A busy day

Since our days usually aren't that busy I wanted to document our busy day yesterday for journaling purposes.

5:30 am: wake up, get ready, wake up kids and head to mom's for garage sale with my sisters

6:30-9:30 sell stuff, go back and forth from the house (where the kids were) to the yard a bazillion times, run to the grocery store

10:00 Primary rehearsal for program on Sunday. Even though I know Natalie will not want to go up, I wanted to let her see how it kinda goes so she might want to try.

10:30 leave. We didn't get to the part when the kids all say their part. Oh well.

10:35 get home, eat early lunch, put Han down for early nap

11-12 Prep for dinner and clean house

12:30 wake up Han and get kids ready to go to Mark's cousin's baptism

1:00-2:30 baptism. It was really great and special. Loved seeing the family, sitting, and showing Natalie all the stuff we had learned about at FHE this past week.

2:30-3:30 hang out at the cousin's house with family and friends, enjoy visiting, kids melt down just as Mark arrived. Drive home with screaming kids.

4:00-5:00 Calm kids. Clean house and make dinner

5:20 dinner guests arrive

6:00 head to the church to have homemade ice cream with other ward members

7:30 go home again with screaming kids.

8:00 kids are asleep. Rest. Read a book. Ahhhhhh.

It was crazy, but I was blessed with energy to last the whole time. The kids were mostly good and I was please with only two major meltdowns. I thought there would be more.
