Mattocks Family News

Well the camping trip has been postponed to Thursday morning departure due to rain. Why am I not surprised??? :))
The boys were quite disappointed, they got up this morning and were all ready to go and Greg and Cindy got here and said since it was raining they were not going to go until tomorrow. I guess it is not supposed to rain tomorrow. Hmmmm we shall see. :))

So this morning I fixed everyone waffles. And yes I ate one too, peanut butter, butter and syrup slathered on thick. UGH!!!!!!!! So now I feel like a heffalump and have vowed I won't eat the rest of the day. haha I'm sure the waffles were enough calories to make it to where I shouldn't eat for 2 days.

So now I have cleaned everything up, washed the dishes and here I am. Cindy is downstairs on the phone, Greg is rolling coins downstairs while the boys look on and wish it were their money. They take up a missionary offering every Thursday night and so they have been collecting for a couple months and it is now time to count it and send it off. And the boys were wishing it was being sent to thier address. :))

This morning was quite the sleepless morning. Travis got up at 4:30am and got ready for work so I woke up as I always do since in a basement it is very dark and so he had to turn the light on to get everything together. So then he was to wake Grandma up when he left, so he knocks on her door and she yelled really loud "WHAT" lol I guess she forgot she told him to wake her up, or thought it shouldn't already be time for that. haha so anyways, then Travis left and Grandma got up and was getting ready since she was catching the bus to HoneyAnn's this morning over in Aberdeen. So the bus stop is a couple blocks away from the church here and so grandma says she is going to walk, well really that is too far for her to walk pulling a suitcase and she is quite elderly you know, 74 I think. So I had told her to wake me up but she of course wouldn't so luckily I was awake and got up and drove her over to the bus stop, especially since it was pouring down rain. So got back here just after 6:30am and got back in bed and finally fell asleep till about 8:00am. So then the boys got all ready to go and cleaned up downstairs and Greg and Cindy arrived a little after 9 to inform the boys that the trip is delayed.

So all is quiet here now.

Last night Jeff and Trena and Maverick came over. We had ice cream and looked at pictures on our computer and visited here in the kitchen. Which is the hot spot in this household. Mostly because the downstairs is just too cold to hang out. So everyone usually stays above-stairs.
