Holy cow that was one long saturday. BUSY BUSY!

today was a success!

i got up at 9:15 am

i went with my sister in law Alicia to get bunko prizes for bunko. and they were DARN FABULOUS. we were done in an hour. 10:00 AM

i rushed to Costco. did my shopping in half an hour which i think is a RECORD! and rushed home to get the family for haircuts. 11:00 -11:30 AM

we Rush out the door to Brooke's to do haircuts for everyone except me. 11:45 AM

the 101 was shut down so we had to take the 202 west to the 143 to the I-10 to the 202 East. 12:00

let me tell you THEY ARE FABULOUS! everyone looks great! some kids look like totally new people. hallelujah! thanks Brooke YOU ARE AWESOME!

and holy cow huge surprise, Pierce sat fabulously for her. i totally didn't expect that, but i think after he watched all the siblings sit nicely, he followed suit! yay for that! and Lance even got his done! THANKS BROOKE, YOU ROCK! plus it was so fun to sit and chat while everyone got done. and even to chat with Paige for awhile! 12:30- 2:30 pm

rush home. start to make my beans for the Family party with the in laws, and realize I'm missing an ingredient. rush to Fry's and buy a gift for the birthday we were in charge of, and the missing beans we needed. 4:00 pm

make the beans. and get everyone changed into swim suits, grab towels, and a change of clothes for everyone, and rush to the party. 5:15pm

adults sat around and hung out while the kids played on the giant water slide, and a tarp covered hill slide.

we ate. 6:30

did birthday's and left. 8:30Pm

rush home, unload the Van. 9:00 pm

grab Sunday clothes for the girls and drop them off at my mom's for their Saturday night sleepover. 9:30 PM

rush to walmart. shop around for the last minute stuff to embellish Joy's hand me down boy Backpack , and cat food. ( I'd wanted to go to a craft store, or the ribbon store but they all closed before i could get there. but walmart always does great in a pinch.) I'll take pictures of the before and after. I'm debating whether i should do it now or tomorrow. tough choices. 10:00pm

came home. and checked email. looked at a couple blogs and now this. i know you are thrilled i didn't forget to post. 11:00pm

and now i should go do some laundry, and embellish that backpack. 11:33 pm

but honestly I'm kind of cranky. and tired. there is always tomorrow night right? actually there is not tons of time tomorrow night, i will have to go to bed at a decent hour to get up for BACK TO SCHOOL! dread. for me. talk about a double edged sword. i wish we would have started easing into a schedule weeks ago. now i just might keel over and die from the early hours. YUCK!

have a fab Sunday.

How was your Saturday?

i know mine made you tired just reading about it. it was CRAZY for me too!
