Another Boring Week in Review post

This last week was a little more relaxed than the week before. We still had little things here and there that kept us busy almost every day though.

Monday was a chill day. We just hung out for most of the morning. The kids did their chores

and then got invited to go on a hike with the neighbors. It was going to be quick hike but they ended up being gone the whole afternoon. I even started to get worried because they were gone so long and I wasn’t able to get a hold of them on the cell phone. They came home at 4:30 and all was well, thank goodness. We talked about tithing for Family Home Evening. I even begged my neighbor for a canning jar so they could make tithing banks.

Tuesday morning Emma had piano. After that we had our date with the hair cutters of Evans. After we were done getting Andrew’s stylish do,

and shaving Paul’s head we went to lunch at….wait for it….Taco Amigo. We ran a few more errands (grocery store and Papa Murphy's) and then the kids went out and played again. Emma was with Jenna so Andrew came home and that is when he learned how to play Yahtzee.

Wednesday was a pretty relaxed day. This is also when the weather started getting weird. We have had rain every day since Wednesday. It kept the kids inside for most of the day playing games, watching TV and playing on the computer.

Thursday was movie day at Jenna’s house. I took advantage of the time alone and took a nap. The kids came running home in heavy rain. It was so dark outside it almost felt like it was nighttime. After checking in Emma went back to Jenna's and Andrew hopped in bed with me and we watched an episode of I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here. (So lame!)

That night I got everything ready for Camp Jeremiah Johnson. Neither Andrew nor I could sleep because we were so excited and nervous.

Friday morning has already been well documented. When I got home from camp we hurried out to the stores in AF to get a birthday gift for Kelsey. We found her a crazy cute Webkinz and then got her some fun little goodies from Justice.

It was a pajama party so I got Emma some new PJ’s to wear since her other summer PJ’s have seen better days. (Hopefully that mess of weeds behind Emma will be gone by tomorrow!!!)

Andrew ended up with a new pair too. After she was dropped off at the party I got in the shower, washed off Jeremiah Johnson and then crashed. Paul was kind enough to pick her up for me.

Saturday was spent shopping for a new bed. We left our house in one of the craziest rainstorms that I have ever seen. It was nuts! Here it is as it is rolling in.

And this is when it was just getting started.

There was so much water in so little time. It was pounding on our car so loudly that we had to almost yell to hear each other. There was lightning and thunder, one right after the other, and the flooding started almost instantly. There was just nowhere for that much water to go. As we made our way to Orem in slowed down a lot. We hate RC Willey but had some gift cards so we went there first. What a joke. We didn’t like one bed they had so we spent the gift cards on I tunes gift cards and video games. I even took a free umbrella they were offering. It’s funny because we always get their freebies, or we win something while there, but we have never spent any money out of our pockets. We have tried but they suck so bad that we never do. I think we found the bed we want; now we just need to save up for a month or two and order it.

On our way home we got our first corn on the cob of the season. Look at the blue skies. Can you believe it is the same day? We couldn't. It was crazy.

So there you have it. Week two of summer vacation.
