5 Joints I HEART! Our SUNDAY!

Today was a LOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG Day! We left the house at 9am and went to church-great message on the GLORY of GOD!

Next Stop-1st HEARTED JOINT....

It is for GOOD REASON that Parents Magazine has rated RED ROBIN one of the top 10 kid-friendly restaurants. Here's why WE drive over an hour to get there..

1. THE WHISKEY RIVER BBQ BURGER-super yum-I split this with Mr. Smearfritz.
2. BOTTOMLESS FRIES-duh what kid/adult doesn't love fries?
3. It's SUPER LOUD in there so our "TRIBE" never causes a commotion no matter how loud they scream.
4. The balloons-keeps our 6 busy the rest of the day!

2nd HEARTED JOINT...

Menards! Why we HEART IT...

1. Anything you could ever want for your home improvement needs & MORE!
2. Lots of wife-friendly stuff too-not just guy junk
3. The "truck" shopping carts that 3 littles can drive and fit in.

During spring-they have LOTS of playground equipment in a GATED area to keep the 6 littles occupied while mom & dad shop.

These 2 could dig in mulch ALL DAY!

New slogan....."SAVE MOMMY'S SANITY AT MENARDS!"

3rd HEARTED JOINT...

All the buildings on our farm. Why I HEART them...

1. I am ALWAYS finding treasures in them.

I found this BIG old bottle up high on a shelf in one of the buildings on the farm yesterday. It was filthy. When I cleaned it. All I saw was "C 1920". I wonder what it was used for??? Moonshine? Olive oil? Any ideas?

Since we have only lived here 7 years-we have no idea where a lot of THE CAPTAIN'S family treasures came from. Isn't it neat?

4th HEARTED JOINT......

PIER 1. Why I heart this store....

1. ALWAYS great stuff on clearance.
2. I found this GREAT pheasant feather wreath for $14. We have pheasant ALL OVER the place here and it made a VERY SMOOTH transition into the cabin.

I decided to hang it over the bed although THE CAPTAIN is in disagreement of this. What do you think?I also found the perfect flowers for my big bottle. LOVE THEM!I had the bottle in about 5 locations. Right now I have it in my command center but I am fearful of breakage so may need to move it.

Would be SICK if one of the littles were to destroy this 1920 treasure!5th HEARTED JOINT....

ANYWHERE with a DOLLAR MENU!!! WHY?

1. I got 6 of these for $6 need I say more?

8 hours after we left our house this morning we are home.

I hope you had a blessed Sunday too!

I'm wiped & going to bed with so much to be thankful for tonight BESIDES my 5 HEARTED JOINTS!
