a whole lotta amish

i am finally getting my first piece of amish made furniture! i don't know if a shed counts as furniture, but i'm going with it. they have a referral deal, so monique and i took a beautiful drive out to gehmans to each get our $50. after we dropped them off, we headed to zimmermans amish market to pick out some flowers for our porch. i just love amish markets. :)

love the barn stars! i just need to figure out where to put it before i buy one.

addie had picked herself a bouquet of dandelions and informed me that she and Frankie were getting married. :) poor franks always has to be the boy.

addie found these mousey cookies that she decided she needed.

and really, how could i say no?

and you really can't go to amish market and not buy a whoopie pie.

after that, we headed over to colleens for a quick meeting. the girls were c-c-crazy, and it was lunchtime, so we didn't last long. i knew franks was fading fast, and it was already 1 (we'd been out for 3 1/2 hours by that point, no small feat for us!) so i grabbed them each a happy meal so she could eat something before she fell asleep. 2 minutes later...

oh well, some plans just don't work.

i seriously picked the wrong day to be out and about all day. i took this pic after waiting for 15 minutes just to get out of our neighborhood to pick up lex and friends from school.

while i was making dinner, delaney started crying, and surprisingly, brother went and picked her right up. she's interacting now and he had fun playing with her and that made mama happy.

lexi took 2 friends to church (she texted me, #missionary!), so i took them, chris, and mccombs up to church and worked on the computer while i waited.

productive day.
