Abbreviated Labor Day Report....(so far)

This week has been a whirl-wind. We will start with Tuesday.

Tuesday. Started season 3 of Arrested Development. So funny. Michael meets the mysterious MR F.

Wednesday. Cleaned the house. Went to an open house for Ben's new Dental Clinic. Went to the park with friends. Went to clean the chapel and talked the whole time.

Thursday. Cleaned the house. Ellie got sunglasses from our neighbor Sossity. Ran 2.5 miles in a race where I, a 20 weeks prego, pushed both kids in our stroller and got first place. Not to mention I started 10 minutes late. Did not receive a medal, thought I would, but that is OK. Ben ran a 5k, and is still really sore. Went home, made tons of popcorn, went to a night parade, saw Ben in on the Dental float throwing out Tooth brushes, trying hard to NOT hit the grandmas in the head. We then went to bed.

Friday. Cleaned the house. Went to the carnival, saw a local Indian Heavy Metal rock band, saw Indian Dancers, Saw friends there, rode rides, watched our big boy Aeden go down a huge slide all by himself. Had a Bonfire, tried to keep the kids from jumping into the fire, or getting burned, tried not to burn the house, had lots of s'mores. I love them. Went to bed.

Saturday. Left the house at 6 am. Almost ran out of Gas, waited at a podunk gas station until it opened at 7 am. Used the dirtiest bathroom ever, got gas, went to the ABQ temple, did baptisms with the youth, went to Costco, went to pick my mom up at her hotel, played with Grammy, Went to REI, spent way to much at REI, got some Chaco sandals, love them, got smoothies, played at an amazing city park, went to
the hotel, took baths, said goodbye, cried, drove home, got pulled over, got a warning, got passed by a high speed car chase (fast, fast, Red Mustang) with three cops on a two lane hwy at night, then got passed again while the car that was getting chased turned around and drove passed up going the other way with the cops following. Went to El Morro to watch the stars (SO beautiful), thought that predatory night animals would get us, went home. Delivered groceries to neighbor, went to bed.

Today (Sunday). Relax, go to church and just be together as a family. Drove around the sacred mountain. Saw a coyote. Ate ice cream. Fed the chickens....cleaned the house.
