Not!
You thought you were in the wrong place for a second huh? Got you guys good...lol.
I do not in fact have a pocket full of sunshine today. My pocket is full of rainclouds and gloominess. Surprisingly, my mood is not bad.
It could be bad. But, it's not.
It occurred to me over the weekend that I haven't really blogged about my kids much lately..I've just ranted and complained.
My mom and sister stole took Lulu Saturday, my sister's friend was having a baby shower. She's pregnant with her 2nd son. She's never met my daughter, and for some reason felt like she needed to meet her. I in fact had no problem with this. I was actually quite happy because it gave me some time to have fun with Jackson and Riley. I haven't had the chance to have a mommy/son day with them in a while. I decided to take them to get dirty. We went to Wild Things Farm. We had a blast! For $8/each you get a hayride, complete with meet & greet with the resident horses, a dirt hill slide, corn maze, and a stop at the pumpkin patch to pick out your very own pumpkin. You also have access to the petting zoo while there. We fed goats, raced rubber ducks, so on and so forth. I also splurged on $5 pony rides for the boys. It was Jackson's first time to really ride a horse, he thought it was the best thing ever and giggled the entire time. It was lots of fun, and they got super dirty, which was the goal.
We were there, seriously about 2 hours. All 3 of us were exhausted when it was time to leave. They tried to con me into taking them to the famous golden arches, but I talked them into Sonic instead. FYI..do not try the bacon and bleu dog..it's not tasty at all. They both fell asleep on the way home. I felt super lucky to get a few moments of peace and quiet.
When we got back to the farm (our farm), I dropped Riley and Jackson off at Gammy's because she hadn't saw either one of them much at all that day. They both kept telling me thank you for taking them to "the punkin patch". They were so sweet, I forgot how much fun outings could be with just the boys.
When Lulu got home all hell broke loose. She likes to play this game where she sneaks out the side door and runs to Gammy's house just as fast as she can before you catch her..lol. Then when you yell at her ask her nicely to come back, she turns around looks at you like you're insane and starts to cross the fence so she can run across the field to Gammy's yard. She gets the cutest, most mischievous look on her face. If you remind her you can run faster than her she'll usually stop and come back.
On Saturday, I was laying down when she got home. I was texting and not paying much attention and she ran over to Gammy's house before I realized she was gone. So I had to go get her. I re-acquired Jackson while I was there as well. Lulu giggled all the way home because she tricked me. :) I love that little girl, she has my heart, even when she's cranky and has the worst attitude I love her. Her attitude is still cute at this point. Check back in with me in a few years and ask me how many times she's got in trouble for telling me no.

The parentals went and picked up BBQ from Wildhorse Mountain on Saturday night. We all had dinner at my grandparent's house. It was really nice. The baked beans were the.best.ever.
On Sunday we just chilled. Didn't do much at all except for spend time together and watch reality tv with Gammy. I love lazy Sundays with my family.
Next Sunday I'm looking forward to seeing several of my siblings. My little brother is getting married on 10/16! I'm so excited for him and his bride to be. My baby brother turned 19 today. <3 I'm so excited to see the 2 of them and my younger sister. I'll be sure to post pics!
Did the rest of you have a good weekend? I hope all of you have a pocket full of sunshine today!
