Loved this quote from my devotional today.  Couldn't tweet it cause it was too long.  Cleaned house, did a little work and separated my laundry, which takes about a day to do.  The dryer has been broken and we've been waiting on the parts to come.  They got here today and my man fixed the dryer for me!  It was screeching really bad, horrible sound.  Got a little laundry done, while admiring my hubby in his old Dickie's shorts ;)  Early to bed, preschool tomorrow :)

Had our Thursday night Bible Study "Interview" today with the Gilson's and the Mosses.  Matt told us that he wants us to be leaders in Crown in the Spring.  I was laughing because we are just coming off of a bad spell in regards to our finances.  The Lord gave me a new budget to try on Friday and I'm really excited about it.  I feel like we have so much more money when we are on a budget.  We're also a little more restrained, but it all works out better in the end.  We're both excited about this new ministry, but I think there's a little apprehension there too.  We've been through a lot the past year and jumping back into things is a little nerve-wracking.  The pictures of the boys were taken in the morning before church.  We had a great morning with the babies.  That is Bean being his little demanding self, saying "mama" over and over again until I got him his banana and his milk.  And Silas, as usual, just being a ham.  Relaxed the rest of the day and had porterhouse steaks made by my love for dinner.

Had breakfast with the in-laws today at iHop.  It was good to see the boys, then they were all off to Bass Pro to watch Daddy teach a seminar, and Mommy, had about 5 hours to herself!  This, does not happen often.  I enjoyed it, then had to be at the church to sing at a wedding.  Everything went well, then I headed home to be with my babies.  A casual dinner of leftover Del Taco and some quality time with the family.  Can it get any better then that?

Home this morning with the boys, worked a little, then headed to Grandma and Grandpa's house to drop off the boys for the night. Yes, I said the night. We actually had a night with no kids. Hasn't happened in a while. Drove to Chino to hang with our favorite people and then hung out at Balboa beach. Ate a lot at Ruby's, got a coffee and drove back to Chino. We were all very tired and pathetic, it was so sad. We're getting so old, all of us, even the baby of our group was the first to fall asleep. Love you K!

Work again today, all day. It was a very exhausting day. Work, then picked up the kids from Baba, then a wedding rehearsal for a sweet couple at church. I really love doing weddings. I wish I did them every weekend :). I brought Si to the rehearsal with me so he could hang out with Papa. He was an angel. My sweet friend brought me some plunder from her recent excursion to Whole Foods. She is a lover of all things organic as am I. She thought of me, she's so very thoughtful. Wish I was like that. The middle picture of Harpie is an after picture after an allergic reaction he had yesterday. We think he's allergic to Zu-Zu. On the way home from Baba's, he scratched all the way home, so I ran into Walgreens on the way home and grabbed some Zyrtec, well, Wal-Zyr. He cleared up and I sent that pic to Baba who was freaking out as usual <3

Work in the evening, day with the boys. Work is very busy right now and I'm fighting daily feelings of guilt. Do the boys notice when I'm so busy? I hope not. My devotional this morning talked about praising God in ALL experiences. That's the reason for the picture. I especially needed that reminder this week. The other picture is a plastic snake poking out on my couch. Life with boys. These are the things that I find around my house everyday. Love those boys!!

Preschool today.  First day of the carpool.  The boys loved having little A. in our car and talked her ear off.  Then dropped some paperwork off at Sarah's and then made some lentil salad and put the boys to bed.  The salad was amazing!!  I love anything with lentils.  Gilbert came home and we went to the Sein's house so he could give their boys a fishing lesson.  One of them caught fish within minutes of us being a the fishing hole.  I got to hang with Elva, which I love.  She is such a sweet woman.  They invited us for dessert afterwards and we hung out with them for a bit.  Her boys were so good with mine.  That always blesses me.  Si learned to play 'soccer', code for foosball.  Hope to do that again soon.
