Homecoming and the Cotton Festival

We have had another great weekend. The girls had their good friends Madison and Morgan Copeland spend the night with them on Friday night. We all (me and the 5 kids that is) went to REL's Homecoming game. Since it was raining we only made it through half time but that was enough for the kiddos. J got to see his friend Ethan L. be the ring bearer and the girls got to run around and play with all their buddies. We put the big girls in the playroom on an air mattress and pulled the mattresses off of the girls beds to make one in the middle of the girls room for the little two, I hugged kissed, said prayers and tucked everyone in by 10:00 then took my lazy exhausted self on to bed. I think the last time Timmy yelled for them to hush and go to sleep was somewhere around 2:30.


Saturday was the annual Lee County Cotton Festival. We tried to sleep in a little and got to town around noon for all the fun. We picked up Mere's new puppy, since they were at Clemson, and took her with us. She won a blue ribbon at the pet show for the smallest dog. We all enjoyed the parade, eating junk from the food vendors and shopping at the different booths. When Jennifer came to get her girls they all hid from us so we just sat and visited for a while. These came flying over the railing every few minutes. So cute!
Hard to read but they are notes begging for the Copelands to spend another night.
