We had another busy weekend but this one surpassed most on being away from home. This weekend in Darboy was what is called Chickenfest. Our church had a little outreach there and a lot of church members volunteered to help. We have a tent that is called Changaroo. It is where parents can come and change their little ones. There are only port-a-potties (spelling?) there and no place to change a diaper. We also manned the first aid tent plus various places throughout the event. It was fun but expensive (when you have more than one or two kids) and tiring. We were there Friday night and most of Saturday. We came home Saturday for a break for a couple of hours and then went back and didn't come home until after 11:30. Part of the reason for getting home so late on Saturday night is because we parked at a friend's house and walked through their backyard- so we visited for a bit an the kids played. They built a fire and I sat around it for a little while because I was cold. It amazes me that it gets cold enough here to sit around a fire on a summer night. It was fun and I enjoyed being able to visit and I know the kids had fun. Sunday no one wanted to get up. We were all tired. After church the pastor invited a few people over for an impromptu cookout. We got home around 7 (I think) and put away some groceries and we didn't want to do much after that. It was an activity filled, tiring weekend. Guess what that means, the house isn't very clean and we are behind on laundry. The girls and I will spend part of the day cleaning the house and doing laundry. I am hoping we can get 3 loads washed, hung on the line and put away today. Our washing machine isn't doing very well (and neither is the dryer) but it might be possible. I am a little tired still but I am thankful I didn't have to get up this morning and go to a "job". The kids slept until a little after 8 and I had a little quiet for an hour or so. That was nice, although I sort of wish I would have slept longer myself. I will stop rambling and post the menu for the week. Take care and have a great week!

Your weekend sounds fun. But I know what you mean about it being tiring. We had 4 separate families over spontaneously in the last week. Great fun. But my house needs attention as well. Good luck on getting it all caught up.
