We have wanted the Elder’s quorum Presidency over for dinner for months now and it finally happened. Brent was for sure the one holding it all up. It was so fun to sit around chatting with everyone. I made Spanish Rice and Carne Asada. It turned out great! The kids just played and played.
They both brought the best desserts! I love assigning dessert because I don’t know how to make any. Jennae made the best apple strudel and Tammy made the best lemon tart cake.
We love it that we have such wonderful neighbors that play so well with our kids. Zoe called to let us know that she was willing to come over if we put
Sebastian in the cage. We jumped at her offer…She has not been over for months. Tristan was so happy to play with her.
TJ comes over almost everyday. These boys can play for hours- I love it!!!
I attempted to make Nate’s Indian dish, didn’t get it quite right..but it was eatable. I ate it for about 4 days. My Love said he really liked it.
We don’t get to see Uncle Wayne very often but the kids love it when we do. He just stopped by to say “HI” so the kids told him all about their lives and then roped him into playing the Wii with them. Of course Esher was elated.
I had to take a picture of all of us having dinner together. We were all so excited to be with My Wonderful Love for dinner. These days he has been busier than ever at work then comes home overwhelmed with all he STILL has left to do, so there have been few night he comes home in time for dinner.
I miss you dearly cutie, but at the same time I am so proud of you for working so hard for our family!!
These kids are always up to something. They were up late last night making all of these cute balloon people.
We had a successful swap last night. Troy and Daph took Esher and Tristan and we took Aubree. I know it doesn’t sound that fair, but it’s not always that way we also get four kids sometimes this time was just their turn. These girls are just so close and truly love each other so so much. They slept on the same couch all night. All day long they just went from room to room giggling and talking.
We had Korean for lunch today and Thai for dinner. We save a lot of money while on the cleanse but quickly make up for it when we come off. Gary and Jo Ann suggested the movie “Outsource” so we watched it on My Love’s new Blue-Ray DVD player with Netflix steaming or something. It was really cute and made me want to go to India. I have never been but have ALWAYS dreamt of going. When our kids are older, in their late teens, we will have to go because I really want to stay about 3 weeks to a month.
Today My Love and I came off our cleanse. I am so excited to start over and really be ready for the summer, for once in my life. I love coming off of it with my kimchi chigai.
Today after school Paris had Emma and Ashley over. They all played downstairs in the club houses.
Tonight is our night to babysit The Friday Date Group kids. Tristan played CHEF and Emma and Isabel were the waitresses. They took pizza orders from each of the kids. It was so cute. I love the stuff Tristan found to put in her pockets.
Paris and Aubree were in charge of the refreshments, so they made lemonade-we had plenty left over from our cleanse.
Satisfied customers.
Tristan and Emma tried to make chocolate pudding with just chocolate chips and milk. It didn’t quite work out.
Sebastian ran out every chance he got. He just loves to lay in the snow.
My Love and I stopped our cleanse today…it has been 10 days. I kind of wanted to go for 14 days, but the idea of not eating all weekend was killing me….so I was weak and with the help of my equally weak husband we stopped.
My Love brought us home some delicious Korean. I had Kim Chi Chigae and he had Soon Dabu Chigae. It was amazing!!!
Now we can really start toning our bodies and getting into all those clothes I truly miss!!!
We went to see Planet 51 today at the dollar theater with The Fox Den. It was cute. Jackie is just amazing! She bought our tickets the day before and was the first one in line today. We had perfect seats. Thanks Jackie!! The kids loved the movie.
Esher, Naomi, and Tristan all brought stuffed animals with them…so cute!!
After the movie we went to Carl’s Jr. so the kids could play for a little bit.
T-Rex looking down on me.
It was a fun day. My favorite part is that I got to hang out with Jackie!!!
Paris has been wanting to create something with big boxes for awhile. We didn’t have any so she called around to find some. She called Sears but ended up in a call center in Ohio… it was too far to go to pick up the boxes. My Love took her to Sears and a couple other places and she ended up with these two boxes. She made windows and doors and tada she has two club houses.
She even made these telephones with a cup and string from one house to the other, so they could communicate. Love her creativity!!!
The kids played in them for hours.
Our kids love to do crafts and Tristan got a lot of them for her birthday. Tonight they painted a vanity.
Esher painted this heart for a charm bracelet.
Tristan got a cook book from Eden at her birthday party and she has been dying to make Smoothies. We went to the store to buy ingredients for about 4 recipes. She was so excited.
From what I hear they were delicious.
Paris made the breakfast pizzas that looked amazing but we couldn’t try them because of our cleanse.
Can’t wait till they all take turns making dinner!
Today we all pitched in to clean the whole house while we danced to music. It was actually a lot of fun!!!
Naomi came over and they tried the Chocolate Chip Pancakes on her. They loved them….How can you not?
Tristan made a face on hers.
