Mother nature

   The weather may not have been my favorite this week, (I really hate the wind!) but mother nature can sure make some pretty pictures. The sunset the other night was gorgeous! As for activities this week, it's been pretty quiet. Isaac is, kind of last minute, making plans to go to the prom with our neighbor and friend, Sydney. We're on a count down to our upcoming Spring Break vacation and Greg, Carter and Isaac are currently on their way to White Rock for a priest quorum camp out. And that's all I've got folks!   

 

     Oh but I do have to remind you to watch "Nate Bargatze's Greatest Average American" Netflix special if you haven't already, it's so funny and 100% clean and family friendly! And if I already recommended it then a second recommendation must mean something.

Free stuff!!

     Fun week and free stuff! For the third time money just appeared in my account and with that 'free' money I decided to make a few furniture changes. I know we bought a new couch recently for the front room but it was too big and not a good fit for the space so with the free money I bought another new couch that fits better and hopefully will be a good addition to the front room. I also replaced the chairs because the other chairs had already started to collapse when you sat on them and that's not comfortable. I didn't spend a fortune so this new furniture may not last too long but it's always fun to have new stuff! And it's even better when its with money we didn't have to work to get!

Baby Beau likes to chill in the windowsill with the dogs. 

She also thinks she's tiny because she was sure she would fit in this Barbie chair.
(She also tried skating on the Barbie skateboard.)

 

     And speaking of free stuff, our generous Bishop hooked us up with quite a few Built Bars. Unfortunately the box full of carrot cake flavored ones are not appealing to anyone but we're going to keep trying to find that special person who just might like them.

 

New couch and oh yeah, I also bought a new clock!

Charlie and McClane are pretty happy with the new couch. McClane was actually our shopping buddy and helped with the decision.

And there's the new chairs. They're tiny but a great fit for this small living space.

     So that's the weeks highlights. I'm also getting a new chair for my bedroom but that was also 'free' because Isaac agreed to buy it for me if I did his taxes for him, which I did and it was a nightmare so I feel like I earned it. (Instead of a "sugar daddy" he's like my "sugar son". Ha!)

Charlie meets Charlie

     It's been a very quiet week. I spent the first part of the week babysitting for a friend who had her 8th baby Monday night. Sadly I didn't take any photos of these cute kids I was watching but the 4/5 year old told me "You are really bad at making paper airplanes, but that's ok." Hilarious and spot on! Such good kids and a fun reminder that I'm glad I'm done with diapers and I'm so glad I didn't have my kids so close together because I'm definitely not cut out for 3 kids in diapers at once. My friend is definitely a rockstar mom! (Eight kids 13 and under!) 

      Last Sunday evening Charlie got to meet baby Charlie, our neighbors grandbaby. He's about as cute and round as they come! 

Cute baby Charlie!

      We're looking forward to the time change. It's not everyone's favorite but I love it!!

Twinsies

     Charlie found a match at church, a dress match. Fun times. 

Charlie with neighbor and friend, Lillie

     Charlie always gets a kick out of seeing photos of herself in the different positions she falls asleep in.

Shoes on and her show playing on the iPad, classic.

     And this photo reflects where a lot of my free time goes, I've spelled over 1 million words playing this game. (I think this took me at least a couple years.)

Don't even get me started on the time I spend playing solitaire.

     It's been such a nice week with lovely weather and I've had the keys to Isaac's Camaro so I've really been enjoying myself. I don't know if Isaac will get his car back when he returns from his trip to Oregon, I'm pretty sure it's meant to be mine! It also came in handy when we had to take the Armada in to get an oil leak fixed. Now if only Greg wasn't terrified to be my passenger in the Camaro. Ha ha
