Five For Friday

1. I was so happy that after 4 days of walking solo, Angie was able to join up with me again this morning. My boys missed Maryn as well and continued asking everyday where is Maryn? Is she sick? Is she going to school? It's definitely going to be tough not having them down the street in a few short months.

2. After reading this funny post by my friend Chanel. I have poop on the brain (or at least my house does) Luke has an interesting way of talking sometimes. He talks out of the side of his mouth. I have no idea where he got it. Doug claims that my dad does the same thing (sorry dad). Anyways, I was doing something in the kitchen the other day and Luke came in (doing his side talk) and said "MOM YOU HAVE TO COME HERE QUICK!" I told him I would be there in a minute and he replied with a NO, you have to come now and look what Jared did...... HE TOOK A POOP AND LEFT A MARK! You have to come and clean it right this minute--it's disgusting!! I could not stop laughing because he was so serious and of course exaggerated "the mark" in the toilet out of proportion hmmm I wonder where he gets this from? (I tend to say something is extremely messy when in reality it's not). Don't worry there is no documented image. Luckily a few flushes cured the issue and I cleaned it this morning just to make sure.

what do you think?

3. I went to Target the other day to pick up a wedding gift. I have been trying to avoiding Target and any stores for that matter. I tend to buy things that I don't really need and if I don't see it I can't buy it. I was reminded again after going to the checkout. Walking up and down the aisles I spotted this on the clearance rack. I am not sure if I am sold on it yet, hence the tags. But it was too cheap to pass up $16.00. Not to bad for a new dress-- the bummer part was the green shoes in my closet I thought matched are the wrong shade.

Happy with filled tummies

4. I drove Angie out to their new house since I haven't been out there in a while. Her house is coming along faster and faster each time I go out there! It looks so great now that the brick is up. I am not sure she would ever post it for fear she was bragging, but I will be happy to brag for her. It's a beautiful home and I am anxious to see it when it's all done. The kids were screaming in the car so we caved and took them to Mickey D's to play. I can't even remember the last time I have been there. The funny thing was Luke asked, are really going there? I guess he was pretty surprised we were actually going into play. Too funny.

San Antonio Temple

5. After Doug received his official "pass" on his boards the other day I decided it would be appropriate to go to the temple. I feel after months and months of prayer I feel we have been extremely blessed with a new job and now having Doug board certified. We have been so busy lately and who are we kidding life doesn't slow down unless you allow it too. I called and made our appointment Tuesday for this evening and we are going on a date. We had a goal to go at least once a month, tonight is a start.

Halloween package from Michelle

6. Okay so I broke the rules and added a #6. I couldn't forget to add in my good mail from Michelle A. She was so sweet and crocheted me these pumpkins and a few other goodies for Halloween. She has an amazing talent. I have them up already on a bookshelf. Thanks Michelle!

good deed: dropped off a bridal shower gift

P.S. Did anyone catch this last night? I couldn't stop laughing at the "Run for Rabies...." I think I may have to watch it again.
