Store

I told Sophi and Natalie I would take them to the store ONE TIME this week. They acknowledged this provision, and decided to have their one time be today. Sophi needed a birthday present for a friend (so many bday parties...) and Natalie wanted to buy a 4th of July tank top "for only $5 bucks, which is cheaper than it would be at Uptown Cheapskate cause shirts there are $6 dollars..." Well since it's a deal. And they bought candy, some for the bday gift, and some that they ate in the car. I dropped them off at Target to do their stuff while I went in for my 4th blood draw, just to make sure my numbers are down all the way. They were supposed to be back out when I got back, but they were not finished yet. I took away their phones last night when I woke up to use the bathroom at 3 am and at that time I found them awake and texting friends. Corey took their phones with him today so I wouldn't be tempted to give them back. I went into Target to find them rather than wait out in the car with them not able to text me with their excuses of why they weren't ready. These kids!

My results from my blood draw should be back tomorrow. I think everything will be shown to be in order. 

Last night for FHE we just did some dancing and had ice cream. Corey said their might be a wedding sometime this next year (we're hoping Mel and Christian tie the knot) so in preparation (no pressure you two, haha) we decided to brush up on our Napoleon Dynamite dance (tutorial here if you want to learn it!) and did our Just Dance favorites: Dynamite, That's What Makes You Beautiful, Rasputin, and Waka Waka. We're ready to have fun. I'd really like to learn the dance that the CDK does during the chorus of "Somebody That I Used to Know" - it would be so awesome if we broke out doing that! haha

This morning I didn't go on a ride. Instead I started today by reading. I read Simple Abundance . I'm still in March and want to catch up, I did finish March today so yay now I'm in April. I read the March 28 devotional which talks about getting rid of fashion mistakes and cleaning up your wardrobe. So I spent a couple of hours going through our clothes and I now our closet looks very nice and freshened up. She also talks about having a "hope chest" (Mar 5), a "toy box" (Mar 6) and a "comfort drawer" (Mar 7) and so I went by Hobby Lobby to see what I could find to do those, cause I do want to do the homework she gives. I was ok to just wander and let my creativity get some juices. I almost wanted to buy this neon light for Peter...

I didn't, but maybe I'll go back and get it. He'd like it. I let myself splurge on some flowers - 

And then I made a summer arrangement for the kitchen table!

I used the basket that Joseph and Eliza gave us after Grandma Foreman's funeral. I really like how it turned out.
