Well we had a camp out last night. The ward was supposed to have one and they did but they picked some place that was 70 miles away and we have a big peice of land we can stay on that is only 20 miles away, and with the gas prices so high why go to the place that is so far away. So we decided to go camping on Grandmas property which is the closer one. Eric stayed at the house to get some stuff done and then to get our camping gear out and I went to go do some inspections. I was at this one inspection and I had to ask if this was the right house, and the lady went in to go get her husband and he came out to interrogate me about doing this property. It turns out he is a cop and I was driving my mother in laws van with the texas tags, I couldn't tell him who ordered the original inspection, and he interrogated me with all these questions. Just as he was getting ready to let me go I ran out of gas!!!! I had just put gas in, but I was on a hill so I guess the suction didn't work or something. I don't remember what Eric said haad happened. So I tried to call anybody who was at the house. I sat there for 10 minutes calling again and again, until somebody finally heard the phone! So I told Eric what happened, and he came to put gas in the car. Luckily I was doing one in town and he was only 3 minutes away. So he came and he only had a little gas, and it still wasn't enough to start the car all the way so Eric got in and managed to neutral it down the hill and it started right up at the bottom of the hill. I didn't do that because I was scared with not having any power steering or good brakes. Becuase they were both off during when the car was in neutral. So this guy finally let us go. After he had called in to the company to make sure I was who I said I was. So by the time we got going and got gas after that and then got home we just decided to not go out to grandmas. But we had told Caleb we would go camping so we put the tent up in our back yard. Adn we went to go get smores stuff and Pirate stuff for the next day. We came home, and Caleb had a blast getting the marshmallows on fire! He didn't want to eat the smores he just wanted to catch the marshmallows on fire. Then we told some stories and got out hte glowing sticks and played with those for a while. And then we went to bed. Caleb kept moving around and moaning in the middle of the night about wht I don't know. I assume it was sleeping on the hard ground. I did not particularly care for hard ground, but I made it and I enjoy my soft bed even more now!
Saturday morning we got up and came inside and Caleb was sooo cranky from staying up late and then waking up every hour to roll around or whatever. It was really trying! And then we went to go do some inspections with a FULL tank of gas this time, and we stopped with enough time to go to the Pirate party at the library. He loved it. He and Eric had a sash, and a bandana, and eye patches, and jewelery that looked pirate-ish. And they made a treasure box, and had some salty dogs ( hot dogs), and some barnacle sludge (slightly runny lime jello), and some whale crackers. He then got a picture with the real pirate they invited, he got to sign his name to the Charter for the pirate ship and he got some goodies for being part of the crew, and he got some gold dubloons to put in his treasure chest. He liked it alot. And we got some cute pictures!! Once again I have to wait to put them on here though. I wish I had a card reader on this laptop. It is hard to put pictures on here without one. So I am now going to go do some more inspections. No rest for the money makers! J/K I just need to get a few more done before tomorrow.
AND THE BEST NEWS OF ALL.....I HAVE MY FIRST LISTING APPOINTMENT ON MONDAY!!!!!!!!! ERIC FOUND THIS LADY DOING INSPECTIONS A WHILE AGO AND SHE JUST CALLED ME AND TOLD ME SHE WANTED TO LIST HER HOUSE. WOW!!!! I CAN'T WAIT.

I think the refreshments were cute... Barnacle Sludge, huh? I'm going to have to keep that in mind as a party idea for when I have little ones.
