So last weekend we delivered BoyScout Popcorn because this cute little man sold $1,600 worth of the stuff!! We made a plan as to how we were going to cover ALL the relatives in one day and still get to spend some time with our friends. Not ALL our friends, but at least a few of them that we keep in close contact with. We thought that we would pick the kids up from school right as school got out so we could immediately get into STL - meet everyone at a pizza joint the kids like and then spend the night at The G's house, get up and head to Nona & Popo's, then meet Granma R for breakfast at a favorite pancake house, head to Papa & Gramma J's for a snack and time with AuntB (we have 2 AuntB's), then over to Nanny's for a dinner with her, AuntieB and her clan and Grandpa O. Turned out the pizza place has closed - small catastrophy, but we went to The G's for a spaghetti and way too huge for all of us salad dinner. Then we re-thought the idea of Babers at a restaurant early in the morning- switched that to homemade breakfast at Granma R's.
As I was with some friends here in Central, IL before we left one mentioned, "Oh, have a relaxing time on your trip." What? Hadn't she heard me tell her all the craziness that we were going to do to get the popcorn delivered? Apparently not - we were seeing too many people for it to be relaxing!! We saw..........
I am missing Mr. KG - he kept ducking pictures so we didn't get him in the slide. Maybe next time. We also missed seeing the LW's because they had family in. However, turns out my friend from here was right. We were On Time for everything we did - we stayed at people's homes for everything - we weren't stressed about if Babers was yelling in public - we actually got to RELAX!! (gasp). So it was a nice time after all - and the popcorn was delivered. We also learned that we are pretty darn lucky to have so many wonderful people in our lives!!
