Fast and Full

Today we went in so many directions, it took lots of phone calls to make sure everyone was where they needed to be at the right time!

David and I started early measuring of for post holes for the new grape plants. We did start digging them, but quickly realized we needed some water to soak in the soil first.

I then headed to the track to help set up the concessions stand for the invitational (13 team) track meet. Drew went to meet up with the team for the day. David took Caleb to his flag football clinic. I woke Erinn up enough to let her know she had Hannah and to remind her to take her to her ballet lesson in 2 hours.

David met us at the track meet to check in runners all day at the 'bull pen'. It was so sunny today he and Drew both got burnt!

I then ran to pick up Caleb from his football and promptly got LOST! I do not drive on that side of town often and got totally turned around. By the time I got there, Caleb and one other boy were all that was left. He said he was starting to get worried. I am always early to pick them up and usually stay for the whole practice. We then headed back to the track.

Erinn picked up Hannah from ballet and had to run home to meet the people buying a castle from us on Craig's List. She then had to help them tear it down and move it to their car. When she finished, she raced to the track with Hannah to just catch Drew setting a personal best in the 800M (2:03).

She told me her phone was not working and Mike was trying to get a hold of her and she was worried because he called so many times. She used mine to call and find out that he had badly twisted his knee while he was paint balling. It was about double size and turning colors!

I settled Hannah and Caleb in for the day in the tent we set up at the meet with blankets, books and toys! Keeps them very entertained and I do not have to worry where they are. We did have a couple big gusts and I thought he tent was going to blow away! An outhouse actually fell over with someone in it!!!

Erinn headed out to a look for a table and chairs. She found a new damaged set, and offered $30 for it and they took it! So she had to find some good friends with a truck to help her pick it up. In between she was able to make it back to the track to watch Drew run his mile race in 4:37.

She headed out to pick up her table. I helped close the concessions stand after we actually ran out of food! Helped the kids pick up their stuff. David finished clerking. Track meet was OVER!

When we got home we finished digging the post holes, got the posts in concrete, and planted the grapes. Liberty got one before we got it in the ground and was chewing on it! So we had to cage and net all of them to keep her out. David then mowed the lawn and I finished planting the onions.

So we just showered and are eating dinner at 8:00pm!! And then we realized it is supposed to freeze tonight so back out to cover all those new plants to keep them from freezing overnight!

We are exhausted! David is checked out with the basketball game, the little ones are playing, Erinn is at Bible study, Drew is at the movies and I am blogging. I guess we each find our different ways to relax after a crazy day!!

Hope your day was blessed as well!
