I tell ya, Blogger's really pushing my buttons. I'm gonna have to check out Blogsome, I think.
There are more pics, but it won't let me put them up. There's a whole series of DH and Sweet Girl painting a tea set she got for her birthday, the cool early anniversary present DH brought home, some cute pics of Sweet Girl 'playing' a guitar, and then there's our whole Lagoon trip, plus visiting with the in-laws on Saturday. Maybe eventually I'll get them posted.
But, until I can post pics, I'll blog about my busy week while it's still freshly seared in my brain, LOL.
So… it was a heck of a long week! Monday night DH got home late from helping his dad cut hay (like 9:30) and then we decided for sure to take a trip to Lagoon. I started some laundry and made packing lists. Tuesday we took off to Utah, and when we got there I helped DH unload the truck and get the kids settled, then I was off to a girl’s night out dinner with some of my Utah friends from a private message board I belong to. That was a ton of fun! My mom, sister, her kids and one of my nephews also came down, and on Wednesday we all headed off to Lagoon. The kids, of course, had a magnificent time together. My mom and sister graciously agreed to watch our kids for a few hours at Lagoon, and DH and I took off and went to the Bountiful temple. That was really nice - it’s always nice to get to the temple together, and we love visiting different temples when we’re on the road.
Thursday we went to Lagoon again for a few more hours while Mom, my sister and the kids went to the dinosaur museum, then headed home. On Friday I got to go to Cub Scout Day Camp and help for a few hours. I supervised the water bottle rockets and little alka-seltzer mini-rockets…. it was actually a lot of fun! But I did get a little sunburn - ouch. Within 20 minutes of coming home, DH wanted to leave and go check out some laptops at the local computer outlet, so off we went - with the sprinklers going in the backyard and Little Man kind of needing to be changed, no diaper bag in the car - we were coming back in a half hour, right? Well, after deciding that those laptops were too spendy, we decided to head to Best Buy and price laptops there. Very long story short, 5 hours later we were home with a new laptop and all the ‘necessary’ accessories. The back yard and garden were very well watered! LOL While we were at Best Buy, I called Munchkin and wished him Happy Birthday - poor kid turned 13 in the middle of nowhere, no friends, no party, no card, no cake, only one quick ‘happy birthday, kid’ in the morning from his dad - and he and Kiddo were by themselves all night, since my ex went to work. We got home and to bed late.
Saturday we took off to visit DH's family for the day. We got there just in time for DH to grill the bulgogi - we had a great meal and visited with everyone. DH's mom wanted everyone together to have a combined birthday party for DH and his brother. Sweet Girl had a wonderful day playing with her cousin, who is only 5 months older than she is. I got some great photos of Little Man playing down by the creek. Someday I'll be able to post them.
The only blemish on the day was the conversation I had with my 18-year-old neice:
Neice: Hey, I saw a lady today at WalMart and I thought it was you. She was about the same height, wore glasses, had reddish hair, and was (insert hand motion indicating 8 or 9 months along) pregnant. She really looked like you.
Me: Um. Yeah. Thanks, sweetie. I know I'm fat.
N: No, that's not what I meant. You're not that fat, you're just always pregnant.
Me: Really? Two kids in the ten years you've known me is "always pregnant"?
N: Well, I guess not... but kinda... it seems like it... but, really, you don't look that pregnant...
Me: You just keep digging that hole, hon. Just keep digging.
