Yep that's them....he he he.
Since my husband works out of town our weekends are always pretty crazy but this past weekend was extremely crazy. First off we have a family reunion/camping trip coming up so my husband is working a really weird schedule to fit it in and therefore didn't get home till dinner time on Friday night but leaving Sunday afternoon instead of having a week off. To make the most of it Saturday was spent doing random work at home that needed both of us followed by a nice family dinner at my mother-in-laws with us leaving the kids there. Sunday was spend with the two of us doing some more garden work and clean up from the day before, again trying to get as much help from him since he was leaving after lunch. Now here comes the crazy, hubby drove my truck the night before and noticed with in seconds that my brakes were squishy. We noticed a few weeks ago that something was up but since time is very limited right now we planned on waiting till hubby had another week off.
Nope!!
Sunday our plans changed, on the way over to get the kids and have lunch, there was a bit of fluid on the ground where the passenger tire was. Hubby got out and checked sure enough, brake fluid! My brakes needed done immediately since we planned on driving the truck over 100 miles this coming week and he didn't want to try to rush and do it when he got home (the night before our trip) in case something went wrong. We figured its better to give up our early arrival day in exchange for hubby going to work late to fix the brakes. Thankfully my mother-in-law kept my kids so we could run in with her car and get parts.

Luckily brakes were done pretty quickly Sunday night (at least in my opinion it was quick) and hubby made it to work only a bit late since he waited till early morning to drive down.
Hoping he can make it home at a good time on Wednesday to help me load the truck, if not I think my kids are excited enough for the weekend they may do it by themselves.
Until then I am a cooking and packing fool ready for camping!!
On a side note, that rain I requested the other night came a tiny bit. The entire time we put the brakes back together and bled them it lightly sprinkled. Not enough to really wet the dirt but enough to cool the outside down nicely and it even continued to sprinkle off and on all night. The garden loved it and needed to be rain delayed but you couldn't even tell it rained on the rest of the ground.

Well good night all off to walk the dog one more time and hit the sack!!
