Busy three Days!

Well vacation is over and back to work we go.  The last three days have been extremely busy.  I think this is the first time I have been able to sit down and relax without a little girl by my side and that is because she fell asleep at 6:00pm.  The kids and I had fun on Thursday, we went to the dress reahersal of the play "Anne of Green Gabels."  I must say it was a great play.  I am sure for those of you who know me, you are curious what got me to the play?  We are watching the lead in the play (Anne) while her parents are at a wedding.  She did such a good job I am hoping to go see it again with Nathan, because he was unable to attend since he was at church meetings.  It made for a late night for everyone. 

On Friday morning I took the 3 kids to the splash park and left Tim at home because he was too cool for all of us.  I was able to meet friends over there and enjoyed catching up with them after 3 weeks away.  We got home to find Tim gone to the High School to help his dad.  We all decided to go down and lend a hand.  It was good thing we did because he put us all to work for the next four hours.  I took Sam to his back to school night to meet his new teacher Ms. Hiebel.  I was able to go sign the kids up for soccer and Sariah begged me to be in dance, after meeting the dance teacher at the school.   We made it home in time to feed Vanessa and get her to the play for opening night.  It was nice because our good friend (adopted Grandpa) came by to see the kids, we had a great time with him.  I feel asleep early and woke up at 10:00 pm worried about not getting Vanessa at the play.  It's good thing Nathan and Tim are night owls and got her. 

Today was very long, we started by cleaning the car and the house.  We then went down to the school to help Nathan for another four hours.  We then had some tacos for lunch.  After that we went straight to our friends new house for Nathan to help move a pool table.  While we were there we all went swimming in there big in ground pool.  I have decided that we should all call Sam a fish.  He was in there for almost four hours straight and still threw a fit to leave.  Timothy enjoyed all the attention from the 3 girls all his age.  After getting Vanessa to the play Nathan and I enjoyed a nice date with no kids.  It is really nice having a babysitter in the house!!!  I am looking forwards to Monday and school starting. 

Sariah ready to be in dance!! She went and found it all by herself and got dressed to go, to bad it doesn't start until September!
