10 Year Anniversary

It was a busy week as usual around here. On Monday I just worked the whole day cleaning, and doing yard work, and laundry. On Tuesday I was finally able to go in a volunteer in Corbin and Gabby's classrooms. With Corbin's class I was just out in the hall cutting things out. I would have rather been interacting with the kids. Oh well. I am happy to go in and help the teacher where I can. I mostly just want to get on her good side. Ha. Gabby was sooooo excited that I was there to volunteer in her classroom it was adorable. On Wednesday I ended up painting for a friend most of the day. I'm friends with a 50 something lady in the ward and she bought a huge amazing house in Eagle and is redoing most of it. My friend Jess watched my kids so I could go help Cheryl paint for the day. It was fun to get out and paint with her. On the way home she bought me a burger at a cafe in Eagle. It was good.

Thursday was our 10 year Anniversary. I can't believe it! It's gone pretty fast I have to say. We already celebrated our anniversary in Utah last week but I want to at least do something on the day of. I was able to find a sitter for a couple hours which is pretty good for a school night. We went to a dive cafe and got scones. I've been hearing about the scones at Merritts for years and I've always wanted to try them so I figured a 10 year anniversary is a good time to check something off the bucket list.

Scott worked all weekend at a home show in Nampa. Friday night the kids had popcorn and movie night and slept on the hide away bed in the front room. On Saturday I went with a group of my friends out to breakfast to celebrate one of their birthdays last week. Scott was working so I didn't think I could go but my friend Jen just told me to bring my kids over to her house so I did. We went to Moe Joes and it was really good. It ended up being spendy for me between paying a tip and splitting the birthday girl's ticket, plus I had to get hot chocolate. Oh well, it was really good and fun. Afterwards Jen wanted to go shopping for her trip to Mexico coming up so we went shopping for a couple of hours. Bless the Holyoaks for watching my kids for 4 hours. When we got back the house was not destroyed and everyone seemed happy so I think it went well. I made them cookies today to thank them.

I bought this table and lamp from my friend. The table was scratched up and the legs were chewed up. The lamp has birds on it if you can see that.

I redid the whole thing. Now I need to find a few more things to put on that table.

Crafty, artsy Gabby. She laid out all of the papers and taped them together. She then had me trace her body and then she drew herself. Ha. This girl is going to kill a rain forest by herself. So many projects.

We spent a few hours on Saturday and Sunday making our Halloween village.

I am so challenged when it comes to these kinds of projects. I cannot build those things. I helped Gabby with the double stacked building and could not figure out how to do it so I ended up hot gluing the dang thing haphazardly together. Corbin wanted help building his project to the furthest left but I couldn't do it. He ended up figuring out how to build it himself. Good job! I struggle with that stuff!

Here's some of Nana's pictures from our Utah trip the previous weekend. 

Scott is such a dork!
