Busy Week

We were so busy last week! It was actually pretty fun, though I thoroughly enjoyed chilling today in my pajamas and just sticking to the normal, school, housework, and general Kelsey craziness. So Monday we took Kelsey to the doctor since she was all broken out in hives for two days straight! She had her blood drawn, which was so sad for me, but she was a champ and didn't even cry! That's my big girl! It came back negative for any allergies, so we'll see what happens. After that we went across the street to Walmart and got what we needed to plant our garden! That night we went to Mimi's for my free birthday dinner.

So yummy! Tuesday we drove our friends to LAX to catch a plane to Japan!!! I'm so excited for their adventure and it was fun to be a small part of it.

So since we were already in the general LA area, I took the kids up to the temple for a little photo shoot. I love love love the LA temple, and it was fun to take them there.After the temple we drove home via the Long Beach Towne Center and grabbed some lunch at Chick-Fil-A and our free ice cream cones at Ben & Jerry's! Oh so good. They have a little water play area there that was so fun!Tuesday was also the last day our Disneyland annual passes were good so when Daddy got home we hit the resort for a final hurrah. The kids got to choose one special treat. After much deliberation, Jeremy chose cotton candy. Kelsey got the balloon she's always wanted. I got to see the fireworks, my favorite! And Daddy got to enjoy an evening with us. Seriously, that's all he wanted. What a guy. Wednesday we all slept in after that crazy Tuesday and barely woke up in time to go to Homeschool Picture Day in the park. The kids smiled pretty and then had fun playing. That night we tagged along with Daddy to his church youth activity and then went with him to fix Grandma and Grandpa's computer and TV. Thursday we finally got around to planting the garden.It was a gorgeous day and we thoroughly enjoyed being outside! That night we headed on over to Hometown Buffet for another free birthday dinner! Friday night we rushed to the library before it closed to get the books Jeremy has been wanting, books on China and volcanoes. After the library we went to Tony Romas for my last free birthday dinner. I got the biggest best steak diner on the menu! It was so mouthwateringly delicious!!! I thoroughly enjoyed every bite! Then we went to Home Depot to get painting supplies for our living room. I picked Early Morning Sunrise, a light shade of yellow. I hope it turns out well!

Saturday morning we took Grandma with us to the Orange County Marketplace. We had so much fun looking at all the stuff and finding the great deals. Jeremy and Daddy got matching hats, I got shampoo, and Kelsey got curlers. Exciting stuff right?! Grandma bought me this cute dress that I just love! Jeremy and Daddy got churros, the biggest and best ones you'll ever find! After that we went to Yogurtland and then had fun running and playing in the water together in the backyard.

It was the perfect end to a great week!
