Saturday April 13

 

So today was cleaning day.
I was so ready to get back to getting stuff done.
Three weeks down can really take a toll on a house, especially when it is a house that is already kinda a wreck :)
But first, Brent and I went to the gym together.
Three weeks without working out....I didn't have much energy....
But I hope to get it back soon.
When we got home, we went for a little jog.
Kinda curious how my lungs would act.
It was rough.
But I am not sure if it is because I have done NOTHING for 3 weeks, or because of my lungs.
I guess I just need to stick to it so I can get back to where I was before I got sick.
Dumb sickness!
Anyway, so the kids all cleaned their rooms.
We washed, sorted, and folded a LOT of laundry.
And went through a lot to donate too.
Cassi had a birthday party from 2-7.
That is one LONG party!
But she had fun, but came home with her ear hurting, I am wondering about an ear infection.
Poor girlie.
Then Elsie was invited to a friends house to play and Porter took a good nap.
Madi and I cleaned the playroom up and got rid of a lot of stuff.
Then she headed outside with Dad while I did some more stuff inside.
We have some gated pipe to lay out for the field, but bought it used, so it was in rough shape.
The two of them worked together to get the bends out....
Dad is pretty brilliant, you know :)
He used a scissor jack and welded stuff to the mechanism so he could twist and work it down these long pipes.
Then he popped those bends out.
Pretty smart :)
Once they got that done, I found them making some hurdles for Madi to practice with.
I think it will be good for her to learn the right technique to jump, since they don;t seem to be teaching that at track, dumb.
She had fun making them with him out of scrap wood.

Then we loaded up a small trailer with DI stuff.

We have a DI truck in our church parking lot.

So it makes it nice and convenient :)

But Dad guided Madi in the truck and trailer down to the church......

She did a great job.

Then we drove back up the hill to pick up Elsie from her friend house.....who is just by the school.

So just a short little drive.

But Madi did a great job!

*****

Picked up Cassi from her marathon birthday party.

Then Brent and I went to our date night movie.

We wanted to see '42'.

It was SOO good!

It was a packed theatre, and we sat by some really talkative, loud people.....

But it was still fun to be with my guy :)
