Busy Days!

Well, sorry about the lapse! We have had several busy days! Friday was a fun night, taking Grant to the circus! It is always fun to be able to do activities with the boys one on one. The circus was good and we ate a ton of junk food. Let's see, popcorn, pizza, grande nachos, a hotdog, giant pretzel, soda and a must have, cotton candy. Mark had never been to a circus and he enjoyed it although I tried to tell him it was nothing compared to the three ring circuses I grew up going to.

Saturday I made a lasagna for a family in our church that had a baby, and got the house cleaned up. That evening our very good friends the Dietz's came to visit. They are such dear friends and it is wonderful when we get together because we just order pizza and hang out. No worrying about trying to make a fancy meal. I didn't even give them real plates, just paper. The kids had fun playing and wrestling. Between our two families we have 5 boys! Where are all the girls? Hopefully we will have ours soon! (We are going to get you one Jennell, whatever it takes :)

Sunday we continued to deal with the ongoing rain. We went to church and then later went back for the annual Fall Festival. They had to move everything inside but it was alot of fun. There were tons of games, crafts, balloon animals, face painting and food. We all had a fun time! Grant got a plane painted on his arm and Alex got a pirate patch, although it looked more like he had gotten into a bar fight by the time I saw him, pictures to follow! Monday I tried to get onto the computer but I couldn't seem to get it to turn on. I don't know what the problem was but it is working now.

Monday was not too exciting but that was ok because we needed to have a catch up day. Today was a school day for Grant and we all went out to breakfast. After dropping off Grant, Alex and I headed to the gym. So far, I am doing good with getting there on Tuesday and Friday. And so far Alex still screams like crazy when I leave him in the childcare area. This evening Mark took me out to dinner for my 25th birthday :) O.K. maybe not 25 but close enough right? We went to Logan's Steakhouse and then to Coldstone Creamery for ice cream. I am very blessed to have so many family and friends who called and sent cards to wish me a Happy Birthday! I am a very lucky girl! Thanks to all of you!
