a fun week!end

This weekend was indeed a lot of fun!!! On saturday we went to the park and then to the fountain! When we first got to the fountain there were so many big kids that we decided to wait until they were gone to play. These kids parents were letting them fill up big buckets on everyone. Why do some people let their kids disobay rules, not only that why do they bring the stuff for them to disobay the rules? It just blows my mind how some people just don't care! Then it also makes it really hard for those of us who do care and are trying to raise our kids to follow rules and be good human beings! Anyways after the big kids left we went and played and they (well not Eli) had a blast! After that we went to Ginger's coffee shop and she gave the boys an me free drinks which was so nice of her! Then we came home and ate some great pintos and cornbread!

Yesterday we went to Josh's grandmother's(Linda) house for his great grandmother's 95th birthday! Yep my kids still have not only one great great grandmother but two of them! we are by far closest to this one though! We had a lot of fun sitting around talking while the kids played in the back yard with their cousins! By the way I couldn't have asked for better kids yesterday! They were perfect!!!! I love it when I can say that :) Eli didn't even cry but one time and that only lasted a minute. Even with birthday cake they were STILL good! Overall it was a really GREAT weekend.

Last night Josh and I had date night which is where we put the boys to bed early and then we cook dinner for ourselves and watch a movie and/or play games! We usually try and have a "date night" once or twice a month. With three kids it is hard and very expensive to find a babysitter, so this is a great alternative. In fact Most of the time I prefer staying at home to going out. The boys get upset that we are putting them to bed early but I think that it is good for them to see Josh and I put each other first sometimes. I always say the best gift we can give our kids are two parents that are still very much in love.

Usually either the day for our date night or the day after we try to do something with the boys (since we put them to bed early). So today we are going on a picnic! I love picnics! We are taking the boys up on the mountain and then if it is hot enough we will go to the fountain after that. Then we will go to Ginger's work for something that is top secret but the boys will get to see her which they LOVE! Josh is making pintos and ham for tonight so we will have a wonderful meal to come home to!!! Yep I think today is going to be a pretty good day!

Eli's bump

So my garage sale was a bust! But we had a really good time with some of Josh's family (well they are my family too)! We spent the night with grandma and I stayed up late talking with her, which is fun and exhausting all at the same time. Eli layed on a pallet with Scotty for a little while and listening to their little laughes was so cute. The next day was our garage sale and all was going fine until Eli fell of a 3ft. ledge on his head. He had a huge goose egg right in the middle of his forehead. But I guess Eli has a hard head cause he didn't cry but for maybe a second! I on the other hand was scared for about the whole day! Then he smashed his little finger in a door! So it was a sad day for Eli!!!

This week has been a very unproductive week for me! We got a big screen TV from Josh's mom, so now I can sit on the couch and play leg batman on the xbox360. So Basically that is what I have done. I told Josh last night that I have to get on the ball if I'm going to get anything done at all this week.
in fact that is probably what I should be doing right now. :)

Josh had his interview with the Fire Dept. yesterday and he thinks it went well. I'm really praying that he gets on this time. So please keep us all in your prayers for the next few weeks!
