a week in review:

It's a shame that I'm so busy, but not so much with the social scene, just life! There were days this week when I was literally out & about with my assistant ALL day. I now refer to these days as our "girls days." We go out and run some errands, eat lunch out (before you get jealous, most days it's at a joint with A LOT of crazies & the famous "golden arches"), then we'll go do something Savanna style--play at a park, hit up the local toy stores, or come home :) I have found myself on more than one occasion having a full-fledged conversation and yet, still have no idea what we're talking about. It's a great form of communication. She says what she wants, I say what I want, and we both have said our peace and moved on. I know the babbling will soon stop, but right now, I'm living it up! I surely don't take it for granted that she cannot talk back, or at least that I can't under stand it and therefore could care less. WOW! What was I talking about before? Oh yes, our week:


Monday-We relished the fruits of Easter, chocolate candies for breakfast AND we got a package in the mail from Nana containing $MONEY$, yeah!

Tuesday-We finally saw the sun & enjoyed the WHOLE day outdoors. Savanna helped me pick-up sticks, pick weeds, and occasionally would show me the great "treasures" she'd find (dead leaves, rocks, and dirt--WOW!).

Wednesday-I got the night off from RS, so we met up with Chris at a YM activity. Savanna LOVED the playground, but even more so the ORANGE soda & watermelon. What a great kick-off for the warm days to come :)

Yesterday-what did we do??? NOTHING! It was fantastic. I lounged around in my pj's all day and we watched movies and ate snacks. I did manage to get showered and dressed appropriately for the Church Leadership meeting I attended that evening & I must mention that the company was GREAT. I am lucky to serve with such amazing ladies in the Relief Society and that we are able to laugh through the stress :)

Today-We went to Costco...we didn't buy anything, but made a return and had lunch. On the way home we invaded our friends and played until naps...well, for Savanna. I did however find a bargain gift for her birthday. I've been on the hunt for a Little Tikes Cozy Coupe car since BEFORE Christmas, but I'm too cheap to pay full price & today Kim told me about one she saw at the store for $20 off! What!?! I left then & there to pick it up and it's currently sitting next to my front door waiting for Daddy to assemble it--I'll probably just do it while she's sleeping. Hooray! *Oh and Nana D' it was purchased by YOU!

I must mention that my return bag is getting lighter by the day & it feels great....now if I could just stop shopping! Seriously, our budget could use a little help from me :)
