My house of munchkins

A southern mom trying to raise her kids in a crazy world.

The shed

Saturday was a long day.  I was up at 4 a.m. I left my husband and three kids sleeping the morning away.  I loaded my Explorer with my last few boxes and headed to my sister’s house.  We were having a yard sale.  Normally I’m the one stopping at yard sales, but I desperately needed to get rid of some stuff.  I did too!  $110 worth of stuff!  Yay for me!

After our long morning, I went home to dress for some school shopping with Abbey.  I was tired, but a promise shouldn’t be broken!  We shopped for hours.  She tried on so many pairs of jeans.  Abbey is so long legged and skinny, nothing fits.  It took us a while to find the right pair, but it did happen.  She was just way too cute.  I almost didn’t buy them…. I wouldn’t have had she been at the “I like boys” stage.  Thank goodness that’s not happening right now!  Anyway, we checked out.  Guess how much!  You got it… all my mornings hard work spent on my sweet little girl.  Hmm…. is that a sign?

We went home and lounged around for a bit.  I was really tired.  Zack would not lay down for a nap.  Jason was helping a friend and wouldn’t be back for a while.  I called my sister.  She insisted I come back over.  I did with little fuss!  I got there and literally was about to pass out.  We discussed what could be wrong.  Too much heat?  Too tired?  What had I ate?  ummmm…. nothing.  I didn’t have time.  Yard sale, then shopping no time in-between.  So we headed to one of my favorites.  SONIC!  LOVE THAT ICE! 

On the way out the door Abbey asked to eat in the shed.  We all hooted at her.  THE SHED??!!  HA HA!  Seems that little Miss Abbey had seen some people eating on the tables outside at Sonic.  Her word exactly, “Mama, I needed to try out the shed.  Seems everyone is doing that now days.”  ummmm another sign?

We ate at “the shed” It was fun and I felt better the minute I ate one single french fry!  No joke.   Next time you go to Sonic you have got to try out ”the shed”  It was so fun!

Our nice waitress... do you call them that?

 Nieca…. poor thing always has ALL the kids!

Zack learned how to drink from a straw under “the shed”, but noooo… Aunt Nene lets him stick his hand in the cup! 

Now don’t you all want to try out a nice Route 44 Diet Coke under “the shed”?

    Ok, I was so thinking you were about to tell us you were pregnant again!!!!

    And girl you really racked up on the yard sale money! I bet y’all had a great time together.

    P.S. Talking about “The Shed”…did you know there’s a real BBQ place on the coast called “The Shed”? We ate there this past October. And the ‘regulars’ there call theirselves “shedheads”….It’s some good BBQ, but it basically looks like an old shed and you go in and order your food and then sit outside. And they always have live entertainment going on. So when you mentioned “The Shed”, that’s the first thing I thought of. Boy, that Abbey sure has an imagination!!!!

    I love the pics.

    I will try out the shed one of the days. We have tried the Belden shed.

    I can’t believe you are school clothes shopping already. You are on the ball, woman! I too love Sonic ice. Nobody has better ice.
