Wednesday May 25

Not the greatest day :(

Well, besides the fact that it started at 3:30 with Elsie not being able to sleep......a lot of things did not go my way today!

So like I said Elsie was up at 3:30.

She did go back to sleep........

at 6 AM!!!!!!!

So of course I can't go to sleep now because all the other kids are waking up at that time.

I did threaten the big girls that I would be SO MAD if they woke her up!

Port went to school with the Edwards boys and I let Elsie sleep as long as she could before I took her to school.

I am scared it is gonna happen again :(

I have too many past experiences with late night long hours with Elsie to think it will only happen once......

But I really hope she just sleeps!

Anyway.....

I sent her to school and then I had too many things that needed to get done to I didn't get a nap.

I planted a few more plants in the garden.

I want to get them all in the ground before we leave for our trip!

Then I came in and I made a bunch of cookies for the YW/YM activity we had tonight.

Then we, the old YW presidency, had plans to meet for lunch.

I got to Costa Vida in good time.

But didn't see anyone there.

So I texted them.....

Ya, they were at Cafe Rio!

So they ordered for me and I met them there about the time they got their food :)

It was nice to sit and chat.

We will miss Coralee!

I am glad we didn't lose anyone else!!!!!!

I can't believe how big our ward still is!

I think we only lost about 60 people total.

And we have two big neighborhoods that are building right now.....so our ward is gonna grow leaps and bounds soon!

Oh well......I am sure there is a bigger plan in keeping us as a large ward.....

So I got home and put some water on the lawn and then picked Cassi up for Piano.

Madi drove us to piano and then we picked up the kiddos.

Elsie had a good day!

Yay!

I was worried how it would go.......but she did good.

Me......ya, I have been sooooo grumpy :(

At 5, I went with Elsie and Kyra to activity days.

They showed a cute movie the girls all made together.....not Elsie because she never goes....

But she had fun watching the movie anyway.

Came home and I stuck the already made Parmesan chicken in the oven for dinner.

I cooked zucchini and cut strawberry's and when the timer was done, the chicken was not cooked!!!!!

But we had like 5 minutes before we had to leave......

So I threw the lunch meat on the table and that's what they had for dinner.

I was so bummed......I worked hard to get a real meals for the kids tonight........

Oh well.
I took Port to the Morgans and Elsie went with the big girls and I to YW.

We combined with the YW again.

It was kind of a get to know you kind of thing with all the new people.

It will take some time to get everyone to mesh together......

Now we are home, except Madi went to the Lacross championship game....

But I soooooooo need to get to bed!

*****
Dad also had a pretty cool day doing a mock airplane crash at the airport.
They had a bunch of BSU students pose as victims and they all acted like it was a real plane crash.
Pretty great training!
