Random Thoughts

Yesterday the whole fam (sans Michael; he was at school) went to Temple Square. It was a good time. S & S had fun running around and climbing the stairs at the temple. I got a picture, but D currently has the camera, so I can't upload it. D is working on a paper (which is actually a lesson plan kind of paper) about temple symbolism and he needs to include visual aides... hence the photos.

This morning I am again supposed to be on my way to the gym. My fabulous friend is back from Mexico and can take them Wednesday mornings again so I can have a break. WOOHOO!! Problem is Seth is still asleep (again). I swear that boy is ruining my workout regimen because if I can find any excuse not to work out I usually will. Even though I really do LOVE a good workout. This particular excuse is not really a small one though because if I wake him up and try to quickly get him ready, I will find myself with a whining, yelling, uncooperative little boy on my hands... ALL DAY. So I wait and tell myself that I will go as soon as he gets up, because after all I don't need reservations today (like I did Monday, when I also didn't go for same reason). But Monday I was going to go at about 10:30 when the popular morning classes were over and I wouldn't need a reservation as there would be space in the playroom.................. I should probably just wake him up now.

Did the grass grow???

Yes it did!!

Here is Dean with a few of our scouts... we teach the Wolves!

A couple of our scout boys just LOVE Sadie. Don't know why, she's 2 they're 8, interesting LOL.

Heaven Help the Future Homemaker

A dish towel in the flour, you ask? Well, my little Sadie just LOVES to clean the floor. Just never thought she'd do it with flour.


I realized I have much to be thankful for after my friends husband asked if she had used water too. OH MY!! Thank goodness, no!!

The culprit declined her photo op at the scene of the crime but consented to this one.


How can you get mad at that face?

Testing...

Tried cleaning off the lens... did it work?


It appears so. Therefore, let me explain. This my friends, is my-- or rather the kids' playroom. The towels on the floor are my attempt to start picking things up and take them downstairs. One towel is for dishes... yeah, what happened to the no-food-upstairs rule??? The other towel is for dirty clothes. WHY do I not just dress my kids downstairs!!!?? Pink splotch on right side of window, Sadie's artistic creativity... the girls in this family suffer from artistic differences... her art is everywhere else too. Child #3 in photo is my friends child... you know the one who I mentioned swapping with... tomorrow is my free day and I am doing the gym then lunch with Meg. Ahh sweet, temporary freedom!!

Watching the Grass Grow

Yep sure looks like the kids might have messed up my lens. GAH!! Is nothing safe? Anywho, here is the grass growing.

Memory Lane

I got this off of a friends blog and as she said I also lack the creative ability to come up with something like this on my own, so please play along.



MEMORY LANE
This will be fun! This is just too fun to pass up. Here are the directions:

1. As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn't matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember! I guess good or bad, but be nice!!!!!!!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. If you don't want to play on your blog, or if you don't have a blog, I'll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Backyard is started!!!

Yesterday, our backyard finally got hydro-seeded! YAY! For those of you who have no idea what I am talking about... we had grass seed mixed with a bunch of green fibrous goo laid in our backyard, so in a couple weeks the kids can go out and play on the grass. Before this time they can really only play on the trampoline (which we got because our kids never got outside). They could play in the dirt, but I really discourage this because I really only like to bathe them Saturday nights. OK I bathe them more, but I try to as seldom as possible and playing out in the dirt just sounds like a lot more work for ME!

My mom and sis-in-law were here again last night and stayed the night sans niece who is now up at college. Poor thing thinks she was just dumped in the middle of nowhere... well, she is in the middle of nowhere, but she was hardly dumped. Mom and sis-in-law kindly took everything into her dorm for her instead of leaving it on the curb. No worries, ABA... you are LOVED!!

I am off to take pics of hydro-seeding so you can all educate yourselves. Will post them in a bit!!
