asking me if it was that crunchy kind of chicken!
By the way, our days are planned on paper quite well with Friday nights supposedly for mom and dad to go on a date. Pizza for the kids and a movie-but it doesn't always work out that way! This weekend I brought 4 of mine to the mountains with a friend for a spontaneous bunch of winging it type fun! Your blogs are great and I love your style-the pics are good too;-)
You're supposed to keep score in Uno?! Hmm, yeah, our kids don't know that either... and don't you go telling them.
Precious pic of your littlest guy with your biggest guy!
This weekend was filled with getting things done for the college classes I'm taking. There was lots of reading, papers to write, and lots of coffee to drink. I would of enjoyed eating that chicken salad in the midst of all that. Maybe you could post a recipe? ;o) Oh ya, my weekend also included going to the fair with my love and our 14 year old 'baby'. Then church on Sunday, which was really great!! :o)
