They're Back......

Today ended up really being a good day, I was able to get a lot accomplished thanks to my oldest niece Hilary coming over to take Jordan to Browns Berry Patch to pick berries, and of course spoil him. (Hilary is 5 years younger than me.) and she has a great relationship with Jordan. Jacob went with Aunt Bonnie to pick up Victoria from work. (Jacobs cousin) And of course, he was spoiled too, and the two Korey's were not home yet, I mowed the lawn , the weeded garden picked the strawberries, finished up the little bit of laundry that I had, put it away, had the house in decent order.
Then the first words I heard from the camper....little Korey, yelling from out side...."We're Back...." So, of course we headed out. Big Korey did not look happy at all. He announces he is in a mood. OK, so wow, nice welcome, right? I was really looking forward to him coming home, but right at that moment, we needed to rewind. So, we unloaded all the yucky camping mess....straight down to basement. Had the washer ready and waiting for them to come home. Two loads of dirty camping clothes down, probably 4 more to go. But, at least there is no mess in the main house, just the basement, so I am all good. Little Korey said it was great to be home. He told me that I looked great! I was wondering if he had gotten him self in trouble and was trying to butter me up, because if you seen me, you would not say I looked great. I had just got done mowing the lawn, weeding the garden and picking strawberries....my hair was pulled back all funky. Then I really thought he was buttering me up, when he said, "really mom, you look great, you look like you are smaller too!" Jordan chimed in, yeah you do mom....well I know that camp must have made Korey delusional, not sure what caused Jordan's delusions because I could not have with not working out very much this week. Only 2 days of biking and one Zumba class and the intake was much more than normal due to eating on the go a lot this week as well, but it made me feel better for just a moment...
Glad they are home, and after a nice shower, Big Korey was feeling much better and was not so grumpy. He is the one who LOVES to camp.....with a bunch of Boy Scouts....really, he says he does....crazy I know. My kind of camping is at a hotel.

So, back to normal we are, all together again.
