A Fun Family Weekend

So this weekend we had fun and relaxed at the same time. Friday after work I came home to Dalton & Fred standing over the 57 lb catfish they caught on the trout line (WOW) then we went  to our friend Joey's house to spend the night.  He has two little girls that Allie is good friends with so she always has fun, however Dalton is always out-numbered.  Everyone woke up Saturday and went squirrel hunting, that season is just as popular as deer season is in MO, people actually sign their children out of school early on the Friday before opening day. Poor little Dalton though... by the time we got home last night he was so sick of girls picking and making fun of him.  After we got home we then got ready and I took Allie, Chelsea (Allie's friend) & Dalton to see Alpha & Omega in 3-D.  We went to the 9 o'clock show so everyone was tired, but I had already bought the tickets on-line so we were going weather they slept through the movie or watched it! Dalton ended up snoozing but the girls really liked the movie except it was negative 20 degrees in the theatre.  Dalton really liked the 3-D.  They had a part in the movie where it was snowing and he was tyring to grab at the snow, sooo funny.  We ended up getting home at 11:00!! Dalton stripped down to his undies, plopped on the couch and passed out.  Allie and her little friend went straight to her room got in their p.j.'s, turned the Disney channel on and went to sleep.  It was really wonderful because I didn't have to tell one single child to got to bed!! I guess the best part about being out so late last night was that we all slept in this morning. I actually got to sleep until 10 AM!  Today has been a very productive day for me. I woke up and got two loads of laundry done, vacuumed the bedroom floors, swepted and mopped the dining room, kitchen, hallway, & living room, washed all the counter tops, bathrooms & dishes. Then I cleaned all 13 of our windows, inside & out! Then I joined the family down at David & Laura's for some chili-dogs and watched the Saints play & WIN today! I heard the Chiefs are doing good this season, but if I don't want to be murdered in my sleep I have to cheer for the Saints, and secretly keep up and cheer for the Chiefs behind closed doors. These southern people take their football very serious. The weather is finally feeling like fall, only 68 degrees today and breezing.  I'm loving it and so are the kids, they have done nothing but play outside all weekend. Tomorrow I have to stay home from work until 1 o'clock, the kids don't have school due to parent teacher conferences. Which I'm very anxious for.  We need to get Allie's grades figured out, and I want to see what Dalton's teachers say.  He has 3 I have to talk with. His homeroom teacher, speech teacher & his excelled learning class teacher. Oh by the way Dalton finally made all A's on his calendar last week, usually he makes a couple of B's due to not laying down at nap time or making weird noises in class. But last week was a perfect week and boy was he proud of it!! Every night he would come home and shove his calendar in my face and say "momma wook, I made a good gwade again" like see I told you I could do it.  So for his good behavior Fred is taking him on the boat tomorrow to go catfishing at the river.  He said he didn't want a toy cause he wanted to fishing instead. So that is great saves us some money!! Well it is  now time for dinner, we are having blackened catfish...yummy!
