What a week...

Ok so it's been like a week and a half since I last posted and a lot has been going on! I'll try to keep it to only the things that are blog worthy.... no promises. Bear with me... this could get long.

Thursday we celebrated LaDessa's Birthday after work by eating whoopie pies! Then we literally ran down the road to Doug's to watch Survivor with a bunch of other people. While we were running Taco tripped over Ryan and flew and then landed on the side of the road on his face. He is fine! Much laughter occurred after that!

On Saturday we worked the zip line all afternoon. In the rain. Not fun.

Taco, LaDessa, Bill and I went to Bill's house in New Jersey over the weekend. We left Sunday after church. It is only about 2 hours away. We spent the evening with his family at his sister's house. There we had, in LaDessa's words, "Crab out of the crab." Too funny! Too good! Then we went across the bridge to Philly. and walked around a bit. On Monday we went to Jersey Shore and laid in the sand, walked the board walk and played in the waves. It was really windy and kinda chilly so we didn't get in the water. Then we came home! We played hot seat the whole time we were ever in the car and sometimes when we were out of the car! It was great! When we got home we watched Ratatouille and Equilibrium while I did laundry!

Tuesday, or as I like to call it... My terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. (or "suck at life" day for short) I woke up to an unpleasant, angry visitor that proceeded to repeatedly kick me in the gut for the rest of the day. (are you with me on that one ladies?) Then while we were detailing I tripped over the vacuum cord. At lunch I stubbed my toes on the coffee table and got my arm stuck in the fly paper. While we were working in the corn maze after lunch I fell in the ditch full of corn stalks. Then I couldn't"t break the rock with the sludge hammer and I got scratched by a nail while moving picnic tables. I thought my day had taken a turn for the better when the lady at Chick-fil-a offered me a free cheese cake sample, but then I knocked over my sweet tea. Lucky for me it had a lid or me and several other people whom I do not know would have gotten very wet and sticky. The day ended at Wherly's. It is a hill billy auction. Pretty fun. We got some cool stuff cheap. But my Ibuprofen ran out so I was ready to go home.

Wednesday. We had PT this morning. I didn't die! Work was detail in the morning, serving meals and maizefest prep. in the afternoon. We had fun with maizefest prep. We played on the playground at fort roller and on the mine shaft (mini zip line)! We also man handled some inflatables and trailers and boards and corn and hay... we were fairly productive! Then we went to Walmart and to Zach and Chris's "Tray-tray" for a bonfire!

Thursday. After we detailed and served meals, I refereed. paintball games all afternoon. Too fun! Then we had Merson Madness! Or game night at the Merson's! Fun stuff!

Funny sayings of the week:

Sarah, referring to Ryan's OCD dvd collection: I am gunna go through them one day and turn them all different ways.
Ryan, being all defiant and sassy and in a threatening voice: You do that and I'll spend an hour and a half putting them all back.
Taco, while the whole room is rolling in laughter: Wow, you really showed her!

Beth, laughing at Taco who was laughing at something funny that happened on 'the office',sprayed water out of her mouth and all over the room getting Michelle's pant leg wet. After a roar of laughter and Beth turning red and trying to apologize ...
Matt says: At least now you can say that you have spit on a pregnant woman.

And many, many other things that made us laugh really hard that I can't remember right now because they happened so long ago. Trust me, we are very funny people!
