Boys weekend, Girls weekend

It's that time of year again -- hunting season. Not usually the wife's favorite time being that the husband is gone and they usually bring home dead animals to store in your freezer and/or eat. This past weekend Jeremy went pheasant hunting for the first time with some college friends in South Dakota. He had a great time and they got their limit each day (which means my freezer is full of pheasants; not sure if they will all get eaten.) He said the Kleinsassers were wonderful hosts and that Mrs. Kleinsasser even makes better cheesy potatoes than I do. :)

Since the guys were gone hunting, my friend Em and daughter Lily came down from Moorhead to hang out for the weekend. Apart from watching the girls, taking them swimming at the Y, and visiting a pumpkin patch, we relaxed (while the girls were sleeping), watched some movies and The Office episodes Em had missed this year, and ate plenty of ice cream. Everything went pretty smoothly except for Saturday night around 7:00 when Bri was getting very crabby. I stuck her in her bed and was trying to get her bottle ready when I saw that Bella had just thrown up. When Bella throws up it's not a small amount as you can imagine. Then to make matters worse, Emily smelled Bella's puke and started throwing up. (Emily got Jeremy's weak stomach.) So here I am torn between getting Bri's bottle ready since she is tired and screaming in her bed, cleaning up Bella's puke before it causes anyone else to puke, or clean up Emily's throw-up which is all the way up the stairs. Em came to the rescue and tended to Bri while I cleaned up all the puke. Lovely. About 1/2 hour later things were much calmer. Other than that we had a fun and fairly relaxing weekend, not worrying about what the guys wanted to do or wanted to eat, and watching girl movies for once. And falling asleep on the couch which our husbands are always bugging us about.

Here's a picture of us girls at the Eveland Family Farm on Sunday.

Stacey, I hope you don't mind, I stole this picture of the guys from your blog! I thought it was a great one.
