oh HAPPY day

So Friday started and ended GREAT! It was just an extra busy day for me, but worth all the exhaustion I am now faced with--not to mention the numerous chores and endless filth I am currently conquer. Savanna's doctor called in the AM and gave us the "all systems go" signal with a negative strep test. Yeah! So we packed up the car and headed out to a mini concert, at PotteryBarn Kids, I was sure Savanna was going to love. Boy, was I wrong! She wanted nothing to do with the singing, but instead took to "tucking" herself into ALL the numerous display beds, rearranging the doll house furniture, emptying every ball out of the "boys bedroom" display, and last, but not least...almost walking out with multiple treasures--ONE of which I was forced to buy because she'd already been chewing on the straw. Ugh! I must also mention that I did not think to bringing the stroller, because she's been so good about staying with me. And that my folks is how I ended up trudging through the mall, carrying a 40lb. child, TWO jackets, purchases, and the like. All the while Savanna is making sure that EVERYONE we were passing acknowledged our presence by saying "Hi" and "Goodbye" at an octave level of 10. Then it was on to McDonald's for lunch with friends (note to self: do NOT ask for direction from Rae :)) After multiple wrong turns we arrived about the time that they were finishing. Then we headed over to Target together where I snagged a super cute summer purse (on sale!) and matching summer/gardening shoes for Savanna and I. Then it was home to prepare for the evenings activities: a dinner date with the ladies to celebrate the pending birth of "baby Palmer". A dinner I barely took a bite of and had to dash off to meet my husband at "Seth's daycare" (the babysitting hubby) and meet the missionaries at an investigators home. We were running late and then got lost, but seems we showed up at just the right time--amazing how that happens. :) Then it was home to write my lesson for the ward activity on Saturday. SERIOUSLY! **I also was dying to dive right back into my current book, The Lost Memoirs of Jane Austen
