Happy Birthday E, (a little early)

After a hectic morning we spent the afternoon going out to a movie and ice cream to celebrate one of Bug's best friends birthday.

It was a nice day, we started out the day with a bike ride. The Liberty Lake garage sale was on Saturday. (the whole town of Liberty lake has a garage sale). I found a new trail-a-bike for Bug to replace the one that was stolen this winter. It's not as nice as his old one, but it will do the trick.

Then we got back we watched my friend Meegan's 3 little ones, she has a 2, a 3 and a 4 year old kids. 2 boys and a girl, they are a ton of fun but also very active. I wonder how she makes it through the day without collapsing with exhaustion, they are hard to keep up with. Very polite but into everything and very, very busy, but so cute you could never get mad at any of them. It's quite an adventure to have them over and great practice for Bug to get used to having little ones around to prepare him for the foster girl we hope to get soon.

After that we quickly wrapped up E's gift and ran to the mall to meet them for the movie. We went and saw UP again, it was just as cute and just as sad the 2nd time through. Then we headed over to Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream and gave E his gift. A new game for his Leapster and a Magnetix Dinosaur.

Bug was going to go home with them to play for awhile but Don didn't want to pick him up after his officers meeting (fire dept.) so they met him at the district office and Bug went with Dad to his meeting. While I went and did a dinner exchange with Meegan and some of her friends and then headed to go meet up with some other friends and play Pokeno, I didn't end up with anything but it was an entertaining evening watching the gifts fly back and forth.

A day at the fair.

Image
We had a busy day today! 1st we tried to get a little schoolwork done, then Bug and I headed to our church for "Breakaway". This is a time for all the moms to get together once a month. We get to spend some time in prayer, some time talking and getting to know one another a little better and of course spend sometime eating, because when can a big group of women get together and there not be food involved. It was a lot of fun and they have changed the format somewhat this year, so it should be interesting. After Breakaway we headed to the fair and met Blue. Bug had such a blast riding the rides. He is of course now more that big enough for all of the kiddie rides, he even branched out and rode on some of the bigger rides in the afternoon. He was a little nervous at 1st so I told him to ask this girl if he could sit be her. Of course she said yea and you can see him chatting her up in the 1st pic. (If he stays as outgoing as he is now his teen years should be a breeze. ha ha ...

No Bug for the week

This week Bug is going to a VBS at a local church, it runs from 9-3. Which is very nice in a way but also very strange. I took him in this morning and hung out with him for a few minutes while he got adjusted, then I went to the grocery store. Which was all fine but when I had to pass back by the church to head home it felt weird not having him, then all day at home I went back and forth between enjoying my time getting things done around the house and checking to see if it was time to pick him up yet. I got there to pick him up about 15 min early and waited around anxiously, when he finally came out he looked so tired, he seemed to have a good time but he did say "they sang for HOOUURRRS" and did not get to go out and play on the playground, but he is looking forward to going back tomorrow. This will be a strange week without him home all day. But it will be good practice for him because he will be going to a campfire day camp in a couple of weeks where he will be picked up ...

Friends at last

My buddy Kat and her girls ended up coming to town after all. They got in at 1:30 this morning. We all got up around 9:00 and spent the day shopping, playing in the fountain at the park downtown, riding the sky ride, then we went and got Mani/Pedi's, so fun! Tomorrow we are headed out to the water park for the day. Yea! It is so nice to have her over, she even dyed my hair for me this eve. I think it turned out cute, it's hard to tell for sure until you wash and style it the way you normally do. It only took me just short of 3 years to get her to come over and visit me, but with all her complaints about the drive I am sure it will be another 3 years before she comes back, but I sure am happy that she is here now. Our bad news for the day is that our oven went kaput. My husband was cooking up Lasagana and it was taking forever. I checked on it and mentioned that the oven didn't feel very hot and so when he checked it 15 min later he realized that the element went out on it. ...
