My weekend.

Well I hadn't posted in a few days so I thought I better.

Things were kind of crazy around here. Jeremy has had a lot of work which I am so thankful for but it has also meant that I have more to get done around the house. I dont know why I struggle so badly with keeping up this house but I do. Sometimes I wonder if it goes back to growing up and having to help run the house when i was a teenager. I mean I understand kids need to help but I felt like I did everything including taking care of my little brother. I try really hard not to make my kids "run" the house. I will ask them to do things here and there but not ALL the time. They do have to put their clothes away and make their bed regularly but that is pretty much it. So I am trying to get myself back together and focused on my tasks at hand.

This weekend we had the older kids. We were supposed to go to Family Game Night at church but had some problems with a car Jeremy was working on and didn't end up going. Saturday, Jeremy was gone until around 3 looking at cars. So the kids helped me get some more of their Lego sets back together so the pieces weren't all randomly thrown in one BIG bucket. That night I had thought we were going to hang out as a family and play games and what not since we had not done that in a while. Well Jeremy had mentioned Go Karting. I like it but really wasn't feeling it that night. Brooke had been asking to go see the Justin Bieber movie "Never Say Never" and her mom had said we were all gonna go but it hadn't happened yet. So I finally decided that that night would be a good night to go. So I talked to Jeremy and we decided that we were going to have a girls night. So Brooke and I went to dinner and a movie just the two of us. I love being able to go out with her and do things together. I know she loves it and craves it! She gets very upset when she is not getting attention so it was good for her and me to have a night to ourselves.

Sunday of course was church. I kinda woke up not really in the mood to go. I mean I had been dealing with mother nature and we have so many things that need done I just wanted to stay home. Well it just so happened that this was my week to teach UpStreet and I had no way of getting ahold of any one to cover for me so guess what God said...... I was going to church!! LOL! I love it when he does that. It was good though. The kids were good and had fun with their lesson. I asked them questions about the 3 men who were put in the fire because they did not bow down to the kings statue and if what what I said was true then that team got to toss a bean in a bucket and if it was false then that team got to throw a bean in a bucket. They made a big mess with the beans but were so good with helping clean them up. Their knowledge blows me away. They knew little details that sometimes I forget. They sure are some amazing kids.

After church we had a cheap quick lunch at Wendy's and went home. We farted around for a bit and Jeremy did his school work. After that was done they played some Wii and I made dinner. While we ate dinner we watched a movie. I don't remember the name of it but it was cute. Then we watched Secret Millionaire and Undercover Boss. Brooke ended the night mad cause we never played any games but I thought it was a good weekend. Here is to hoping that Monday is a success!
