Cool and not cool

This is is our week in a nutshell. Some if it was cool. Some of it was not.

Not Cool: literally not cool-- triple digit weather all week and no end in sight! At least it is cool inside the house!

Cool: finished baby projects! Yay! Although my mom won't care for the pink and brown blanket, (she's not a fan of brown) I still like it.

and the carseat blanket:


Not Cool: Hailey cracking her head open at the ward party.


Cool: Hanging out with good friends........not cool.....saying goodbye to them because they are moving this week.

Cool: The pregnant ladies club.........not cool.....that patterned shirt makes me look twice the size I am. OR I could just be in denial which is probably the case. In that case, don't feel like you need to set me straight. Denial can be a really nice place to be. ha ha!

Not cool: getting up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom for the 3rd time and as your eyes adjust you realize there is a huge scorpion right by the toilet. Even more not cool.....getting woken up from a dead sleep by your wife who is freaking out about said scorpion and having to get up to kill and properly dispose of it.


Cool: Our first full week with Garrison home. It's so fun to have him around all day and he is such a good helper. I can't believe how much he has grown up this past year. His first day home he got all of the kiddos breakfast for me, without me asking, while I was taking care of something.


Not Cool: Wet toilet paper. For some reason my girls think it is a great idea to play with toilet paper in the sink. I guess I should count my lucky stars that they are playing with it in the sink and not the toilet. However, it sure makes a mess. My dad said "wait until they figure out that when you wet down toilet paper and throw it at the ceiling it sticks there." You better not tell them that Dad!


Cool: My favorite time of day. When Conal comes home from work. The minute the kids hear his key in the door they all 4 run to the door and yell "DADDY!!!!!" and give him a great big hug.

Oh I loved it! I'm sorry about the not cool things though. But what are you talking about with that shirt? I was thinking you looked absolutely awesome. I couldn't believe it when you made that comment about yourself, girl!
Also, LOVE the baby blankets. You always have the cutest blankets. You've really got an eye. Hmm. Maybe you're a "color freak". ?. J/K

Oh, p.s.: I never turn the light on when I have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. Every time Jeff turns the light on at night I yell "I'M BLIND!" I hate the light on and adjusting eyes, so I probably wouldn't even have seen that scorpion. Now that's disturbing kind of.

Conal was reading your comment about not turning on the light and he said "Yeah! What's up with turning on the light!" and I said "So I can avoid things like scorpions!!" ha ha.

I agree with Mandi, you looked great in that picture! You always look fabulous! I love those blankets...you are so good. I love the pink & brown.

Dude, those "Not Cool" things are pretty crappy. Especially the scorpion thing, that's up there with the mice hatred! :(

Here's hoping you have a much better week!
