A Weird Week....

This past week was weird. Porter had no school for two days and missed one day because he was sick and everyone got some version of a cold or croup. On Monday I attempted to take the kids downtown with a friend to the science center because it was free day (normally $15 to get it!!!), I don't know what I was thinking. FREE day means everyone and their dog will be there. We walked in and immediately felt it was time to go. Tessa had her hands on her ears the whole 10 min we were there. We left and I got my money back at the parking garage. So to redeem myself I took the kids to Malley's. When we pulled into the parking lot Porter said "watch out fudge, here I come!!"




Marin is so good to just go along. She is already out growing the car seat!!!

On Tuesday two of the young men in our ward came over to our house as missionaries. They received mission calls to Mongolia (our house because that is where Andy served for two years). I made dumplings and rice for dinner and yogurt with Zuko. We also got out Andy's Mongolian stuff and decorated the house and we all wore something from there. It was a fun night and great to hear some of Andy's stories from the mission.



Also this week I had a great craigslist experience. We have been looking for a futon to put in the basement because we haven't had anywhere to sit. We finally found the right thing for a super price. We ended up with this beauty from IKEA...


It came with some awesome sparkle pillows that really are not my style, but they seem to be Carlee and Tessa's style.


We had to have a sleepover on it last night. I cannot believe how easy it is to use, Porter can do it all by himself.

So, I think I am finally caught up on pictures. I have been in a "funk" lately and taking the time to do this has not been the priority. But now that I have done it, I realize how much of a priority it should be. I love looking back on past posts and the pictures we have, it is so much fun, and the kids like it too. Okay, now that is all done, moving on to my Saturday and being a mom.....
