Our Busy Week

Monday was our grocery shopping day. It seems like by the time I get the shopping list made out, get the kids ready to go, get to the grocery store, get our groceries, check out and get back home the day is about over. Seriously I think it was almost 3:00 before we even got home. So by the time I got the groceries put away, completed Caylea's school and made dinner the day was truly over. The high point of this grocery shopping Monday was that I went to the Edmond Walmart because I had to run by the bank and we met my sisters there! Even though it's more craziness I wouldn't trade shopping (even grocery shopping) with my sisters and their kids for anything!





Tuesday we took Angel to the park over here by our house. Then we went to Patsy's she trimmed Angels nails for us and we hung out for a little while. She also gave me some awesome coupons so we went to Homeland and picked up a few really cheap groceries. You can click on Melissa's blog (she is Patsy's daughter-Patsy is Anthony's Aunt) button over there on the right. It is the Consumer Queen she has a message board you can join also to help you get started it's really a great thing!





After our shopping trip we came home, laid the two younger ones down for a nap and worked on Caylea's school with her. After naps we got up and went back to Patsy's for a little bit (well after dinner-we didn't expect her to feed us. . .lol). Caylea wanted to take her dog's some bones that Angel wouldn't eat and some beggin' strips. We went out and showed Caden the cat room for the first time he thought it was so awesome! Then we went and feed the dog's some bones. They really seemed to enjoy them and I know my kids loved it!

Wednesday we got up and went to my mom's for the day it was lots of fun to hang with my sisters and mom for the day. The kids had a blast over there like always! Then we went to Church the girls had light brigade and Caden played in the nursery with all of his friends and Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Heather. He had so much fun he didn't want to leave with me when I went to pick him up. Probably mostly because they had the vacuum going but still must of been fun in there right?!?!



Today was beautiful outside a little windy maybe. . .well defiantly but you couldn't beat the temperature. We went to the zoo first stop was the dinosaurs. I think I liked them much better the first time. I think it was the aww factor. This time I knew what to expect. Then we went to lunch it's always a blast with my 3 and Whitnee's 4 (her 2 plus her niece and nephew). Really it's not bad the older kids actually sat at a table next to us today and they were so good :) Then we headed to the aquarium walked around there a bit before heading down to the park.







Caylea was such a good big sister helping with Caden she just followed him around the whole time and helped him up when he needed it. It was so cute to watch my big girl be such a good big sister! Then he wanted to swing for really quite a long while so Caylea got to be a kid and run around with Ash, Kristen and Carolina. Honestly that was equally as cute to watch. By that time it was pushing 2:00 if not after so we headed home. My two youngest were out before we pulled into the driveway. Got them into bed and sat down with Caylea to work on her school work.
This evening I made beef stew for the first time. I can't say I was impressed with my first attempt but it wasn't bad. I cooked the potatoes too long and the carrots not long enough other than that good flavors.

It is suppose to rain all day tomorrow so I am thinking we won't be going anywhere. Staying home actually sounds good to me after the busy week we had. I love my life, I love that my kids and I get to do so many fun things and spend everyday together. I am however going to enjoy sitting at home with my 3 blessings and getting caught up on some housework . . .who knows I may even stay in my jammies all day (that is until almost 5 when hubby comes home then I will hop into the shower and get dressed so he doesn't know).
