not a lotta

alexis stayed home from school on thursday. she needed a break and it was nice to have her around. it was also nice because she was able to keep frankie home while she napped and i was able to run errands with just delaney (alecia kept addie when i dropped lily off after preschool). she also played with this lucky baby for awhile. :)

looove when they play with each other.

that night matt had school and i had a rs training. my buddy laney came with me (she's always around!;) she was an excellent sidekick. she did this most of the night:

friday was matt's friday off. that meant that i got to take addie to pre-k round-up all by myself. i cannot believe my big girl is old enough to be registering for school!(even if it is just pre-k) we filled out a bazillion forms with all the same information (what a waste of paper!), they checked addie for risk factors (we scored a zero:( ), and then they took addie back to "play games" with her. from talking to addie, i deduced that they did not ask her her name, any letters, numbers, colors, or shapes. either they really did just play games, or addie is not very forthcoming with her time away from me. i'm leaning towards the latter. but she was very eager and excited at the prospect of going to big girl school. fingers crossed that she gets in!!!

we didn't have any other plans for the day, so we didn't get a lot done. our back yard plans are all on hold. our shed won't be ready for 4 more weeks and we're waiting for a couple of estimates to see what our next step is. matt did get out to break in our new lawn edger. he mowed front and back and then edged it up all pretty. i actually really like mowing the grass, but he wanted to do it because he's got a navy physical test coming up. next time's gotta be my turn!

while he mowed i watched as these two put 20 coats of lip gloss on.

she's in super goofy picture face mode all the time now.

monkey girl also ate some bananas. (;

christian was supposed to have a baseball game friday night, but it got cancelled because it's been kinda rainy. so yay, no plans again! lexi was trying to petition to spend the night with a friend, but i haven't been wanting them to spend the night away from home lately, so i hadn't decided yet. i did let her go over after school though. then she texted me after about 30 minutes and said she didn't want to spend the night there after all. it makes me wonder if she felt the spirit telling her that staying the night wasn't a good idea and i'm proud of her that she listened to it and trusted me enough to ask that i come get her. in the end, she had a different friend over to watch some movies. good night. :)

today was another pretty relaxed day. christian had practice at 9. then i took him, lexi, mike, and david into town and dropped them off at their respective parties and then ran some errands. we had a baptism at 4 and then matt took the little girls (minus delaney) to a campless campfire that ended up getting rained out after about an hour. now everyone's home and it's raining and i do love a rainy night. :)

we're still figuring out the bunk bed rules. and the girls are still into switching beds every night. tonight was frankie's turn on the top bunk. this pic was taken while matt was reading them their story, he told them they had to stay on their beds, so they were moving around as much as they could while still being on their beds.

after stories it was prayer time. little girl prayers are so super sweet. and they are so cute. so i asked them to fold their arms so i could take a picture. of course they both full-on prayed again, so i hope it isn't too bad that i snapped them while they were praying...
