Gorgeous Day!

Wow! What a gorgeous day we had today! At around 4:00 when I was out, it was around 76 degrees! Ryan and Cobe are feeling much better now that the antibiotic has kicked in. I went to church by myself and taught Sunday School then headed home. Ryan detailed my van; I mean professional job detail!!!! It looks brand new. He washed, waxed, scrubbed, shined the outside, then took out the seats, and vacuumed, scrubbed, washed and shined the inside. It looks like a brand new ride. It's all ready for our 12-13 hour car ride on Thursday just to get dirtied up again! :-) I hope it stays clean with all the work he put into it. We have to get the oil changed and air in the tires, etc. before leaving, so I guess he'll do that Wednesday morning. He washed his car later on as well. The kids played outside off and on in the beautiful weather. Sadie is going to be hard to keep inside this summer. She sleeps long and hard and immediately upon waking, goes straight to the garage door begging to go out. She gets worn out by playing outside so much. She slept 3 hours this morning, and at least another 2 this afternoon. I gave her a bath and she was in bed by 7:00. She does love her sleep!!! And I am NOT complaining.

I ran to Shoe Carnival this afternoon because Cobe was in desperate need of new tennis shoes. I got a pair and then came home and they were too big. So I made him go right back with me so he could try some on. He ended up with some sweet Nike shox, but they cost an arm and a leg. Poor thing wanted to wear them outside to play and both Ryan and I read him the riot act about not getting them dirty since they were his brand new shoes. Pretty silly since that is what shoes are for, but I do hate to see them get trashed since they cost so much. I hope he'll be okay wearing something else to school at least until the mud goes away. I made a couple of returns while I was out as well.

Lisa came over tonight and we went for a long walk. We are still on our "system" of sharing meals and it is still working like a dream. Last week she made Texas Roll-ups and a chicken pasta dish- both were scrumptious!!!! I made Golden Creamy Chowder and spaghetti pizza. Tonight I made a Cheeseburger Roll from the new Kraft magazine I got in the mail last week. Love that recipe magazine!!!!! (I know you do too Amanda from your blog!) They have the best recipes that are yummy and simple. I will making some more from this issue for our "system" of meal swapping. We'll have the Cheeseburger Roll tomorrow night.

I have bible study tomorrow night, packing/cleaning Tuesday night, and out to dinner with Ryan's parents Wednesday night before leaving at 3:30/4:00 on Thursday for vacation. So I am sure the time will fly until time to go-- 4 more sleeps!!!
