Geez, what a weekend. Thursday afternoon we went up to Concord Mills and shopped. Dropped a ridiculous amount of money on clothing for all of us. I’m taking some of it back. They should just go ahead and put a mailing package in your shopping bag so you can mail things back when buyer’s remorse sets in. Friday I took work off and we didn’t get started until about lunchtime. We ended up at KFC for lunch and took it to Cherry Park for a picnic. That was actually really nice. The weather here has been tremendously wonderful the past few days. After that, we headed to Hollywild Zoo about an hour away. They have all kinds of animals there, some you can pet. These animals are animals that have been used for acting purposes in Hollywood, hence the name Hollywild. They had elephants, zebras, buffalo, rhinoceros, camel, cougar, leopard, lions, monkeys, peacock, wolves, bears, you name it, it was probably there. You took a bus through the field and got to feed some of the animals. The kids loved it. So then we stopped in Gaffney on the way home to eat and shop a little more and that was it for Friday. Saturday morning we spent around the house while our family did some MORE shopping. Scott almost got the fence done and washed the cars. I had a friend over to re-do my pots and plant some plants in the front yard. Saturday afternoon we went to a egg hunt at our church and then had a cook-out at Mom’s. Our company left Sunday morning. Emma slept over at Mom’s the entire time they were there.

So Sunday we had our choir special. We had a few glitches but I think overall it went well. We went to Scott’s parents for lunch to eat a ham dinner and had another egg hunt for the kids. We came home for naps (of which I did not get) and then spent the evening at Mom’s. It was a great Easter weekend and I certainly am not in the mood to work again.

Today MIL is off so she is going to get the girls this afternoon. I have the first bible study with D tonight. I sort of forgot about it actually. I’m hoping MIL can just keep them a little later tonight. Which means, da-dadah-dahhh, I might get to go to the gym and go to bible study tonight. Yipee!

Scott is gone for the entire week this morning. He called about 9 this morning and said he was there and he was going to have to stay at the academy instead of with a friend in Columbia . That’s a bummer. I know he is not really looking forward to being gone for the week.
