What weekends are for....

Lately we have been so busy between work, family and extracurricular events that we haven't had much time to relax.  I am guessing everyone feels this way, but I am a big baby when it comes to down time.  I have to have it.  It is a necessity for me just like food and sleep.  If I can't have some time to do nothing, I am a grouch! Even grouchier that usual! LOL  Last weekend we spent some much needed time together.  Weekends are for.........

Update

I am sure you have been wondering about our decision on a new addition to our family.  I am happy to say that, for now anyway, we are holding off on getting a new dog.  Right after I wrote, we had back to back visitors who brought dogs along.  First my cousins visited from Panama City.  Let me just say that we had an absolute blast!! Can't wait for them to come back, or move here ;) Anyway they brought along their adorable Long Haired Dachshund, Bode.  Obviously, my kids are in love with him!! 

The only problem with sweet Bode is that he's a Gator fan, so his outfit clashed with ours ;).  But he was super well behaved.  He ran around and let the kids wrestle him from morning to night! And then Meghan pretended to kill him with a plastic sword ;) 

LOL Maybe off topic but what the heck else am I ever going to do with that photo, I just has to throw it in.  But all kidding aside, Bode was so much fun and a pleasure to have around! The kids would have loved him to stay forever.  Unfortunately, their visit had to come to an end and he had to leave.  Now my kids have to call and check on Michelle and Steve Bode every few days! We love them!!
So right on the heels of the Bodester came and old family favorite, Sugar!  

Sugar is always a good girl, enduring hours of torture from all the kids......and sometimes adults.  She is a staple at all the family outings and belongs to my in-laws.  She is over often and we are used to her and her sometimes neurotic behavior.  So both of these puppies were great to be around, but also helped me decide that we I don't want a dog.  I guess just because even though neither were any work for me, it was still something else to think about.  These days, I do not have 1 brain cell that is not responsible for something.   I feel like the rest of the family may have decided the opposite of me....they love to do that! We will see what comes of the situation, but for now, we are still a family of 4.

 LOL that's us minus Sugar :)
