Busy, Busy Week!!!

What a crazy week! I am so relieved that tomorrow is FRIDAY! It's weird because I don't even work outside the home and yet the weekend is still priceless! I think it's because I know I get my husband back and we are a family on the weekend! :) This week was a lot of late nights and fun things going on. Monday we had a friend from our ward who's parents are out of the country for a couple of months over for dinner...then Matt took Luke and Emma to the movie Speed Racers. Luke has been dying to see it and we finally found a night that worked. Although they didn't get home until almost 11:00 p.m. on a SCHOOL NIGHT! Yikes. But they all loved the movie. Gavin was very wild that day and so I stayed home instead of going to the movie with them and standing out in the lobby.

Tuesday was another late night...it was Luke's talent show. Poor Matt, there was a Court of Honor for one of our Young Men getting his Eagle and they needed Matt to present it to him. So he went to that and then tried his hardest to rush to Luke's performance, although he forgot one small detail...they held it at the high school and not the elementary and so he missed it by about 15 minutes. I was just relieved that he came when he did because Gavin was at his limit. He did enjoy all the music and was dancing in the aisle for most of the numbers, but the talent show had 39 acts in it and it was getting a little long. Luke was ADORABLE! And he loved performing. They had all the kids that participated get back up on the stage at the end to do the Macarena. It was very cute. They also had a surprise act and a bunch of the teachers, the assistant principal and the principal did a dance at the end. Very fun for the kids.

Wednesday Matt left town and we had Luke's football party at none other then CHUCK E. CHEESE (yikes!) The kids had a blast and it was fun to say thanks one more time to his awesome coaches. Coach Andre is a P.E. teacher at one of the local elementary schools and he was great with the kids. The other coach was the grandpa to one of the little boys and to this day I still don't know his name other then "Coach Grandpa". He was VERY cute with the boys.

Luke is very proud of his certificate and trophy!

Here's some of his teammates...Ian (on the left), Jordan (in the green shirt), and Christian.

Today must have been friend day! Emma went to the beach with my friend and her little girl. My friend was going to meet her mother-in-law and some of her family and she wanted Emma to go to play with her little girl because there were no children at the condo they were going to. It felt soooooo weird to have just Gavin hanging out with me! So I went shopping all day and spent some of my mother's day money! It was a joy! Then after school Luke went swimming with his friend and I had to go to teach dance. Our dance recital is coming up on May 31st and I am stressfully trying to get all 5 of my numbers cleaned up and ready. So there you go, one busy week. And then to finish it off, tonight after a crazy night of teaching dance, running back to take the babysitter home, and grabbing dinner, I was rushing around trying to get kids to bed. Emma was sitting in her bed reading books, Luke was in the bathtub and I was trying to get Gavin in bed so I could concentrate on the other two without Mischief getting into things! So I get him in his pajamas and I turn around to throw his diaper away and he makes a beeline for the bathroom and before I could even run after him I hear Luke laughing in the bathtub and I walk in and there is Gavin in his pajamas in the bathtub with Luke !!!!! That little stinker! He thought he was so funny too!

He is really doing some funny things. The babysitter told me that tonight every time he did a number in his diaper he would take of his pants. At one point he even took off his diaper too! Almost like he was trying to tell her that he needed a diaper change! Maybe we will potty train early?! :)
