Seriously, where did the week go? It's funny how some weeks fly by much like this one and others just drag. I feel like I have been going in over drive for the past couple of days. I decided just to highlight what went on rather than going into gruesome detail.
-I stripped all the beds this morning and remade them. Painful task, but accomplished all before 7:30am.
-Went on my morning walk. Surprisingly, a little chilly this morning. Nice!
-Stopped off at Sam's Club to turn in some more digital pictures and found this great book for $19.95 and get a diet coke of course. I am hoping it is a motivator to get my photos out of the bags and boxes and put them in until I have time to sit and scrapbook. Maybe in the next century??
-Went to Wal-mart to get some milk and other staples. I did find part of my boys Halloween costume that is in the making. So excited about that!!
-Taylor started dance yesterday which meant.......(really a blog all itself)
-We had to switch her shoes due to buying wrong color the first time (nightmare experience--just imagine chasing Weston around the store while trying to help my daughter pick out shoes.
-My house is a mess. Well, maybe not a mess--but grimy floors, yucky bathrooms you get the picture.
-Decided not to clean because tomorrow is the mother/daughter camp out for our stake. Which means 4 boys home in my house ALONE. Why bother?-Taylor started dance yesterday which meant.......(really a blog all itself)

-Taylor proceeded to tell me at 8pm last night that her ballet shoes no longer fit. What?! You have ballet tomorrow and need your shoes!! Sorry mom I thought I told you.
-Today I went back to the dance store and had to "guess" her size hoping it would work. Once again chasing not only Weston around the store, but Luke decided to knock off a rack of leotards to the ground. AHHH!
-I then took her shoes to school pulled her out of class and tried them on her. Perfect it worked. (I know weird but I didn't want her to get to dance wear them and have them not fit.)
-Came home fed the boys and put them down for a nap. Then Greg insisted on showing Angie and I how to put up a tent. So we would be prepared for tomorrow. Thanks Greg! He sacrificed his study time for this. Now we will know what we are doing and not like two bimbos!! HA.
-Angie was nice enough to watch my kids today during the "bewitching" hours of the day so that Doug and I can go to the temple. When I say bewitching I mean between 3-6pm. She is also serving as my taxi driver taking Taylor to dance and Jared to soccer. I don't think you owe us we OWE you. Thanks a million!!

-Last but not least I am excited to be able to use my temple bag twice in one month. I can't remember the last time that occurred. It really is a miracle. I remember the first time my friends mom gave me this. I was totally freaked out and way freaked out when I saw she had written my "new" last name. I wasn't married yet and it took me a while to adjust.
-Now we are off to the temple and drop off the kiddos. We owe you guys now!
-We had a great session and went to Double Dave's Pizza for dinner. Doug has been talking about going here for about a month. So finally I caved and we went there for dinner.

I have no idea where the week went. It seems like just yesterday that we were at Fiesta Texas.
I'm so jealous you got Taylor's dance sjoes taken care of. I dread doing that but I have decided that I am only going when I don't have Maryn. Just the few minutes we were in the dance store yesterday was more than enough for me.
I'm kinda realeaved that we ARE going to look like we know what we are doing. I've been camping alot but never had to set up a tent without experienced help. Okay that sounded like I think you are unexperienced at camping, but that's not what I meant. I have always had Greg, my Dad, or others to doing it and I helped them out.
You never owe me. That's what friends are for I thought. You had my three PMSers on Tuesday and you even took all seven out for dessert. That's insane. We will be fine. Hope you have a fun date night.
A mother daughter campout--is that a Texas thing too? I've never heard of that happening, but it sounds like so much fun!
I think this week has been universally crazy. It's the holiday at the begining of the week. I think Friday three day weekends are so much better.
Mother/daughter campouts?. Very fun. Do you get a good turnout? some of the ladies in my ward are a bit wussy so I can understand how they might not be a hit everywhere but I'd totally be in. Now I just need a daughter!
Very impressed with all of your temple outings. I don't even want to admit the last time I've gone. It seems when you get complacent about not going you can really lapse. You'll be my spiritual pillar to lean on.
Great post!
Amy and Lucy,
I thought mother/daughter campouts were universal throughout the church! Guess maybe I am wrong. They have been having one in our stake for a LONG time. I have never gone and said I was for the past 4 years. So I think its time since Taylor has been begging.
First of all...how do you strip all of the beds and remake them by 7:30 am? Aren't your kids still sleeping in them???
I want to know what great book you bought @ Sam's Club.
Aren't you sick of buying shoes? I can't tell you how many pairs were "misplaced" somewhere. And the ones that we can find are starting to get too small.
Jana-actually the motivator there was my kids are really all up by 6:30 for school because we have to leave the house by 7:30am. Texas schools are rather long meaning they start at 7:40am and end at 2:50pm. They also have all day kinder. Anyways so we are all up by then.
The book I bought was just two leather black binders that hold 600 photos. You just slip them in. I have way more than that, but I thought that would be a good start.
Wow, you had a majorly productive day. I'm with Jana wondering about how you stripped and remade the beds by 7:30? I'm glad our school doesn't start so early, though I'm sure it's satisfying to get so much done so early in the day.
I'm impressed you went to the temple twice in one month, you and Angie are inspiring me.
Wow Jenny, just reading about your day sometimes, makes me tired! But, maybe I should get motivated and have days like this too!
i'm glad i'm not the only one in love with diet coke. i can't and won't go a day without it. hahaha.
With such busy days, how do you find time to blog so well!!! I just started a new job and it has consumed me - hence the lack of posts.
I want to put all my photos in albums, too. Currently they're all hidden away in boxes where no one can enjoy them. And at the rate I scrapbook, they may never see the light of day otherwise! Sounds like you had a very productive day -- so satisfying.
I agree, where does the time go? I think that it gets sucked into a huge black hole.
I love the tale of the dance shoes. Good guesser you are!
How nice to be able to enjoy the temple with your husband, I'm sure you treasure those 2 hours.
