What a great weekend!

The weekend got off to a great start. I was off on Friday so that I could go take the general knowledge text for my permanent teaching certificate. Brad, Drew & I headed to Gainesville that morning. I passed all 3 parts! Yeah! I didn't study and was a little nervous about not doing so. I freaked out over the Math at first because most of that I haven't thought about since High School, but it all came back to me - thank God! As Brad and I were discussing the test afterwards he referred to it as the High School Equivalency Test. That pretty well sums it up, but at least that is behind me. I hate tests.

Leslie and the boys came home this weekend. Myself, Drew, Mom, Leslie, Hudson, and Raleigh struck out to Orlando Saturday. I'm not sure what we were thinking, but we went to Ikea. It is the new, huge furniture store that just opened a month or two ago. Things weren't too bad taking the two boys out because we always had a extra set of hands between us 3 girls, but now there are 3 boys. All 3 of the boys had meltdowns in the middle of Ikea. Hudson decided he was hungry. Drew saw Hudson's bottle and decided he wanted it. (I took the bottle away about a week and a half ago with no problems.) I guess he saw the bottle and realized hey I want that. He was screaming. This is very unusual for him. Everyone was staring and we quickly ran to the front to check out. While we were in line, Raleigh got upset over Leslie & I joking around with him and he started crying. On top of all of that, they have mostly self checkout lines. So all of us with babies on our hips did self checkout. We were so glad to get out of there.

We went to the mall next which was much better. We ate lunch at the Cheesecake Factory and the boys enjoyed it almost as much as us girls did. Cheesecake Factory is a must when we go to Orlando shopping.

Brad & I went to the Gator Basketball game Saturday Night with his Dad and Brad's friend Allen. We played Kentucky. It was a great game. We ended up going into overtime. We won by about 8 points I believe. Go Gators!

Brad, Drew, and I hung out around here mostly on Sunday and Monday. We worked out in the yard today and washed the vehicles. Drew enjoyed it because he was outside! Here are a few pictures from our weekend.
