1- Saturday was our 9th anniversary. I kept thinking of all of our other Anniversaries, and all of the things we've been through in our life together. It's crazy how much can happen in 9 years. We had a nice day. I felt really bad because I agreed to go visit my Nana's grave with my Dad and his family earlier in the day, not knowing what Nate had planned (it was his year to plan our Anniversary).... so he had to change his plans a little. But he made it special and we had a good time. Heidi watched the kids while we went to the Gateway. We walked around shopping for clothes for me, but really didn't find anything :(.... time to lose weight. that's all I'm gonna say about that. But we had fun together. Then we went and saw the movie "Date Night". That movie is HILARIOUS!!! I couldn't stop laughing. Nate has my heart. Hopefully he still wants it :)
2-We had the hugest let down ever on Sunday. The people we were going to rent from, who told us we could sign the lease on Monday, called and left a message sometime Sunday morning saying that someone else had signed the lease instead. Of course it had to happen AFTER I told everyone at church that "this might be our last Sunday". I was really bummed. Nate was strong about it and kept saying that things would be okay and probably better since this probably just wasn't meant to be. He's good. I am still having a hard time with it. I just got so excited to finally be in a house again. 5-16-10
3- On Monday we (Kelly, Erika and I- since Charity had her activity days) went to Annie and Marci's baby shower. We had such a great time. Hopefully Claire will share some of her pictures :). Can't wait for these two to be moms, they're gonna love it!! 5-17-10
4- Today I decided to stop and smell the roses a little. In the morning I sat down with Lukey (without nagging him to change into his clothes first) and watched him play a game on the computer. He loved it! And I was really impressed with how good he is at this game. He loved telling me all about it and showing off his skills. Felt good to give him that moment. That's probably why the girls were late for school, but oh well.... can't win 'em all right? I remembered to take some time to read books today as well. It's really been too long since we did one of our marathon book reading sessions (we used to do it all the time, everyone would go get 5 or 6 books and we'd sit and read for hours).... it felt good to do it again. I read books all the time, one or two here and there, but this seems to be really fun for the kids, we get all cuddly and just sit there and focus on the books. It's relaxing. We were there for at least an hour and a half, probably more. The laundry sat there getting bored, but we had a good time! Noah enjoyed "get nudda one?" [getting another one]. When we were at Walmart we took a detour through the toy section (which I haven't done in a while either since I get tired of hearing "will you get me this for my birthday?" when the birthday is MONTHS away). It was really fun to just watch them touch all the buttons and try everything that they could. They really do love to do that. Erika was pretty cute too even. She saw the baby dolls and got really excited. The boys brought a few over to her to look at and she just about died! Well, then I couldn't help it, I had to grab one of the cheap little four dollar ones for her.... she sucked on it and loved it all the way through the store (probably not too sanitary) and then some more when we got it home. I think she likes it :) Then instead of just parking in front of the school 20 minutes early (since we finished our errands early) like I usually do, we stopped at Rocket Park and Brad and Luke got to run around while I fed Erika and Noah slept. Just some of the things I wish I did more often. It's hard to run a family and sit back and enjoy it at the time, but I'm slowly trying to master the art. I've been reading a lot of really helpful hints from the book Charity gave me for Mother's Day.... I really need to bring it in from the car and share those.... good stuff. 5-18-10
5- Erika calmed down when I sang to her in the car! Just had to document it. It's a rare occurence. 5-19-10
6- I got to go to Kelly's Birthday table today at school!! She wanted McD's happy meal and so I delivered :) I was really rushed to get there since I had lost track of time, and I showed up like 3 or 4 minutes late and she was waiting for me at the front doors of the school with the biggest smile on her face :) I love how excited she gets about this stuff. I told her I was sorry for being late and she INSISTED that I was not late :) What a sweetheart. It was nice sharing that time with her. 5-19-10
