The Wilson 6 Chronicles

Okay so maybe it has been over a month since I last blogged. In my defense, I have been a little busy- Zachary broke his leg (thus taking away my main assistant while Justin is gone), Justin has been gone a lot, we've been going to football games, Eleanor has been going to dance classes, and all of that one top of the everyday stuff that we have to do. We've done a few things here and there but have been pretty hampered due to Zachary and his crutches but this past weekend, we went to Festifall at Walnut Grove Plantation so I could get my history geek on and let the kids run around like a bunch of heathens. I love any kind of historical celebration or reenactment- I just think that they are pretty cool. And secretly, I think that it would be very cool to do it too. But as you can see, I've got enough on my plate now- I can't even keep up with a blog much less a historically accurate lifestyle. Anyway, the kids and I had a blast at Festifall with my friend Amanda and her crew of kids. The kids all mesh well together, the weather was pleasant, and no one had an absolute meltdown when they fired the cannons. I ended up getting stung by a bee (for the first time ever!) about an inch below my left eye so the day ended on a painful note but otherwise, it was a pretty great day.
