last week

instead of blogging, i took a long nap on the bed in between my girls. painted every character from winnie the pooh. and every disney princess. drove four really cute ballerinas and one future ballerina to ballet. held my ground during a major ballerina fit. started watching the fringe. went on a lunch date with christian. twice. spent an afternoon cuddled in the big bed watching the land before time with both babies. downloaded sheet music for the piano and sang with madelyn and livs at the top of our lungs as we played the song from 'the land before time' and 'it's too late to apologize' over and over. had a sushi lunch and marathon play day with my best friend and her best daughter. organized my books by color. wrote my missionary brother a letter. enjoyed a slushie and a show every night with my hub after the girls went to bed. spent a lot of time on bhphoto.com trying to decide on my new camera. inventoried my pantry. spent too much time at babygap.com buying winter wardrobes for the girls. finalized the cookbook. told mady stories about the fat hippos george and martha and remembered laughing with my mom reading about them. (remember when george peeks in martha's window? and the split pea soup?) admired our new pumpkins. made cafe-rio-ish salads. worried about decorating for enrichment. finished off the can of bug spray for a family drive on the four wheeler. considered running a race with mer. said goodbye to summer. ate more vegetables. deleted two thousand pictures on my computer and ordered prints. missed my mom and dad. talked photography and discipline with my favorite sister in laws. (they're all my favorites.) asked christian again to find me apples to bottle. watched olivia climb all over and stand and swing in her baby swing. started going to ward choir.
wrote in my journal instead.
