Busy Saturday

The Barnes went out the morning for some yard sale runs. We went to Sophia's birthday party. We came back home for lunch and a nap then Daryl took out the two big boys for bowling and geocaching. They had a good time and were out for a good while. I took Andrew out for a while to Walmart and to the Parent Teacher store. While I was gone Rachel cleaned up the kitchen which was super nice. I took dinner over to some friends that just had a baby and the Barnes went to the park for a picnic playdate with the Kohrs. We are just hanging out now watching some TV relaxing from the day.

Hiking Gone Wrong

So the dads decided to take ALL the boys out tonight for a hike. We should have had second thoughts about that when one fell on the way down the driveway before they got started. About 20 minutes later they called us to come get the little boys. We were on our way and then Jacob started getting in trouble so he was sent back as well. About a minute later the rest of the gang ended up coming back as well. It wasn't the most successful of trips.

Daryl is Home!

After being gone for almost a week, Daryl is finally home. Yay! So happy to have him back. Hez and Rachel let us get out after the boys were asleep. Thankfully we got home just in time for Jacob to wake up after peeing the bed.

Yard Sales and a Haircut!

I got to go out today and get my haircut. So nice that I could do it during the day and Rachel watched the boys for me. I ran out in the morning to check out a few yard sales. Got some stuff but there were not very many.

Date Night at Home

Tonight Daryl was gone so Hez and Rachel stayed home instead of going out for date night. We instead watched some recorded shows and Rachel made some yummy spinach and artichoke dip. It was a nice evening.

Free Time for a Trampoline

One of Rachel's friends has a neighbor that might be giving away a trampoline. That was a very confusing sentence. Anyway, I ran over there with the two little ones and checked it out. It was really nice one and would be awesome to have but I don't know if they are going to get rid of it or not.

Rachel took out the three middle ones and did a few errands including getting a milkshake. :)

Increased Motivation

I don't know why but while the Barnes have been living here my motivation to do housework and such has been higher than normal. I don't know fully if that for a good or bad reason. I don't know if it is because I see a need and just do it, if I want to serve the others, or if I just want to look good and get praise. Truthfully it is probably a lot the last one. That is a pretty sad reason but hopefully part of that motivation will continue when they leave.
