So on Sunday we were 30 minutes late for church because of my crazy "mom brain". I would put something down and it would literally disappear right before my eyes. It was so annoying. I was starting to think there was a little fairy thief of some sort in my house trying to make me late. After church we had the Sherlock family over for dinner. I guess it has been a little while since we have gotten together because Damian had said to me that morning "Don't they care about us anymore?"  and I was like "Who?" and he said  "The Sherlocks, we never see them anymore". So Grant and I decided to have them over. How sad that he thought that. It was fun having them over. Monday was back to the school routine....and we slept in until 8:20am...OOPS!!! I darted out of my bed waking up all of the school kids and rushing them out the door for 8:40am. I am so surprised we were able to pull it off in 20 minutes. I then got ready to go out with Rose Hudson to do some Relief Society visits. We had some wonderful visits. I enjoyed myself. Catcher went over to play with Ethan for the morning, and his Uncle Josh walked them to school. Grant headed out to the gym after I was done. Later in the afternoon, a nurse came to the house to do some medical things (blood samples, urine samples, blood pressure etc.) for our insurance company (hence the pic of me and the needle). I wonder what the nurse thought about us taking pics of getting bloodwork done....she probably thought we were nuts, and I don`t blame her.
Today was a tinkering day. A little of this and a little of that around the house. Not too much going on....that is until I get on the phone. I don`t have a cordless phone (long story) and so I just use our back up phone (the cord phones, where you are basically attached to the wall the whole time you are talking). So needless to say, this is a great opportunity for my children to get into trouble. I was talking to Meg, and as I got off the phone, I came out to find that the couch had been pushed into the hallway (we have hardwood floors and our couches slide easily on it). Tyson had done this. I moved the couch back, only to find Tyson in the middle of the kitchen floor playing in his very own "rice"box. Good Grief, what a guy! Look at him smiling at me....

After school we ate a quick dinner, did some chores and then it was time to take Kaitlyn to swimming lessons and Damian to Cubs. I was glad to get home. Grant just bought an Ipod touch, which he was very excited about. I believe he was slightly influenced by Tyler, Morgan and Dereks cool toys. I have to admit, they are pretty cool!
