Labor day!

Monday was Labor day!  It's always nice to have a day off from school and work.  Most of the people from Alan's work got together for a potluck brunch.  It was at a really fun park in San Marcos.  Beside playing on the playground they also played ultimate frisbee and frisbee golf.  We had a fun morning and early afternoon playing there.  It was a pretty warm day and we all got a little hot there.  On the way home we stopped in Target to look at some book shelves and organizing type things.  Later we went swimming at the pool of one of Alan's co-workers.  Then we came home for dinner.

The best looking plant in the back yard.

I'm not sure what we had for dinner...besides broccoli, but Connor sure got a full tummy.

Tuesday was back to the normal...school and work.  We tried to work on getting more done around here.

Alan caught a Lizard out front.

Jared got brave enough to hold it.

Wednesday we went to playgroup in the morning.  Then after school I took them to the library for the craft.  They got to paint cupcake banks.  Even Connor did a really good job with it.  Wednesday or Thursday evening we went to home depot and got some light bulbs.  Lots of the bulbs in the house were burned out and combined with the fact that there are no lights in bedrooms upstairs it was just seeming really dark in the whole house.  I was really glad once we got more bulbs and changed them so it seems a little brighter.  If we were going to live here forever I would definitely add more lights.

Friday I took Bradley and Connor to story time at the library.  Then we did some shopping at Frazier Farms.  We are starting to get in a little better routine and more used to being here.

Saturday morning Alan had to go into work for a little bit.  The rest of us went to a builder workshop at Home Depot.  They got to make football ring toss games.  I let them paint them...which was a big mess!  Alan called when we were about ready to leave and said he was done and would meet us at home so he could go to the library with us.  The library was having a big celebration for the 100th year of being a branch...I think.  They had a ukulele band there and crafts and ice cream with toppings.  After the library we did some  grocery shopping...then just more trying to unpack.

The only person I know who can get away with eating only sour cream (and maybe a few bites of something else) for dinner.

Sunday Alan taught Elders Quorum and I played piano in primary.  That night was an adult fireside at the stake center.  Alan went and I stayed home.  At the fireside they talked about how it is the stake's 50 Birthday and they want to give a special gift to the Savior.  They talked about some goals they have made for the stake for Temple work.  It was another good week.  Progress around here is slow, but we are making progress...and that's all that matters.
