A Day with Mom

Day with Mom today. Every 4th weekend she has to work so she gets the following Monday off and during the summer, I would go over to their house, but since the kids are in school now, so she came and picked me up and we went to Jimmy Johns over by their house. We went in and sat down and she said there's a lot of people and I was looking around and thinking, hmm, there's only 2 other people in here~ :) She meant behind the counter, but it was funny! :) Then we went by their house to get stamps, then went to the bank and they bank at WellsFargo now and we went in the drive up and she said theres a person on there. I didn't see it because the teller wasn't talking, but when the teller starts talking the camera shows who you're talking to, again funny, because it was like Mom was hearing/seeing things again! Anyway, then we went to the mall because Mom had a coupon for for Coldwater Creek, which is a very expensive store!!! She ended up getting a scarf and 2 long sleeve shirts and after the $25 coupon it was still $65! Then we walked around and went in Forever 21 and I showed her the stuff that Hannah liked, then we went to Bath and Body Works and I got a couple candles, then we went to Sams Club. There was a lady at Sams with twin boys and another boy. It was funny because the twins were putting each other in a headlock and laughing at each other! :) Then when we got to the checkout, mom noticed the mom had dropped her jacket so she went to pick it up for her, but I didn't realize that, so I'm standing there at the checkout and realize Mom is nowhere to be found!!! She just laughed when she came back. She's like didn't you know, you're paying for it?! :) Then we came back to our place and played a couple games of Zip and a couple games of No Speed Limit. Oh and we had to go to the church to get Dad's computer cord that he left during SS. Then after we played some games, I asked her to change my nose piercing for me. She actually did a great job. I love days with my mom! :)

Family Time

9.1.12
So let's see, it's been pretty good lately with Dad, I haven't really come home feeling like I'm the scum of the earth and Dad thinks that too. Anyway, last Sat. I picked up Bekah and we went looking for a shower curtain that had owls on it to seperate her area downstairs.We went to BB&B first, but they didn't really have much of anything fun, so then we went to Shopko and found a cute one and we picked up some candy for everybody. We went by the theater to get Dad his gift card, but it wasn't open yet, so went back home, but then we realized we didn't have rings to put up the curtain, so we were going to go to Walmart and I asked if Mom & Dad needed anything and Mom said they needed dishwashing detergent and Dad said Mom needed towels, so I was asking about colors and Hannah kept freaking out about pink towels and how she wanted sky blue but darker but not navy!! Anyway, so Bekah & I went to Walmart and got the rings and then sent a pic of some blue towels to Hannah and she picked the one she wanted. So we got 7 of them then went home and put up the curtain. Mom asked me how much I owed her and I said 2 cents and she said what a bargain ,then I said you owe me a whole day with me! Then I said I don't need money, I need love!!! :) I was supposed to help Dad with organizing stuff, but he wasn't quite ready, he was cleaning out the little storage room and getting stuff to get rid of, so I asked him if he wanted me to come back the next day and help and he said to call him. We went to Menards to get some boards, Joe came with, then we went to HyVee to get some meat and drinks for the cookout at the Bensons that night. We came back home and Dad started cutting the boards, but then he stopped so we could go to Bensons.

I called him the next day and he said to come over. I emptied out the school stuff from the bottom of the pantry and organized all of it. It took quite awhile, they could open a small office supply store with all their stuff! Dad had to go get some more boards because he cut them wrong. I got all the stuff organized and put on the new shelves, then we had a bonfire that night and lit a bunch of sparklers. It was a lot of fun! :)

9.9.12
Today we had a potluck after church and we brought Lydia & Bekah home and asked if Joe could come over and watch the Vikings game and when I brought him back home I would pick up him, Lydia & Bekah for the SS Worker's Meeting, so he said that would work. So Jason & Joe watched the game with lots of yelling :) then they walked to Cherry Berry, then came back and watched a little more then I took Joe home and I sat downstairs and watched some LOTR with a few of them. Then I took them to the meeting and on the way home, Dad was picking (not in a bad way) about my driving or things going on on the car!! And Bekah said you know you're driving's not that great either Dad! :) And earlier Bekah was showing her homework flashcards to Dad and he was saying something about math flashcards and she was like I don't do math flashcards Dad, nobody does, except you! And Mom was like you're not gonna get anywhere saying that! :)And when we were at the meeting and talking to Bekah, she answered us and stuck her boobs out! It was funny.
