Spring Break

The week is almost over. It went by so fast, yesterday I was thinking about it and it seemed more like a weekend than a whole week. It was a good week, with not much fighting between the kids or them with me. Pat was also on vacation so maybe that helped? Monday afternoon Pat and I both took Sarah to her gymnastic class, that was fun, to share that with him. Tuesday I took the kids to the mall and had Joseph's pictures taken, and we had lunch. When we arrived at the mall it was sunny, 4 hours later when we're leaving it's pouring! We didn't do much on Wednesday other than going to our church small group that evening. Good thing we rested up, and there was no school we didn't leave until after 10 PM. Thursday, Pat took Joseph to Sedona for them to fish. They went to a trout farm, so it didn't take much to catch 5 fish. (one for each of us, I hope I like it) The girls "helped" (HA) me paint the family room door. I was very very thankful Marlene came over and helped me finish the door and paint a kitchen wall. The colors really liven the place up! :) Friday I used the kids' help in cleaning, they were doing such a good job, (no complaining and not much fighting) we did more just the basic stuff. A little Spring cleaning done, YEA~ Friday night we had family over to help Joseph celebrate his birthday. He was a smiling happy boy all night. Saturday morning, I had to get up way to early to take Joseph to a school were he was meeting his scout troupe to go to White Tanks, for a day/night of hiking and camping. After dropping him off, I went back to bed. I was so tired, up late, then Pat waking me up at 2 AM, then Rachel coming in at 5, she had had a bad dream, I was so tired I couldn't even understand what she was saying, I just let her get in bed with me, it seemed the easiest thing to make her go back to sleep so I could. In the afternoon we went to a church picnic for the children's ministry. When we got home at 7, we watched a movie with the girls "Because of Winn Dixie" It was a cute movie, the girls liked it a lot. After we put them to bed Pat and I watched "Friday Night Lights", I fell asleep right at the end of the movie, so when I woke up I had to ask, "who won the game?" Opps! After church this morning, we went to lunch with 2 other families from church that was fun and yummy (Nothing but Noodles). I was going to rest for a few minutes while Joseph showered and then watch a movie with the kids, I woke up when it was over half over. He told me when he was done showering, Sarah came to get me, I said I'd be right there to both of them, I blew it, I just couldn't wake up, thankfully they've forgiven me. I guess it been a long weekend that lasted a week!
