Where did my weekend go?

This weekend was really busy. I wish I could take it back and do things differently so I can relax a bit more, since that can't happen I will just blog about it.

Thursday night was Britton's first soccer game of the season. They have missed four games because of the weather. Thursday night's game should have been canceled in my opinion but they played anyway. It was cold and rainy the whole time. I have to get my Moms camera from her to get the pictures....I forgot my camera.

Friday morning we woke up to get Britton ready for school. I got a call saying I wasn't needed in Brittons class that morning so after Shayna and I dropped Britton off at school we picked up Shane and went grocery shopping. I have been doing Grocery Smarts. So once I had my list, Shane's list and all of our coupons ready to go we went to Albertsons. Here is what I got.....

15 bottles of poweraide
4 sobe life water
1 vitamin water
4 liters diet coke
2 boxes life cereal
1 gallon milk
6 boxes pasta/rice a roni
1 bag corn chips
4 boxes granola bars
2 boxes oreo straws
1 box corn starch
a treat for Shayna
I spent $38.00
Saved $ 59.83
Not too bad. I didn't have to buy any meat or fresh produce this time so I guess we will see how good I do next week. Shane saved a lot this time too. If you know Shane you know he LOVES coupons. He gets so excited when I hand him his coupons for shopping.
We got groceries put away and then headed back out to buy a Birthday gift for Mckye (our Niece) We got home and got the present wrapped then we headed back out to pick Britton up from school and go to the Dentist. We found out that Britton's 6 year old molars came in without any enamel and he had one cavity. We have to go back Monday morning to get sealants on his molars and take care of the cavity. After the dentist we went home and had a little snack before we were headed off again to Mckye's Birthday party.


Shayna and Mckye. They are four days apart and just love to be together.


We went to the Classic Fun Center in Layton. We had the Sponge Bob room and the kids loved the bubbles.

Jonny and Grandma and Grandpa Carver all had Birthday gifts for Shayna so this kind of turned into a Birthday for both Shayna and Mckye. They took turns blowing out the candles.

And then they opened their presents.

They both got these guitars. And they are very cute pretending they are in a rock band.

Here's Britton and Beckham playing a Sponge Bob video game.

I wasnt very good at taking pictures but the kids had a blast. They got to ride scooters on the roller skating floor. They played laser tag, jumped on the big blowup jumpy things (like at kangaroo zoo. And had all you can eat pizza and root beer. We didn't get home until 9:30 pm and Jonny, Beckham and Mckye slept at our house. The kids were so wound up there was no way we were getting them to bed. Jonny brought his wii so the kids played that for a while and we finally got them to bed around 11:30 PM. This is extremely late for my kids. I hate putting them to bed this late because I swear, the later they go to bed the earlier they wake up the next morning....I was right, they were up at 7:00 am. Tyler had work from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm so he missed out on all this fun.

Saturday morning we woke up early and got breakfast, the kids played for a bit and then Tyler had to leave for work. Jonny and his kids left shortly after. We had to go to a going away party for Tylers student. He is graduating and joining the military so I started to get everybody ready. When we were all ready to go I got a call from Tyler saying we were not going because we had too many errands to run and we were supposed to be to my parents for dinner by 4:30. So we ran all of our errands and got Shayna two new pairs of shoes. Britton needs new soccer shoes but of course we couldn't find any in his size so we will have to keep looking. Britton started complaining that he wasn't feeling good. I thought he was just tired from the lack of sleep and hard play so I didn't think much of it. We had dinner with my parents and Jonny left us his wii for a week so we took it to my parents and Britton and my Dad boxed, Britton won!!! Then Tyler and my Dad played tennis, and Shayna and Shane bowled. Shane had a hard time getting the hang of it and gave up so Britton finished for him. My kids are now addicted to the wii and are begging us for one. I really don't want to spend that kind of money on a video game. Hopefully they forget about it when Jonny takes it back....Ha ha!

Sunday was our day of.....WORK. I was so behind on cleaning the house and doing laundry and pulling weeds that we had a full day of work. We were invited to Tyler's Mom's for dinner but we didn't make it. We were way too busy. It's a good thing we didn't go though. Britton started complaining again about not feeling well. I guess it wasn't just because he was tired. I looked at his throat and just knew he had strep again. I took him to Kids Care and sure enough, it's strep. This time they referred us to a Ear Nose and Throat specialist. Britton has had Strep 5 times in the last 12 months. I guess we will see if he needs his tonsils out. His appointment is next week. And we rescheduled his Dentist appointment for later in the week.

I'm glad this weekend is over. Hopefully next weekend will be more relaxing.....
