After we took our trip to Morrilton on Friday, my house was in some major need of a good cleaning, so that is what went on here on Saturday morning. Carl had to work so I cleaned and cleaned, then he came home and mowed, so I cleaned and did laundry some more! I'll be the first to admit that my life has been completely chaotic and unorganized for the whole summer, so with the kids school getting ready to start, and my school wrapping up, I thought it would be he perfect time to get organized! I got the idea to make a "master planner" from this site. I gathered the stuff I needed from Staples and was happy with how it turned out. I have a few more things and maybe a little bling, then I'll show you the finished product. I'm super excited about it :)
Now back to the weekend:
Saturday afternoon we all went swimming and had a lot of fun with water balloons in the pool. Even Pop quit being a grouch for a while and played along. He usually doesn't like us to play with them in the pool because of all the little pieces....and you wonder why I am the way I am?!
Anyway, Carl and I got to have our date night that night. We went out to eat and then shopped around for a bit before coming back home. It was so nice to be able to hold an adult conversation. We needed that: Thanks Nanny!
Today is my birthday: I turned 29....again :) Carl made muffins for me and then we went to church. We ate lunch at my mom and dad's then came home to rest. Carl had to got back to work to change around some water, only when he got there is wasn't ready, so he made it back in time for church....I don't like going by myself. I'd better mention that when Carl and I went on our date night my parents took the kids to buy me birthday gifts. They let each of them pick out their own gifts: Carlie got me a yummy smelling candle :) Makena got me a kitchen towel and potholder set (apples!) :) Trey got me a razorback key chain :) They were so excited for me to open them that I had to do it that night instead of today! Gotta love that enthusiasm. I also got a little special gift from my secret sister. I love that :)
So, that's it; that's our weekend. I think I celebrated a little everyday of the weekend :) Isn't that how it's supposed to be?!
Hope you all have a great week!
