We didn't do much in the way of activities this week, but the girls have been spending their days playing in the pool and riding their bikes. They already have sun-bleached blonde hair and summer brown skin. They come in at the end of the day smelling like a combination of the outside air, sunscreen and sweat. Usually the smell is not something I enjoy and I send them straight to the tub as soon as they're done for the day, but the other night I took a deep breath in and thought it was a smell I wanted to remember forever. My little girls are growing up so fast.
Last Saturday Aaron took the girls to the Pony Express Days parade while I slept after my night shift. I woke up when they got home and we got ready to go to the carnival. The girls had a great time on the rides, we shared a big bag of kettle corn and then went to Texas Roadhouse for dinner. Aaron had promised ice cream so we grabbed a treat at Artic Circle on the way home.
Monday Aaron made dinner for our friends/neighbors down the street, Wendy had knee surgery last week. When I asked her what she wanted for dinner, she jokingly said that they wanted a leg-shaped meatloaf. Aaron has become famous among friends and family for his holiday shaped meatloafs and he was up for the challenge. It turned out pretty well!
Later in the week I was able to sneak a night out for myself with my cousin Jessica. We went to dinner at Cafe Rio and met up with Julia to see a movie. We spent the night in my parents' living room (just like old times) and then went to breakfast the next morning with our friend Amy. It was fun to get away and laugh like you do only with your closest girlfriends. I loved it!
Saturday I tackled a major project, cleaning out and organizing the playroom. The room has been behind lock and key for several months because I was tired of the stuff coming out of there and the messes that kept creeping up in the room. I made a pretty good dent in it on my own and the girls were so excited about it that they helped me for a little over an hour. We're just about done.
Sunday morning I woke up with a headache and I was moving in slow motion. We missed Sacrament meeting but made it for the last two hours of the block. I took a nap after lunch and then we got ready for the night, Aaron and I were both scheduled to work and the girls went to Adam and Jodi's for a sleepover with Lora.
Nothing terribly exciting, but that's what has been going on the last several days.
