But, to say I was incredibly lazy last week would be an understatement. I did only what was required and not one bit more...
My eyes stayed shut each morning until the last possible moment, causing utter chaos to get ready for school. Adilynn had a granola bar running out the door each AM and school lunch every PM(there wasn't even BBQ rib sandwiches on the menu). Our dinners consisted of cereal, sandwiches, ramen or take-out - not one home cooked meal.
We won't even bring up the messes that are still waiting to be cleaned/sorted/washed...
I am still in denial that my built in morning babysitter/laundry do-er/carpool specialist (aka grandma)* has indeed moved out. So much so, I have not yet touched the laundry since her parting last Monday. (who needs clean underwear anyway?)
I did manage to celebrate this cute boy turning 4 -
more to come on that, soon!
And, we managed to get out for another date night Friday as well. This time with Mike's side of the family. And not nearly as controversial as last weeks, despite spending most of it watching 2 boys roll around on the floor in somewhat revealing clothing. Okay, okay, before you get the wrong idea - it was my nephew's JV High school wrestling tournament! A completely new thing for me - a big deal in Mike's fam. Mike thought I was a complete idiot when I asked "there are points in wresting?" and informed me that "they aren't allowed to take their singlets off while they are on the mat" when I told him they forgot to remove their leg bands at the end of the match. (gasp!) I never expected them to undress in public, mat or not! But please do not let this take away from Richard's talent...
He is a freshman wrestling JV and was quite impressive. Barely loosing the first match which consisted of several cheap shots (he had the bloody nose to prove it) and cradling(wrestling lingo) the second guy like a pro, pinning him for the win. I look forward to watching him pin many more in his career and learning all the rules so I am ready to go come time for Luke to don the singlet and pin his opponents.
Saturday, I ended my week with some serious girl time; wedding dress shopping with Mal and lunch and a movie with the girlfriends. (Bride Wars is a def must see!) SO here is to a new week, all geared up to put last week behind me and get stuff done!
Happy {almost} Monday people!
*My mom has moved out but is looking for a house nearby, hopefully within a 5-20 minute drive. We are pushing for the 5ish number but will take the 20 minutes over 12 hours any day. Yipee for a grandma close enough to babysit :)

Where were you hiding the camera? I guess I was so nervous I didn't even notice! Thanks for taking the awesome video. Thanks for hanging out with us. I can't wait for Luke to and Thomas to be old enough to wrestle. It is the most fun when they are little and it is all fun. For me anyways. Some parents really get into it. We just like the organized wrestling and not what happens in the house.
Phew! Such a relief that I'm not the only one that has weeks such as those. :)
Happy Birthday to Luke. Such a handsome little man.
I will cross my fingers that your Mom can stay within 5 minutes. That would be perfect!
