1. I went with the family to the farm. We left on Saturday morning after Eric’s bible study and came home last night.
2. I got to hang with just Eric running some errands. We do some of our best talking while we drive…love that!
3. I actually read the ENTIRE text of Issue 2. All of it. The Zanesville paper included a 4-section insert with the text for Issues 1, 2 & 3. Issue 1 was the front page. Issue 3 was the back page. The other 50+ pages was Issue 2. It took most of Sunday afternoon, but I now know how I intend to vote next Tuesday and why. Nice!
4. I did not get good sleep because we all (except Eric, so far) have some nasty colds and my kids refused to sleep at Grandma’s house. *sigh*
5. I had some really good chats with my MIL.
6. I took the kids down the barn where we helped give hay to cows, watched the calves being fed and waved to Uncle Alan on the tractors. We 
the farm!
7. After 7+ years of marriage (plus our dating time), I realized I finally know my way around my MIL’s kitchen!
8. I undid all the work I had completed on a knitting project, got the right-sized needles and started again. It’s going much better now!
9. I missed the Buckeye game, which (I hear) was really good. But honestly, I probably wouldn’t have stayed up for then end even if I’d been home. So…oh well!
10. I put 2 of my 3 kids to bed in their clothes last night because they were that asleep by the time we got home. Alex woke up enough to want his jammies, but the girls, we just laid in bed as they were. And we were all in bed by 9:20. Lovely!
11. I packed us to leave in about half an hour on Saturday morning. I needed to fold some clothes and clean the kitchen first. So when Eric got home at 9:15, I hadn’t even started packing. But we were driving out of our driveway at 9:50…go me! (And I didn’t forget anything important…woohoo!)
And that’s pretty much what I did this weekend. Happy Monday!
