Just another Saturday

We didn't do much today....a lazy Saturday! Ben worked...as usual...but thankfully only 8 hours instead of the scheduled 12+. Its amazing how difficult his job is, with working 7 days a week, working long hours, being on call 24hr/day and working with no A/C in a mill that is 100 degrees in the winter, yet Ben loves it. I guess its a testimony to growing up and become an adult, spouse and father. Thanks Ben!
Mom, Jayden and myself decided to do a little running around. I have been trying to put hair bows in Jayden's hairs for months and up until now she shakes her head no and jerks the bow out. Luckily she is kind enough to give it back to me instead of throwing it down, like most little ones would do. So, now that we have achieve Jayden allowing the bows in her hair, I decided that instead of paying $4/each, I could make them. So, off to Sallys Beauty Supply to buy slides (like alligator clips) then to Michaels for ribbon and decorations. Spent about $8 came home and started working! And yep, I can make them!!!! Yeah!!! So for $8 I made 12 bows..not bad, huh?
We continue to count down to the beach trip...7 days away. We were fearful that Hurricane Hanna would cause damage to the house and then the worry that the Monster Hurricane Ike would destroy everything in it's path. Luckily, Hanna was downgraded to a tropical storm with high wind and lots of rain..no damage. Luck must be on our side because Ike took a turn to hit Cuba and then into the Gulf. However good for us and our vacation, it is sad for my mom's boss whose house in the Keys is in Ike's direct path to the Gulf. So fingers crossed that its weathers the storm! Looks like another scary Hurricane season! I have a great pic of a rainbow from the little rain we received from Hurricane Hanna. I will make sure to post it tomorrow!
I can not close this blog until I make note to the fact that the Gamecocks lost to Vandy (2 years in a row!!) and Clemson beat Citadel. Yes, I know Clemson played a smaller team but hey a win is a win and something to be proud of! So that makes USC and Clemson with 1-1 record. College football season is always so eventfully in our home! Good night!
