That is the book that has been making me laugh out loud through out the day--- I know I've been VERY slow in blogging--but nothing has been happening around here-- worth taking your time with...until today!! Well for the last 2-3 weeks Jason and I knew we would be going "home" to visit the grandparents and Great Grandparents this coming weekend-- however the BIG questions is always Where WILL WE STAY? In order to not say some negative things and boring you with family dynamics--- I'll just say-- it is a BIG decision-- and it keeps us FROM visiting many times-- Well then this morning hubby mentioned that his brother was going CAMPING this weekend--- hmmm camping in the same town as all our grandparents/great grandparents live--- hmmmm I love smores---so hubby did tell bil that we would stop by to visit-- Well if you know my hubby you know he is a Mr. Steady thru and thru and I have a GOOD BIT of VISIONARY in me.... (enough that I am very thankful I did not marry another Visionary--it would be scary). So by 11am--I said--mmmmm why don't we make it a camping weekend?? So doing a bit of looking on line-- we decided--sure...now there was the decision of HOW CLOSE to CAMP to bil...and hubby won--we will be camping RIGHT BESIDE THEM Well then we called and made our reservations-- 2 nights 3 days-- $48 (not bad-- it is an electric site--we don't need electric--but to be next to BIL this is our cost.... After we paid-- what were hubbys words? "Wheww $48 that is not bad--for a nice weekend of camping--and NOT staying with either set of parents". Then-- I said-- "so what about a tent?" So off to the local store we went-- and bought ourselves a nice tent on sale-- and well if you give a family a tent-- they are gonna want an air mattress (or 2)--- if you give them an airmattress-- they are gonna want some neat sleeping bags (or 2)-- if you give them some neat sleeping bags-- they are gonna want some nice Mountain Pie makers (or 2)--- and if you give them some Mountain Pie Makers they are gonna need some groceries to make those Mt. Pies-- and if you give them some Mountain Pies-- they are gonna want some SMORES-- and well I could go on and on-- and you see where this $48 weekend went, right???? Thankfully the BIG purchases will be covered by some $$ we have in savings for some things like this-- (THANK YOU NEW BUDGET PLAN)---- and they will also be re-used for many more camping trips to come.... We are eating on the CHEAP- Cereal for breakfast-- Hotdogs for lunch- Mt. Pies for dinner- and Smors for AFTER DARK!!! We haven't been camping on over 6 years---and it is brining back memories because Zachary was JUST about this age (of Stephen) and it is so cute-- I really think we will have a grand time!! Friday morning we will go visit the Great Grandparents--as we cannot set up camp until 3pm. |
(shhhhh they don't know-- we'll be there before they set up).
