Weekend happenings....

What happened in our house this weekend you ask?  Well, let me tell you!

Friday:  9:15 a.m. I get a call at school.  Karson is complaining he is sick.  Tummy and ear hurting.  Since that usually is the sign that he is getting an ear infection I leave and take him to Urgent Care.  Fortunately, no infection, but he did have fluid in his ear so he is on zyrtec.  I hope that clears it up!  After our UCC visit we went and ate at Sonic and then went to Wal-Mart.  After that we came home and Kaden napped while I cleaned up the kitchen a bit.  When Justin got home we all went to Mountain Home for chinese food.

As we were eating dinner I got a phone call from my mom.  She asked where we were and told us to stay there.  There was a tornado coming through where we live!!  SO SCARY, the unknown...  Karson was worried about the Easter Bunny and trampoline!  So there was some humor when he asked if the Easter Bunny was ok!  The drive down our road was eery.  Our neighbors yard was demolished!  Our other neighbor's barn was destroyed.  When we topped the hill we saw our trampoline in the field.  We still couldn't see our house and that was a sickening moment!  We rounded our corner and all was well.  There was a ton of limbs in our yard, and if my van would have been there it would be totaled.  

Saturday Justin had to work.  I decided to tackle laundry and housework.  Around 2 p.m. my grandparents showed up to check on us (thank God my house was clean!).

Saturday night I went to mom's night in at my friend Jen's house.  That was fun!  There were about 10 of us.  We laughed A LOT!

Sunday Justin had to go repair a guy's roof that was damaged by the tornado.  If his house was built 50-100 yards over it would have been gone.  The man did not have insurance...so scary!
I took the boys to Wal-Mart and did some shopping.  We got my nephews each a baseball glove and I got Karson and my other nephew a mickey shirt and toy story shirt for $3!!  I also got Karson an awesome book that is a dry erase board book that has capital and lowercase letters, shapes, numbers, etc and he LOVES it!

Justin got home around noon and we cleaned up the yard and spent time as a family.  We finally went over to mom's yesterday evening and got the boys' swingset.  They are IN LOVE!!!!!  It was a great weekend! :)

I especially loved when Karson told me yesterday that, "I love when you are home taking care of me mommy!"   Melts my heart! :)
