Playing catch up...

This week we had computer problems SO no blogging was going on but it was a crazy week.
Went on a field trip with Ashton's class on Tuesday to the Getty Center, no pictures, forgot camera. :(
We had such a great day, I just chaperoned Ashton and Eliza G. and they were absolute angels.
They were interested when I was telling them about different things we saw in the museum and I would actually read the captions to them and they would listen.
We LOVED the garden.
We sat on the big tiles in the middle of the water in the fountain area and felt like we were on our own little island.
We loved the Paris exibit.
We loved the tram ride.
We loved our day!
One of the mom's said when we were waiting for out last tram back to the car that she can't tell you how many times they got yelled at by the Museum staff. One person even said to her, you have to watch them and the mom replied, I'M TRYING! Another mom said her stress level is up to here and she motioned above her head. So glad I had the two little angels that I had because we never got yelled at and we loved every minute. NO STRESS! :)
On Wednesday I had Sophi's boy's for an hour or so after I got Ashton from school and I got to watch and snuggle Lucy too! That was a great day!
Kimi babysat the kids that afternoon into the night because Jake, I and Janelle went to the 4:30 session and we got to be there for the Chapel session with the Stake.
My kids LOVE Kimi! They even got to make brownie cookies, play HORSE (basketball) and watch Evan Almighty! She is so FUN!
Friday Sierra had a retainer checkup and she gets to stop wearing her retainer. So her fang teeth can move down. She was excited. We went and did recycling and Sierra made $32. Jake and Ashton went to baseball practice while I reorganized the garage. Then Jake had to go back to work, then mow the lawn. I went and picked up pizzas.
Saturday was crazy...
My mom and I did a garage sale at her house with the rest of the track. Sierra and Ashton both sold stuff too! My mom made cinnamon rolls and Sierra sold them for $1. Friday night Jake and I put out some things on the sidewalk with free signs. Our BBQ that was falling apart. Our tugboat sandbox and our kids picnic table that was falling apart too. A funny story, the BBQ was the first to be taken by a guy with a huge trailer attached to his truck. Then we saw one of the neighbor kids pushing the sandbox up the street to his house and next thing I know I see the picnic table being pushed up the grassy hill by another neighber kid to his house across the street. SO FUNNY! YAY, mission accomplished. :)We finished the garage sale while Jake went and moved Bill. Dropped off our leftovers at the goodwill truck. Went to Ashton's baseball game. Then Jake had to go do an Open House for a Realtor. While I got my lesson ready, reorganized the house after selling furniture and needed to find new places for things. Vacuumed. Made waffles and eggs for dinner. Ironed. Made cookies for my lesson. Finished laundry while watching Narnia #3 with my family. Didn't sit down with my husband until about 10:30pm but finally enjoyed time with him.
