Well I will just do a quick recap of the last couple of weeks.
Jen is just so busy with work and school, she just has so much on her plate, good thing its only temporary, she just has to get though the next year or so.
I pretty much just got the kids to and from school and Gymnastics for Brooke, fixed meals and tried to keep the house cleaned up, Reed was really busy with work also, he had to work through the night a few times, that is always hard !
Had the kids out of school on Friday the 8th, so Jen took the day off, and her spring break starts today any way so we went to the Museum with the kids, it was so fun, then later that night Reed and I went on a date, dinner and a movie, we went to the Great Wizard of OZ, fun movie, we enjoyed it.
Sat the 9th Reed and I went on a nice walk up the CVS for his RX's and on so we got a nice walk in, then we went to the mall to get dad a gift for his 80's Birthday - I really wish I could have been there for this big day, I just can't believe he is 80 !!!
The 13th is Wednesday and Brooke Gymnastics class - Its just the cutest thing how much Brooke loves her Gymnastics class, she prays for it in every prayer she says, she is doing really well in her class, Jen and I took a nap as soon as we took Brooke to School, so we will be able to stay awake to get Steph tonight, we are all so excited to see her and spend some time with her.
Right after we got the kids to bed we decorated for Ben's Birthday - then at 10 pm we drove up to Dayton to get Steph. the drive wasn't to bad and we had a fun visit on the way back home.
The next day we started off with taking the kids to school, but stopping at the store first to pick up donuts for Ben's class for his birthday, so we pickup up the rest of the stuff for Ben's dinner tonight.
Then off to Kentucky for the Gap Outlet, we did some serious shopping, or at least I did, Jen did a good job too, Steph not so much, but she had to fly and didn't have the space to take much - she got a few things - I got a lot of cute things, so excited to wear them.
We had to limit our time there, which was a good thing or we would have spent the entire day there - We had to get Brooke to school, after dropping her off we went to Lunch at the mall at an Italian Restaurant called Maggianos, it was really so yummy and so much fun to have both my girls with me to just hang out, so much fun.
Ben had Hammer tonight so we had a later then normal dinner for him and the dinner he picked was Mac and Cheese and Pigs in a Blanket with Root Beer Floats for dessert - it was a fun dinner and then presents, which was and always is the best part. - I thinks he had a good time.
Another busy day - we started the day taking Brooke to her Gymnastics class then back home to get the games for Ben's party planned out and we had to setup for the party, he had 6 friends come over at 5, Steve went to go get Patti, she flew in at about 4, the party was a success and the kids had a great time. Steph and I took a short walk, to get out of the craziness.
Saturday March 16th, Dads Birthday and Ben's Baptism - Called my dad today for his Birthday, he sounds great and is happy to be at work, they will be going out for his Birthday for an early dinner.
I sent him 2 shirts early in the week hopefully he got them and they fit, I got Mediums, kinda worried they may be to small.
Busy morning, we had to get the cookies made and load up all the stuff to take - and we did forget a few things anyway, but it all worked out great - we served cookies, Lemon bars, cake and a slush drinks for after the Baptism. It was a nice program - I said the opening prayer and Steph was the 1st speaker on Baptism and Ben's Primary teacher spoke on the Holy Ghost and Patti did the closing Prayer, the Bishop Presided and spoke at the end - it was very nice.
Jenn had the Miller's ( they are some really good friends from Appleton, that have moved about 4 hours north of Medeira here in Ohio ) come over to the house after and we had Chicken salad sandwiches and fruit, veggies and more of all the left over treats, nice for the kids to play with there old friends from Appleton.
Later in the evening John and Linda took the kids out to dinner and the mall, Patti, Reed, Steph and I stayed home and watched a movie and ate popcorn, so nice !!
I got myself packed up for our ride tomorrow, I'm excited to go where its hopefully warmer, so I didn't pack winter clothes - I maybe sorry !!!
