Home again...

Once again we've just returned from a wonderful trip to Montana, although it seems we took the bad weather with us only to bring it back to Washington again. The weekend was supposed to be the perfect temp, highs in the 80's, lows in the 70's, but instead I don't think it got above 65 the entire time we were there. Thank goodness we didn't actually go camping, even though we slept in my parent's 5th wheel. Despite the chill, I think we all enjoyed ourselves.

Jackson was outside as much as I allowed him to be, which was pretty much all day every day except Sunday. I got a call from my brother one of those days asking if I knew where Jackson's shoes were. Apparently he'd wandered down to the shop in his socks even though I'd just told him to put his shoes on before he went back out. Silly boy. Even though it was pretty muddy, his socks weren't in too bad of shape. A little dirty, but not completely ruined as I expected.

Jeff was out with the guys doing target practice or trying to help where he could. I rarely saw him any time other than first thing in the morning, when it was time to eat and when the rest of the guys came in for the night. I'm so glad I packed some grungy-er clothes for him because he got filthy doing all his manly-man things.

Owen entertained himself chasing my mom's chi-weiner(dachound/chihuahua, but mostly a wuss) around the house and giggling. Oh and he got into EVERYTHING! I cannot even begin to tell you how many times I found him behind my dad's recliner with a pile of movies and a portable dvd player he'd found, trying to watch a movie, yet when we'd put one in for him, he'd be off to do something new in 10 seconds. What a silly little boy. And so busy!

I mostly just hung out with the girls, attempting to help with whatever needed done around the house, or with the many quilt projects that were going on or sneaking in a few minutes of uninterrupted reading. I finished to book I started the last time we were there and figured out what I'm going to do for Owen's quilt. I was even able to raid my mom's fabric stash for some fabric that will hopefully work with what I already have.

We had the camera with us, but my mind has been a jumble of too many things that I need to get done, and because I somehow become the offical photagrapher when we go anywhere, it was only taken out once or twice. I hoped we would be able to get some family pictures done, but because Jeff was gross the whole time and it was either windy, rainy or just plain cold until the last day we were there, we never got the chance to. It didn't help that I planned for warm weather and we ran out of long pants for the boys to wear and all the had left were shorts. At least we had some long pants so Jackson could play to his hearts content. We are all happy to be home now, but we seem to have brought a bug home with us. Poor Owen has a runny nose and sore throat and is just feeling yucky and I'm heading in the same direction. Yuck. Anyways, I hope you all had a wonderful Labor Day weekend too! Till next time :)
