Functional Week

Even though I feel like I had a functional week, I still look exhuasted all the time. :)

This is the first week where I have felt like I have accomplished most of what I needed too. On Monday I took everyone to the Arboretum. I forgot my camera, but it was beautiful. The tulips were amazing. The kids had a great time and Leah did great. Tuesday we ventured to the grocery store. The boys did great, and were actually helpful. Wednesday we made it to the library. Thursday we cleaned house because I had a meeting in the evening, and the boys even helped with that. On Friday we went to Sam's Club and purchased food for Scout camp and Enrichment. We spent about a paychecks worth at Sam's. Every day I made dinner and did school with Joshua. I am so proud of myself because Michael was pretty much gone all week. He got up really early for work and worked late. After work he was busy preparing for Scout camp, so he has been pretty busy.

Since Michael is going to be gone all this week, I had him take a couple of hours on Saturday to take the boys to the movies. I feel bad Michael left early Saturday to prepare for scout camp and only took two hours for the boys and the rest of the day until 1:00 am or so was filled with Scout camp prep. Joshua will miss Michael. Dad is his favorite and he tells me regularly. I will ask Joshua who plays with him and feeds him, and he will say Mom. I will ask him who gives him time outs and he says Dad, yet Dad is still his favorite. (we both give time outs, but apparently Dad sticks out) :) I think it is funny. Joshua will tell me that I am Leah's favorite because I am a girl.

Dallin went to the movies for the second time. He actually sat through this one. The first movie about half way through it he told me he was done. :) Dallin has been so helpful with Leah. I am really impressed by the things he will do for her.

Truthfully I am Leah's favorite, but I am sure that will change over time. :) Leah is growing and fitting into some really cute out fits. She has been doing great being packed around everywhere the boys want to go. She is sleeping a little better most nights.
