best purchase ever

Hello folks, what a day right? It was one of those days where you want to just lay out in a hammock and relax. Unfortunately, I had to go to Ikea instead. Bought some furniture for the school and went to pick t up. Fortunately, they have a pretty good system and I just pulled up to the pickup area and got the stuff. Brought it to the school and dropped it off. No assembly today, it's Sunday and I want to send the last day of the boys Christmas break with them. They had the longest break ever it seems. No complaints here. Didn't have to get up early and make breakfast, pack lunches and drop off. Well, back to it tomorrow. Trent decided to take the 4 wheeler out today, and learned a valuable lesson. Even thought the weather is perfect for 4 wheeling, the ground is not. He got that thing so stuck that we had to wench it out with another 4 wheeler. Luckily, his is only a 90 cc and pretty small.

So, the best purchase ever we made as a family was our hot tub. There is nothing better when you legs a sore and your body is beat from requirements and classes (and pulling 4 wheelers out of the mud). It always feels good getting out. I highly recommend one.
