update

I have not gotten to cut out my apron yet. I opened the pattern last night and said. "I need my Mommy!" Mom was at the church doing a child care lesson with the enrichment girls, so my kids were there too being entertained and DJ was at mutual. Yeah I could have washed the dishes, cleaned the house. But nope. I don't get my house to myself too often. So I watched project runway and cut out patterns.
This week has been a pretty fun one too. Tuesday we did a play day switch. My friend Michelle to Lucas and her little boy Tyler to the park and to get ice cream. I took Eden and her little girl Meagan. The decided to invite her older girl Rebbecca and my friend Katie's daughter Madeline. After the girls decided to stop chasing the cats, they played dress up, cooked in the little kitchen and did a lot of cute little girl things. It was fun. On Monday I watched Michelle's kids for an hour while she went to the doctor. Wednesday we ran around. I planned primary then visited my friend Michelle D. (a lot of Michelle's this week.) The kids all played. I got to hold he baby she is adopting and enjoy her AC. Then we went to the library. Then off the kids went to the church yea!
Today we are on our way to swim with Tyler and co. I am also feeding the missionaries. tomorrow have a primary meeting. And we are having a Chinese dinner to celebrate the Olympics.

TONIGHT is the So You Think You Can Dance Finale!!!!! So excited yet sad that this season is over. At least I have Olympic swimming (and other games)starting Saturday! I am so excited I love the summer Olympics!

whoa Doggy

So I guess I've got the cleaning bug this week. Kind of. Today I finally when through the kids clothes and took out the clothes that are too small for them. Then I cleaned out the toys. Whew. Organized separated and starred at them for hours. Then the kids came home from grandmas... so much for that project.
Kidding kind of. They are getting toys out but it is sort of organized now. I just have more work to do.

Also thanks to Jana, I am sewing. Or at least getting ready to. Mc Calls patterns are on sale for 99 cents. Yeah!!!! So Mom and I went and bought a ton of patterns and some material. I am starting with a super cute apron. I'll post pictures of my 1st sewing project. I am so excited. I want to go buy the rest of the patterns I wanted.

I am excited to be doing something different from my normal routine. Lucas is excited too I have a pj pattern and a cowboy and Indian pattern too.

Fun stuff!

Happy Birthday DJ

Meal Planing

So I am trying to accomplish an amazing task. Meal planning. I make week-month worth of meal plans. For dinner that is. I have things written down for lunches and breakfast. I also have the staples that are always needed. Like bread, milk, and ice cream.

So basically I am wonder what everybody else does. Where they get ideas. How often the repeat meals. How do you get all the healthy stuff in the day?

Just wanted to know

I need a nap!

It is Saturday and it is a busy morning. I had clean the building this morning at 7am. Then I came home cleaned up and packed up to make it to the church ballpark by 8:40 so I could searve syup to people eating pancakes for 20min. When I was all done with that we hung out. Lucas discovered a dunk tank. All he had to do was throw a ball at a target and people would fall in the water. He thought that was awesome. Eden did too. They were so cute. Then the played in the sand box and Lucas ran around with a water balloon. DJ played ultimate frizbee with his friend Tyler.
IT was hot and humid today.
So since we have been home I have been so tired and the kids are wanting to play and DJ has to work and do homework.
I am so tired right now I could fall over. It has been a long month.

But we are going to dinner at our friend Katie and Tyler's house tonight. Yea I don't have to cook and the kids will have entertainment!! YES!

another day

So Eden likes to cook. I mean she loves to cook. I think it is her favorite thing. So she helped me make lunch yesterday. She had to wear her apron so she would get tomato soup all over her leotard. I think all women should cook in a tutu and an apron. Wouldn't that freak out the husband. hee hee hee

additional comments
-when I was little I constantly cooked with my mom too.
-Eden's apron was mine when I was a little girl.
-ok Jana there is a sneak peek at my kitchen how it always looks, dirty dishes, something cooking, and a kid "helping"
