Second Chance

This girl is SLEEPY today!  The first fully sunny day in Smalltown, VA, and I'm having trouble keeping my eyes open.  What gives?

Louis and I had a visitor last night.  We sat up talking into the wee hours of the morning, and now we are both having trouble staying awake.  Little Louis says "mummy PLEASE don't make me wake up this morning":


So he is still asleep.  I, however, had to come to work. 

I am super excited for the weekend.  This is Barbie's Birthday Ball Weekend, and I absolutely cannot wait!  We are all going to put on our black-tie best and head to a ball that is taking place in Smalltown, VA.  I've never attended this event, and don't really know what to expect, but I know we will have a wonderful time :) 

I'm wearing a gown that I wore a few years ago to another formal event I attended.

Saturday Virginia Tech plays NC State.  All I have to say is GO HOKIES!!  I'm worried about my boys because I won't be at this game to cheer them on.  BUT...we will all be gathered to send them good vibes before we head to the Birthday Ball.

Sunday I am going to make boiled peanuts.  Again.  Paula Deen told me how to make them in the crock pot, and I made 2 pounds of them.  They were "eh..okay".  This time I'm doing them my daddy's way.  Boiled in a HUGE metal pot on the stove for 10 hours.  Mmmmmmmmmm....



Hope you all have a lovely weekend!
