A week so full

Why is it that time seems to pass by so quickly, especially when you have many things on your calendar? This past week started just like the other ones... on Sunday. With the 1:00 pm time schedule I seem to take my time since it is often the only morning that Matt is home to help with the kids. (A little break for me) I received a phone call at 8:45 from my Primary President to make sure that I remembered out Bishopric meeting that morning at 9:30. Of course I remembered the meeting, I just had the wrong time, I thought that it was at 10:30 and I was still relaxing in bed. The week started with a Sunday rush and things really didn't slow down all week.

Monday: Laundry, laundry, dishes, try to figure out the smell in the bathroom, more laundry ... etc ( everyone has had one of these days, I hope). Then when Matt gets home it is dinner, FHE and Bedtime for the kiddos. For our FHE activity we went to Benchmark and REI to look at packs for me for our July back packing trip, it was a nightmare. Bailee was getting tired and thus getting hyper.

Tuesday: April Fools Day, of course Mom calls with her normal April Fools joke. She is the Queen of the day and got me again. Turns out that my sister isn't pregnant and I am not either for those that she told that one to. I finally figured out the smell in the bathroom, Bailee had used her potty chair that she hadn't used in a couple of weeks, put the lid back down and returned it to its place as a step stool to the toilet. I don't know why it took me so long to think to look in there. Matt didn't come home until 8 or so because he was helping with another Cub Pack's Den meeting. It was a long day.

Wednesday: Another day of Cleaning and laundry. Bailee had a play date with her friend Rylie, so I was able to run to the store without her to pick up a few things that I needed for the house and a baby gift. Wednesday evenings are always a little crazy because Matt has Scouts, but now they are a little more crazy with me in the Primary presidency over Cubs. Matt and I both had to be at the church at 6:30 so Bailee went to my friends while we were at our meetings. Matt had meetings after scouts so he didn't get home until after 9. After I got home from Pack meeting and got the kids to bed then I had to finish up some things for my baby gift, I always find more ways to make a crazy day crazier.

Thursday: I got up early because I had several things to do before I took Grandma to the airport. It is always so hard for me to leave her at the airport, I feel like I need to taker her all the way to California when she goes. She always wants me to leave her curbside because of the kids, it is the hardest thing to do. After the airport we are off to Matt's office to deliver the baby gift to the girl he works with. We stayed to have lunch with Matt. On our way home we stopped to pick up the pictures I had taken of the kids. Then after Matt got home it was a whirlwind. We had to eat fast because it was Round table night. Things couldn't be easy for us now that I need to attend round table too. I have to be there from 6:30-7:30 and Matt from 7:30-9:00, so Mom came to watch the kids during our commuting time. Whew, what a day!

Friday: Things are finally staring to wind down. Thursday was beautiful outside so I had decided that I would take a walk with the kids only to find that it was overcast, cold and breezy. I didn't make it very far and ended up at my friend Debbie's for a visit. After Matt came home we had a nice dinner and then he took Bailee out for a date. I had planned on scrapbooking while they were gone, but ended up catching up on the cleaning that I didn't do while I was at Debbie's. It turned out to be a nice night after all.

Through it all I still snapped a few picture of the cute things Bailee did with Owen.Everyone needs to use a lid for a hat at some point in their life.
Blocks are always fun when you are three months old, but Bailee thinks that Owen needs to do everything with her.
