A good weekend
We had such a great weekend. On Friday Kyle and I had the afternoon to ourselves while Andrea took the boys for another Auntie Andrea day. We did a little shopping, and a lot of relaxing. I got a pita that was really good. He got quiznos. We picked out a rug for our living room. I like it. Then we went to pick up Sloan and have dinner with Andrea. We left Adriel who was quite excited for his sleepover. We dropped Sloan off with Isabel and went to see the hunger games. It was fun. The movie could have been better, as is often the case when it comes from a book, but it was still fun to go and see it. Saturday morn is the time for my long run. It went well. Things were starting to get a little achy by the end, but for the most part I felt good. In the afternoon, Adriel and Sloan went to Nathan's party and then to Becky's while we went on a date with Andrea and Dean. We got soft serve ice cream and screamers, and then we went out for Korean which was delightsom. We walked downtown a bit in pursuit of fudge, but the place was closed. We pick up the very tired boys and put them to bed and watched the Lord of the Rings, which Andrea hadn't seen before. It was fun. Then on Sunday we had a good visit with my friend Vanessa, who had us over for dinner. A good weekend. Now on to the week...

Some People's kids...
Well it's day one of the strike. I admit, it was nice to get up and not have to rush around getting Adriel ready for school, and Sloan ready to take Adriel to school. It was nice to take my time with breakfast. By the end of a two week spring break starting next week, I'm not sure I'll feel this way. We'll see.
So far today I've: Made bread, done dishes, vacuumed, done copious amounts of laundry, gone to the park, gone to the library, wasted time on the computer, etc.
A few days ago Brent was here. He made us caramel corn. I haven't been able to leave it alone. It needs to get out of my house.
Ever since my first snowboarding incident of the season with Eryn (which was full of fun and adventure) I have been addicted to snowboarding. I'm getting better, and it's sooooo fun!!!! I'm always itching to go. I'm so glad that I have my own board and a very nice big sister who gets me home schooling rates at the mountain and then watches my kids for me so I can go. I'm pretty lucky.
Last week Kyle was really really really sick with tonsillitis AND strep throat. How does that happen? It doesn't. Except when you're Kyle. It was bad.
I just ate left over indian food that we had with Brent which was so good and now I feel like napping.
Bannud scratched me. I was putting her back into her cage and somehow she managed to rip a strip off the palm of my hand. I thought we were friends.
I have started reading the hunger games. About time right?
Kyle spent the whole day on Saturday tiling a bathroom for a lady and then she decided that she doesn't like it....which means that the hours he isn't in school this week will be spent at her house, you know, when he's not studying for the midterm he missed last week...
I'm heading to Vancouver this weekend for some good family temple time and a fun spring break visit for the kiddos. I'm worried as to how this will effect my half marathon training.
Also happening this week is the RS birthday party celebration, in which we are doing a performance of the 10 virgins. I opened my mouth about liking to sing and got roped into this performance which was a lot more than I realized at the time. Lines, acting, singing solos, you name it, I have to do it. Now that I have to do it, I'm trying to own it. I'm a foolish virgin. I'm also the first virgin who realizes I don't have any oil and the result is panic and eventually I fall to the ground crying. This is a little outside my comfort zone. It is comical. All those years of fake crying outside Evan and the twin's doors with Laura have finally payed off....
I don't know what to do with my hair next. It's getting to the point where it's almost too long to be a bob, and I'm not sure if I'm done yet, if I want to go longer or not, or what to do with my bangs. They are in the process of growing out and I don't think I like it. I'm not sure the result (no bangs) is even what I want. I just want something exciting. I see pictures like this and I want to cut it again...or this, or this ... I just don't think I'm ready to grow it. Right now shorter just seems like more fun to me. Just sayin...
