Fall has truly arrived and according to local news our trees should be reaching their peak color next week. I'd like to take the babies to the Penacle, and probably will Monday or Wednesday. I think they'd like it. We have to wait and see though, if it's going to be raining or sunny.
From there, you can look down and see three states - Tennessee, Virginia and Kentucky. It's beautiful this time of year, and it will be their first time seeing it.
I've slept most of the day today, it was a gorgeous day but I didn't want to do anything. Just sleep.
This evening, Sarah brought the babies over to watch a "spooky" movie. Obviously that was Mikyla's idea, because Mallory and Sarah can't like spooky movies. They had Jordyn with them - she was spending the night with them tonight, and she seemed to like the idea of spooky movies.
I told them to go pick out some dvd's of what they'd like to see and we'd watch ever what they picked out. Mikyla picked out 'Queen of the Damned' and Jordyn picked out 'Ghost Ship' but Mallory insisted we stick with Scooby Doo and Lilo & Stitch. Movies were taken in and out of that dvd player with more speed than I ever thought possible.. it was comical.
Then Cristy called and wanted to know if she could come watch movies too so of course she could, and did, and we got pizza and bread sticks from pizza hut and after a while, we talked the kids into playing in the den so we could watch 'Ghost Ship'. I love that movie.. but Sarah was as bad as Mallory for jumping up to run down the hall and hide her eyes. *laughs* chicken!
They all just left, going to Sarah's for the night, but Mallory didn't want to go. She clung to dippy saying "My don't mont to".. meaning she wanted to stay here. She had to go tonight though, they have church in the morning. My guess is they'll be able to stay here tomorrow night.
I enjoyed their company. That was fun.
Sarah made brownies and chocolate chip cookies, and popcorn and the babies seemed to enjoy the heck out of that.
As I type, there's an odd sound outside of my window. The sound of a really hard wind storm, angry harsh wind whistling into the small opening I have to let fresh air in here, but 'cept the wind isn't blowing. The chimes are still and there's nothing moving out there. I don't know what's making that sound. Odd..
I have so much to do, all I've accomplished this weekend was to catch up on my laundry but like a goob, I didn't put away my clothes, I just folded them or placed them on the bed in the middle room to put away later. At least the towels are all folded. I HATE folding those things. They're tedious!
I've had Bonnie on my mind a lot today, and Joel, I guess that's because she called Sarah yesterday. She's supposedly leaving Paul again this coming Thursday or Friday when she gets paid. Bleah, I still pray every day that she gets her head together. Poor Joel :(
Lisa called this evening while Sarah and Cristy was here. She sounds sick as can be. This will turn into bronchitis on her again, I just know it. That's the worst part about this change of weather, everyone getting sick. She caught this from Nick, whom I'm guessing caught it in school.
Mik and Mal's colds aren't too bad, they have a croupy cough and runny nose, but no fevers, no loss of appetite and they're full of playful energy, so for now, it's all good. I just hope Lisa gets better fast.
I think even Mom's got this. Ugh. I'm sneezing and that's all. I don't want another cold! I just got rid of one!
