NaBloPoMo is kicking my butt

So let's see. Friday night we took the boys to a new hot dog place a few miles from our house. When we were in South Carolina this past summer, we ate at this place, and we all liked it so much that we had to eat there three more times during our one-week stay. Well, the place near our house didn't really compare, so we won't need to go back there three times in the next week.

Not only do I feel like I do way too much laundry, I also feel like I grocery shop way too much. So I had everyone come with me on a Friday night and we loaded up the cart together. Can you get enough of this excitement??

Yesterday we had friends over for dinner, and getting ready was an all day event. Well, not really. Andy took Oce to a friend's house for part of the day, and then he and Aidan did more birthday returns and shopping. I did get an outdoor run in, because I do believe it may be possible to fall asleep while running on the treadmill. Running outside is waaaaay better. The boys did help with cleanup, and for now at least, we have an organized basement. Will it stay that way until Santa comes? Stay tuned!

Our dinner was a success...funny to me though is that we have to have people come over at 4:00 so everybody can go home by 7:30. But everybody ate, some people ate more, we had fun conversations, and the meltdowns didn't start until the evening was almost over. Success! On tap for today is football and maybe a little shopping. Oh, and I have gotten a request for chex mix. Should be a mellow, fun day.
