Friday night

So I'm a few days late in posting this, but whatever... My friend Jessica called and asked if I wanted to go to Salt Lake for the opening of the Twilight movie. Wouldn't have dreamed going otherwise, but Hey, girls night out? SURE! So we all went out to dinner and then over to the Walmart in Riverton. Whoa... Talk about a lot of people. The "line" started at the front door and weaved through the prescription aisle, then to the end of the garden section, all the way up to the back of the store, through sporting goods, and started weaving down through the electronics. And that was from where we were standing. I'm sure by the end it was snaked around the entire store. Thousands of people... But for good reason. There had been rumors that a 'celebrity' would be showing up. We decided there was no need for autographs (not THAT big of a need) so we just stood in the mass and waited to get a picture. Not that we had any idea who would actually make an appearance. Well, here is the first picture of us when we arrived. I'm not in it, but these are a few of the girls I went with.

Then finally Victoria (Rachelle Lefevre) came. We didn't meet her or anything, but took a few pictures from a distance. Then we got out of the massive crowd and got some snacks and met another one of the characters....

EDWARD!! Seriously - right?? No, he is not a cardboard cut-out, he is a real life person. There was a costume contest. This kid had red eyes, the hair... we got our books signed by him and gave him a few votes for the contest. (ok, so we gave him as many as we could before the lady behind the counter said - ONLY ONE PER PERSON) :) Not sure if he won or not, but he should of.


Chris doesn't like this picture.

And the Bad Mommy Award...

...goes to...? ME! Yep! Forgot the sunscreen. Darn it if that wasn't the last thing on my mind when we went to the park today. It was great fun actually. I hadn't ever been to this particular park, but Sara invited us for a picnic. It was like a big castle... it had sandboxes and a closed in area for the littler ones... we're definitely going to have to go back. Of course no pictures actually AT the park having fun (or the pile of rocks the boys collected saying they were dinosaur teeth) No, I had to take them after we got home and realized their faces were bright red. oops!

This picture was to show off his sunburn, but I think the chocolate face mask is the more prominent feature. Ice cream for dessert! YUM!


My poor fair skinned children. 3 hours in the sun just isn't a good thing for them. The good news is that it'll be gone (or at least better) by this time tomorrow night and even at the expense of their skin, they had a blast today. :) Thanks Sara!!

7 months... I lasted 7 months

But the drive to work was just too great. ;) I actually don't know what is possessing me to go through with this, but I am going to go back to work. Just temporarily and just at night. I'll go in after Chris gets home from work - not doing the daycare thing anymore! My office is probably the only place in the country that has too much work and I offered to help them out during their 'crisis'.

My boss called me up just to make sure I still wanted to do it, and he said they have a project working out of our Kaysville office that I can just run with. Its sick, but hearing about working in Inroads and Microstation... doing vertical alignments, plans, estimates, it makes me want to be involved. I don't miss the work when I compare it to taking care of my kids but if I get to be with my kids all day and then do that as well? I don't know, its hard to say no. Plus I've spent 6 years with this company and feel a sense of loyalty or something with them. I just want to help out any way I can. Anyway, it'll still be a couple weeks before I go back in, but I am excited!!!!

Reaper is BACK baby!!!

Ok, so this may be the longest clip on youtube about Reaper, but its funny, and I love this show - and you just can't have a clip thats too long. Plus it'll catch you up as to who he is and what he does. :) Tomorrow night, CW 30, 7pm. OH YEAH!!!! (you ready Carrie????)

Sunday night

Well we had a fun night at our house last night. Chris was busy making a lemon pound cake and talking to his parents while I was in the living room reading. Eli was twirling in the living room with this paper thing he made in church. So we have Eli... in the living room... with the paper 'thingy' twirling around. Any guesses??
Here is the paper 'thingy'

The wall in the living room...

Crack. He tripped and split his head on the corner of the wall. And of course its a head wound so - BLEEDER!

Chris took him to a after hours clinic because (of course) its 7:30pm on a Sunday. Why do accidents NEVER happen during business hours? I'll never understand it. Anyway, a lot of crying and 4 staples later my baby is fine. Chris said he actually didn't cry during the numbing shots they gave him or the staples. Just right when it happened and he was seeing all that blood. He slept all night and when he woke up said only that his head a little. Well I gave him some medicine anyway but he is running around the house perfectly fine. You'd never guess. And his hair is long enough that you can barely see the staples today. Now what to do about preschool tomorrow. Am I a freak to be worried that he might get paint on his fingers and then scratch his head? or some other kid with their dirty hands get near it? I don't know. I'm sure he'll be fine. Maybe I'll throw a big bandage over it or something. Anyway, this is our first (of I'm sure many) trips for stiches/staples, casts or other such emergencys. Fun times... fun times...
