Not Done Yet

It is now 9:30 and I am still not done getting everything ready to go. I have one last load of laundry that I am waiting on. ARGH. Did I mention that I have to get up at 5:30 to get me and the kids dressed before our ride arrives? But it will all be worth it. I am so very thankful to a friend for offering to take us up on her way to visit her sister. Hopefully I will soon be able to drift off to sleep.

No Pictures

I know I haven't been posting for a while but I lost the cord to my camera so I can't upload any photos. It bothers me not to be able to put a picture with the post. In a few days a lady in my ward is going to drive me and the kids up to Keri's house so that we can all go to St George once Dustin is done working. I'll be gone for eight days and am going crazy trying to make sure everything is done and that I pack everything I need. For now I am trying to relax by eating ice cream and watching The Golden Girls.

New Table

This is our new table with 8 chairs. Dustin's parents picked it up for us and helped (mostly did it by themselves) put it together. I'm excited! YEA. Now when my friends come over on Tuesday we can all sit at the table instead of on the couch.

Poor Squirrel

On the way home from Relief Society Conference tonight Brennden says, "Mom, you ran over that squirrel. He was my buddy. Why didn't you stop?" I have no idea if I really hit a squirrel but I was surprised by his comment. Buddy? Okay then. I hope is buddy is happy in heaven. I told Brennden that I didn't see him because he is so small and that is why he needs to hold my hand in the street. His response, "You should just look lower." Leave it to Brennden to come up with something like that.

I survived!

I am soooo glad Sunday came and went. I am still trying to recover. Charity woke up at 12:00 midnight and continued to cry and scream off and of until 1:30 in the afternoon. AHHH!!! Needless to say I didn't make it to church. Did I mention that I didn't even get to bed till 11:00 Saturday? I was running on 1hr of sleep. I also had to make sure that Dustin's things were all packed for him to go to Salt Lake once he made it home from Albuquerque. Dustin ended up leaving here at about 8:30 at night in a down pour. A big one! I couldn't get to sleep until close to 11 again and I made Dustin call me every so often because I was worried about the weather and him driving alone so late. I am excited to hopefully be able to sleep well tonight.

Breakfast

When Brennden get up early we can usually just turn on the tv and he will be okay for a little bit while we sleep for another 30 minutes. Well today was different. He went and woke up Charity so she never called for us to come let her out of her room. This allowed us to sleep for 2 hours instead. (We had a late night) During which Brennden decided to get breakfast going. He got a bowl and a box of cereal out. This time it happened to be Fruity Pebbles which pour quickly. He poured the entire new box out everywhere. I guess he then decided that he didn't want cereal anymore because he got half a block of cheese out. He got a butter knife out (thank goodness) and cut it in half for him and Charity to share. It must have taken him some time and strength to manage that one. Shortly after this Charity came into our room to get us and that is when we notice the cheese and cereal mess. Golly!

Thinking back though, Brennden has been eating a lot lately so maybe he thought he was starving. He has been eating none stop for the last couple of days. Yesterday he ate, 4 bowls of cereal, two hotdogs, 4 bowls of applesauce, mac-n-cheese, and half an apple. Oh, and half a sandwich. Yeah,I don't know where he is putting it all but I do expect a growth spirt coming up soon.

Chicken Chasers

Dustin has been helping some friends build a new chicken coop for the last couple of days. Today all of us went over. Brennden and Charity got to go inside the coop and chase the chickens. Brennden even caught two of them! I wish that I had taken my camera. It was great fun to watch them have so much fun. Now I have to go clean their shoes. They stink!
