Today was one of those days that starts out as a lazy day and ends up being one of the most productive, but fun. Of course after enjoying PF Changs last night I couldn't help but wake up in a good mood! We got so much done - when I say we, I mean all 4 of us!
- We watched both sessions of conference, well most of it anyways.
- Got some interior decorating done. Brad & I bought some stuff last night at Pier One and had fun putting it together last night and today...a new vase, more flowers for our sparse vases, a mirror, a new big bulky frame, accents for the vases (ok -sticks & grass..), and a really cool sign.
- Hung the mirror & sign, decided to change the 'theme' of the front room buffet from a bunch of pictures to just a vase, candle & two pictures. We love it. We all went antique shopping a few times over the last month or so and have found some cool things. Hung the sign & mirror,too. Found homes for all of the pictures from the buffet.
- Scrubbed the truck....there were smudgy fingerprints everywhere on the seats & windows. I love leather seats.
- I watched Zoë run on the treadmill for almost 45 minutes. I decided that counted as my exercise today.
- Helped the kids get on their boxing gear and laughed my head off watching them go at it in the garage and front yard. I think the garbage men think it was some warped form of child abuse. It's pure entertainment! Trevor threw in the towel and Zoë wouldn't stop even after he got his gear off, in a tiff I might add. He was mad that she kept stepping on his bare feet with her tennis shoes, at least that was his reason for quitting.
- Picked up dog poop, pulled weeds & got the back yard mowed & the porch and driveway(s) swept & cleaned.
- Conditioned & brushed the dog.
- Ate Sonic for lunch. I never said everything we did today was productive.
- Changed all of the light bulbs in the hallway, front entrance and front porch.
- 'Rotated' the area rug in the front room. Yes, the dog had a good time with the part that is now under the couch.
- Got all decorated for the fall season!
- Got the house scrubbed - literally. Every inch of it. Trevor kept asking us why we clean the house 'all the time'. I finally told him that one of these days I'll take him to a couple of houses that I know don't get cleaned nearly as often as ours does and let him see what he could be living in. That gave him something to think about. And yes - we are OCD about a clean house. There are much worse habits to have people!
- We went to dinner with my little sis Lenzi and her son JJ. Dora's of course! It was so yummy. It was great to see all of the Hafen girls there! :)
- Got this months Ensign all read - WOW. There are some great things in there. I teared up more than a couple of times.
- The kids just went to Zoë's bedroom to watch a movie together. I'm sure I'll find Trevor asleep and will have to drag him to his own bed. It's a good thing he won't remember one thing about it. I love that they are such good friends underneath all of the brother/sister crap.
- I got this post done! I was way too lazy to write about Disneyland after I got that slide show done. I only have so many brain cells to waste on blogging!
Goofy kids....and one unhappy bee
Nice. This is how we roll in our neighborhood.
Jax doesn't like this hat. He's pouting.

The kids had a ton of candy to sort through. They got to pick out 20 of their favorite treats to keep. They're sitting out front on the park bench together right now giving out what was left. They think it was their idea to give away their candy so we didn't have to insist on it like I thought we would. That makes me happy. I'm also happy about not having a bunch of candy hangin' around the house! With our luck the dog would get a hold if it.
