Monday...the first day of a whirlwind
April 6, 2009 - Today started out okay, but never seemed to end. We got up not knowing what we were going to do. We took it easy and hung around the house. It was a rather busy and somewhat tiring weekend so we really weren't that anxious to start out running today. Of course, the kids had to play Guitar Hero. They have been having tons of fun battling and also just playing two player on the new and old games.
We got up, slowly got ourselves together and then decided to go to the thrift store. We ran to Kami's to pick up the pics she had scanned so that Carolyn could take the ones to Mom and Dad, Eric, Keith and the ones for her. We headed to the store and Carolyn got to enjoy the joys of taking my four to a store! It was insane! I did get a chance to shop a bit and picked up some clothing for Ashton and Keegan. Carolyn got some clothes and books for Tori. We also ran into Sandie while there who was there with Erika. Between the three of us, it was doable! Amber took the kids while I shopped, I took the kids while they tried stuff on, Sandie took the kids while I shopped some more, I rode the kids around while I shopped...it was over an hour to maybe 2 of shopping chaos with 6 kids and 2 adults!
After we left the store, we decided to go to CiCi's for dinner. I called Trav on the way to see if he was going to be able to go, but he was tied up at work and didn't know what time he would be out. Thank God we didn't wait as he didn't get home until 6:30 or so that night. Everyone seemed to enjoy CiCi's. We all ate well...the kids ate their favorites and Carolyn, Tori and Amber all tried different pizzas and of course the cinnamon rolls and brownies.
Here is a random pic of Keegan just enjoying himself.
We got home from CiCi's and it was back to just chilling out. Carolyn and I talked about the sheet mom sent to use as a curtain and Carolyn cut it in half so we could hang it. We decided we needed a curtain rod and that we would get one someplace else since we didn't find one at the thrift store today. Can't wait to see how they look hanging in the office!
Of course, the night ended in a way that none of us wanted....Madison, Keegan, Ashton, Carolyn and I all got sick. Yuck! We hope that this is just a 12 hour thing like it was with Braden on Sunday. Wish us luck with that!
