What a Weekend

Friday started off pretty good. I mean it was Friday for goodness sakes! The plan was to head to
the first Farragut game of the season after "tailgating" so to speak with some friends of Jakes. Well that fell through, but no big deal right? So instead, we decided to grab a burger at Aubrey's before Jake had to be fitted for a new helmet. So, the kids and I headed to Aubrey's to meet Jason and that is when it all started......THE MOUTH!!!! Jake just couldn't control his flapping tongue....it will be the death of him. I can't imagine where he gets it. His problem is that he just can't stay out of everyone's business. I mean, I am the mom here. If he would just leave the other boys ALONE and let me handle things, he would stay out of trouble. But NO!!!! After about 15 warnings I had had it......finally I had to just remain silent after a comment that "broke the camels back" so to speak . When Jason arrived, the table was SILENT and I was about in tears. Through all of the chaos, I neglected to notice all of the chocolate milk Christian was "slamming". By the time we got through dinner and we were standing up to leave, Christian mentioned he didn't feel good and was giving the "wiener dog urp" look. UNBELIEVABLE!!!! I pushed him on to the restroom as fast as I could with no luck.......yes he did! Right at the entrance of Aubrey's.....all over the floor, himself and me. His crocs were FULL!!! I didn't know whether to help clean up or go with him to the bathroom. Needless to say, by the time I had cleaned out the crocs in the bathroom sink and somewhat cleaned Christian up, you would never know he had done it .....they were fast.....Jason had no idea what had happened!

Jason went on the game with Jamesen and yes, Jake stayed home grounded as well as his phone taken away. Christian ended wanting to eat again and then snuggled up next to mom while she watched the Olympics.....poor baby!

On Saturday we had Jake's game that he won thanks to his AWESOME CATCH in the end zone for the two point conversion. They ended up winning 8-6....way too close! Saturday evening Jamesen spent the night out and Jason and I went out to dinner. A much needed break. Jake stayed at home to babysit Christian and tried to convince me he would need his phone for safety purposes. And I just laughed.....I mean we have a land line. Is land line even in the dictionary? About an hour into our meal we get a call from a frantic Jake.....he swears there was a "drive by"....he had heard a big POP and a flash of light. OK....we live in a culdesac in one of the nicest areas in town.....it couldn't be a drive by. I questioned him for a moment...neighbors shooting fireworks....etc. He was FRANTIC...had christian and the wiener dog behind the bar under the comforter...yelling at them to stay down....finally coming to the conclusion that the oven had shorted out...."oh wait a minute mom....the oven is off....it was just the oven...oh ok .....just the oven....ok mom we are ok.....no y'all don't need to rush home.....I love you" Was I even feeling like finishing my dinner? After a while it seemed pretty funny but at the time I was about to think we had actually had a "drive by". You never know this day and time.

Sunday was ALOT calmer. Went to service at Cove Park, stayed to eat some lunch and let the kids play.....Jake went to batting practice while Harrison came over to play a while with Jamesen...and Jason worked on the range. The mother board was completely fried! Jason the handy man was able to take it apart and before the afternoon had turned to evening, he had it all back together with new parts on order.....and we grilled out burgers. I am so Glad it is Monday and it is just me and the wiener dog asleep on the couch!

Oh......and

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUSTIN SAMS!!!!!!
