Sunday lunch, meteor showers and allergies

Yesterday our neighbors (Lisa and Kevin) took us out to lunch to celebrate that after a year on the market they finally sold their house. (Not the house they are living in now....they are renting that house.) They took us to County Line BBQ. You can see their delicious food at http://www.countyline.com/. It was SO good. I got the brisket and it was so tender. They ordered two loaves of the homemade bread. Oh my gosh!! That is some good bread and they have honey butter to spread on the bread. Lisa and Kevin also insisted everyone order dessert even if they had to get it in a to go box. We ate so much we weren't even hungry at supper time, so we ate our leftovers for lunch today.

We didn't take Sean with us to lunch because I emailed the restaurant and explained Sean's allergies and asked what they had on the menu that was safe for him. They basically told me there isn't anything for him to eat there that would be safe. So we packed him a lunch in his brand new "Cars" lunch box (he is so proud to have a lunch box) and he went home with some friends of ours after church and had lunch with them. It was so nice to not have to deal with a 2 year old at a restaurant and actually enjoy the meal. It did feel strange to be without him too.

At midnight just as Chris and I were headed out to the backyard to see if we could see any meteors, Rebeckah came out to tell us she can't sleep. So she went outside with us. Chris was very impatient and went in not too long after we got out there. Rebeckah and I stayed outside and laid on the trampoline and watched the stars. Rebeckah looked away for a second and missed an awesome one. It was so bright and directly overhead. We stayed out there trying to see more. After a thousand mosquito bites later we finally saw two more. It was funny because we pointed to both of them at the same time and said in unison "There's one!"

Today we are sitting around not feeling so well. I am hoping it is just allergies. We (three out of the five and me) are sneezing and our heads and throats hurt. We got slushes from Sonic and we are just sitting around watching movies and t.v. today. Thankfully today is one of the two days this month we don't have a single thing scheduled to do....not even cheerleading!
