A fun Saturday

The last few weeks it has been so fun that the boys could go out to "check potatoes" with Daddy.  I got invited this week.  The fields are growing like crazy, and the boys love to pick off the baby potatoes on the plants that Daddy digs up to check on.  It is so fun to ride in Daddy's "cool truck".  We also stopped at the last cellar to stock up on spuds before they are all gone, and harvest comes in the Fall.  It is so neat to find potatoes as big as a foot!







Then we got pizza for lunch, and headed to Home Depot and Walmart because our Daddy finally decided that we need a swingset.  (Why is it that you can say something over and over, but until it is his idea it has no significance?)  But, due to the ease of online shopping, nobody carries such big items in stock anymore.  So, we ordered it online and it will be here in 7-10 days.  Then we headed home for a nap, then a fast dinner and we went to the movie theater to see Cars2.


 It was AWESOME!!  I had free movie tickets from cereal purchases that expired by the end of the month, plus I bought the awesome Fandango deal, so we all got to go to the movie and get popcorn and a pop and it cost $11 total.  So fun!  I love the stage we are at because everyone is so easy to take places.  We are lucky to have such good boys!

Other fun things we did this week: 
Monday - colt's bday
Tuesday - story time at McDonalds, KidsBowlFree after daddy got home from work
Wed - Free movie at the theater - Despicable Me.  Then swimming at a friends house (full size pool)
Thurs - picked cherries at a friends house, then rode bikes to the library to see the Pacific Science Center displays.  Fun hands-on activities.  That night Dave and I went to Ward Temple Night
Fri - cleaned the house.  Had a friend over in the afternoon to play.  Turned a movie on for the boys and had grown-ups over for a game night.  (it is fun to get together with friends we don't see often enough!)
Saturday - see above
Sunday- friends over for dinner, more friends for dessert, and the Home Teacher came during that too.  Dave taught a lesson in EQ - not his favorite thing to do, but he succeeded.
