Life 365 | Week 19

Monday, May 3, 2010
may3Today was my chosen day to do the A DAY IN MY LIFE Challenge, so my notepad and my computer were used all day. It was a crazy day with lots of cleaning, store assistant duties, being with the kids and more. A big highlight of the day for my kids was the great weather outside. They spent the whole afternoon (after school) outside doing lots of things including blowing bubbles. Beth loves the Spring flowers that are popping up!

Tuesday, May 4, 2010
may4Yesterday was so exhausting that I needed to have a more laid back day today. I accomplished a few things, but mostly spent the day being lazy and Beth and I completed another puzzle! I love that Beth loves to do puzzles!

Wednesday, May 5, 2010
may5Happy Cinco de Mayo! We had bean, rice, and cheese quesadillas for dinner and it is one of JJ’s favorites, so he was very happy. I decided to cancel my crop for tonight because I just wasn’t ready for it – so we actually spent the day/evening together as a family. We also got word that this afternoon, I became an aunt again. My brother, Toby and his wife Savanna had their second child – a little girl they named Briel Ruth Sorensen. Can’t wait to meet her.

Thursday, May 6, 2010
may6I worked on taking lots of pictures today and getting organized to complete my Photography Hunt Challenge. I didn’t get it quite done, but spent most of the day working on that. More cleaning and working on the computer too. The kids are still enjoying getting to play outside more! Joey was hoping that today would be his last day to have to give himself injections – but after visiting the doctor this morning – our hopes were dashed. He has to do it for 5 more days. We really hope the blood clots clear up soon.

Friday, May 7, 2010
may7It’s been nice to have Joey home all week, but I really feel badly that he has been feeling so awful. The blood clots, gout, and all of his medicines have really got him in pain and feeling down. But his girl can sure cheer him up. She snuggled and played with him in bed for a long while today. Since Joey didn’t have his podcast tonight – we had dessert first and went to Sub-Zero for ice cream and home for dinner tonight.

Saturday, May 8, 2010
may8I slept in awhile today. Joey got Aaron to come over and mow our lawn and then they headed up to Salt Lake City to do his podcast. The kids and I spent the day cleaning, making cookies, and being lazy. I also worked more on my photography hunt challenge – its still not done and I need to finish! The kids were glad to see Joey at the end of the day. I made all of us lay down on the ground to take a fun family photo and I thought it was very cute of the kids as they helped Joey off the floor. šŸ™‚ Joey brought home Mings for him and I for dinner and it was very good.

Sunday, May 9, 2010
may9There’s nothing like the 3am sound of a kid throwing up. Poor JJ got sick all over his bed so we spent time in the shower and cleaning it all up. He slept on the couch with Joey nearby the rest of the night. This morning, I was feeling pretty awful too and Joey is having a rough day, so no church for us today. What a great Mother’s Day huh? We did get our calls into our moms though, so that was good.

For family movie night, we watched An American Tail and since it was all about mice – we had CHEESE Quesadillas for dinner. The kids had fun preparing them!

And here is my weekly layout:
week19I used my MomentZ & DigitalĀ 365 to create this layout!

Project 365 | Week 3

Mondays are now Joey’s official day for recording his podcast. Joey and Pete have started TREKWEST 5, a podcast where they review tv shows (starting with Star Trek, The West Wing, and Babylon 5 – hence the name). Joey is really enjoying this new endeavor and I was excited to be able to create a logo for them!

We finally decided that it was time to put the Christmas tree away. The kids were not very happy about it – but they did help me get everything into the boxes. That’s the nice thing about artificial trees is that you can wait as long as you want before putting it away – the tree is not going to die on you! I grew up with having real trees – so I really do enjoy that – but an artificial tree is nice too!

The kids love BUBBLES! They got some in their Christmas stockings this year and I finally let them use them today. They spent about 2 hours (on and off) blowing bubbles. It’s really fun to see them having so much fun and actually playing together.

Joey and I both love reading. Our home is filled with books and movies. I’ve been in several book groups and I really love the variety of books that I have read because of them. Books that I wouldn’t have chosen myself, but had such an impact on me. A few months ago, I started an online book club that brings scrapbooking and reading together. Every other month we meet together in a chatroom and discuss the book, then we do a layout about our feelings about the book, and then I create a digital scrapbook kit inspired by the book as a posting bonus. It has been really fun and I enjoy meeting with members of the digital scrapbook community, getting to know them, and discussing books. This month’s book was Cold Sassy Tree by Olive Ann Burns and the book club chat was held tonight. I’ve recently discovered audiobooks and this was one book that I actually listened to, instead of reading it and I am so glad I did. To some members the book was okay, but kinda boring, but I found the audio version wonderful! I loved the humor and relationships of the story very much and I felt the man who read the book on the audio did such a good job of bringing the characters to life for me. I didn’t want the story to end.

Fridays are racquetball nights for Joey and Pete. Sometimes more of the Homestarmy boys join in, but most times it is just Joey and Pete. I love it when the kids and I get to join them. I try to occupy the kids while they are playing and then the tradition continues as we go out to eat at Mings! It’s a Chinese restaurant with really great food. Joey and Pete are the owner’s favorite people and he always treats us so well, like free calendars and last night, it was free dessert for Chinese New Year. I’m really glad that Joey has such great friends and I’m glad he gets his racquetball nights!

I am a night person and I hate mornings. Even if I get 8 hours of sleep (which I usually don’t), I still hate getting up in the morning. I rarely eat breakfast and Joey doesn’t eat in the morning, so breakfasts around here are very simple and it is just the kids. It’s usually yogurt and Nutri-Grain Bars and sometimes Cold Cereal. We do love breakfast foods like pancakes, eggs and bacon – but we usually serve it as dinner instead.

One night, several months ago, we were putting the kids to bed and Joey came up with the Bedtime Express. As a family, we become a train and chug around the house with the last stop being the kids bedroom and their beds. The kids LOVED it! What was an impromptu idea became a nightly tradition. The kids take turns being the engine and caboose and it’s the last thing we do before bed.

And here’s my WEEK 3 Layout:
