Non-Stop Saturday

Our non-stop day started pretty early.  I got up at 6:30 to get ready and go to the temple.  Autumn woke up, and begged me to stay home today and just snuggle and spend time w/ her.  I was really torn about what to do, b/c both choices were good ones.  I decided that she is my #1 priority and this stage in my life, so I stayed home.  We snuggled for a while, both fell back asleep, and then finally got up at 8:30 and got busy cleaning out her closet.  She has SO MANY clothes & shoes, so we took out the ones that are too small or that she doesn’t wear anymore.

We left at noon to go pick up the sister missionaries from a service project they were at.  They were helping w/ a garden for another religion’s church building.  It was HOT outside, so we “had” to stop and get a drink on the way to taking them home.  We love the sister missionaries!

Mom had us stop and pick up Chipotle for lunch, and we went over to Monzingo’s to help them pack.  They’re moving to a new house out in the sticks that is a lot farther away from Mom & Dad’s house, yet they’re moving into Mom & Dad’s ward in their new house.  YAY!!!  After we finished eating, we packed until 3:30 and then had to leave b/c they were having a showing at 4:00.  Autumn & I went and dropped of a 4 big boxes to the local resale shop.  Then we went and vacuumed out the car & got it washed b/c it was FILTHY!!!  We went to Mom & Dad’s and cooled off for a little while, and then we followed Maggie out to her new house & unloaded the back of the truck w/ their boxes.  Unfortunately, their electricity won’t be connected until Monday.

After we left Maggie’s, Mom & Nick & Autumn & I all went to Winco to do some grocery shopping.  I had coupons for a package of FREE Oreos, FREE 4 pack of Totino’s pizzas, and FREE 2 two liter bottles of Dr. Pepper.  Autumn & I ran home to put away the groceries, and then I took her over to a local cheer place where they were having open gym for just $10.  While she was there I went to Hobby Lobby to get a few items for some gifts I need.  I saw this sign and it called my name, and luckily it was 66% off, so it came home with me.  I LOVE IT!!!

I had an hour and a half to kill before I needed to go get Autumn, so I went to Mom & Dad’s and we had biscuits and gravy and tater tots (carb fest) for dinner.  The Monzingos got done at their house b/c it got dark, and they came and ate dinner w/ us b/c they’re staying here.  I went and got Autumn at 9:15 (she’s the yellow blur in the back).  She had so much fun playing w/ some of the other girls from her team.

We came home and I put her right to bed b/c it was already 9:30.  I watched the 2nd DVD in the Love Comes Softly series, and I didn’t mind watching these FINE looking gentlemen.  I’m so thankful for good and clean and wholesome entertainment.  WHEW!  This was a crazy busy day, and it will be nice to have a restful Sunday.
