We had a WONDERFUL road trip to Argyle. Grandma Shell, Aunt Neesey, Archer, Shelly and I all crammed into Grandma's car and took off on a weekend adventure.
First Stop: Apple Picking at the Elegant Farmer
I'll put some pictures up later, but the couple hours we spent there were entertaining and will definitely be remembered.
Next Stop: Leah's Bridal Shower
There were about 40 women there and about 10 babies Shelly's age or younger. Babies everywhere!! While the girls were at the party, Archer rode the tractor with Farmer Tim hauling manure. For TWO HOURS Archer rode, and Farmer Tim later reported to me that Archer didn't stop talking the entire time! The kid is not shy, and when he has a captive audience there's no telling what stories you'll hear.
Party Time: Grandpa Shorty's House
Six boys, one girl, and seven adults can go through pizza pretty quickly...
By some miracle there were no injuries, no children fell down the stairs or broke anything. Seriously - a miracle. They were running up and dow the stairs, around in circles, wrestling, throwing balls at each other. The whole time Shelly just tried to keep up and every time she got half way up the stairs the boys came down and she started the long journey back down. Up and down and up again.
Bed Time: Tim & Penny's House
Denise and I took over Jessie's room and once the kids got settled we fell asleep pretty quickly. Archer wanted to sleep on the floor, this caused a big dilema for Shelly. She REALLY wanted to sleep next to her brother, but also really wanted to sleep with Denise and I in bed. She laid down next to him on the floor, cuddled up and arranged the blankets just the right way, laid there for about two seconds and then got up, came over to the bed and crawled between Denise and I. She laid down, cuddled up and arranged the blankets just the right way, laid there for two seconds and then got up, got off the bed...
Story to be continued...
