Busy but not really

BigA cutting Bryan's hair
BigA took LittleA's picture after haircuts

We have been "busy" the past few days. Thursday we did haircuts (the ONLY thing I have pictures of, sorry). Friday we went to my parents' house, to get ready for the game on Saturday: buy brisket and start cooking it around midnight, upgrade Dish package to be able to watch game, borrow truck and Mike, leave boys with Papa, Matt, &Katie to go get freezer from Temecula. Stayed late on Saturday, unloaded the freezer and had a "fun" time getting it where I wanted it, next to the dryer. We moved the dryer at least 3 times, the washer, we moved and put back, and the freezer too many to count- but it is in and working and Grandpa's beef is in it! Sunday, we went to church (after a little earthquake, that Bryan barely felt but I felt it) where I took over as the Nursery Leader (not just a follower) and then rushed home to change clothes and head over to the Clark's to go to a park, eat dinner and enjoy lovely conversation with the Hales and Clarks. Dinner was great and I made the brownies Ann suggested, which I thought were pretty good but messy for a warm evening at a park. The boys had a fabulous time playing with the kids - and Kathy- and getting dirty. Monday, we headed to my parents' house to return the truck and to hang out. After Bryan took the boys swimming, the "men" went to Cal State to play games, BigA went and played Playhouse Disney while they played their shot-em up games. LittleA went with Mom & me to Kinko's and Home Depot. Ate dinner, Matt gave a wonderful FHE lesson on the prophet, played Settlers while the boys watched Shrek 2 and then home late again. Today, we had playgroup come here to swim. I LOVE that BigA will swim now and LittleA will choo-choo around the pool. I have been meaning to take photos of that but always seem to forget my camera. I also forgot my camera when we went to the park with Heather, I am hoping she will send me all the photos that were taken (hint, hint). Tomorrow, the cable guy is coming to "fix" the tiling and Mom is coming for lunch. Thursday, a few of us from playgroup are going to Disneyland. And then football on Saturday. So I hope I can clean and rest a little this week. I will try to be better about the camera- because I know ya'll are dying to see what we are doing.

You were wicked busy. Did you take a breath while you typed all of that?

Why is a cable guy fixing tiling? What is the story with that?

Go Cougs!

I think it's funny you were a nursery follower before.

"Tiling" with cable is when the picture is blocky, tiles of the picture are missing. And since we are paying for our HD channels, we should be able to enjoy them.

Glad you clarified the tiling thing...I think we all pictured tiles on the floor. :) You WERE busy over the week! Is that a freezer like you said you always wanted? Maybe I'm remembering wrong. Your calling is Nursery Leader? (I have to say you were a great "follower" as I was the "Leader." I really felt like you should be the leader... I didn't even know the kids!) Craig and I were put in as primary teachers. (Even though I'm not there, yet.) Good luck with finding time to rest. What else to do have planned for Saturday???? You can't celebrate your BIRTHDAY *just* watching football!!!! ;)

Misty- We are GOING to the football game, it is in Pasadena and all of us are going. Hopefully I will take my camera and have pictures to post. There is talk of going to the LV game and the San Diego game as well. This game is a trial run for the boys, we will see how they do on Saturday to see if we are willing to try it again.

Okay, I get it now. Going is better than watching from home. I'd be mad at Craig if he took me (group or not) to a football game for my birthday...but maybe you like it more than I do. :) Have a fun day doing what ever you do!!!!

Nursery again?!? Have you guys had any other calling in the last few years?

Have a happy game on Saturday!
