End of week ONE

marathon.  Owen has been on a marathon playdate since tuesday with Baylen. they switch off houses every night.  Ethan has been thrown into the mix a few of those nights and we have been off and running most of the week. 2 friends with pools have been awesome to let us come swim.  it's saving me from thinking about that stupid house up the hill with the pool that is too expensive and 'too small and not worth a move' according to Sophie.

anyway, we're tired.  we've been back up to the school to run around, play kickball, ride bikes then to chuck e cheese to tennis and more swimming, lots of popsicles and lots of pizza.  ugh. should fix that.

owen begged and begged to let him stay at baylen's again tonight so they can break their record of 6 days and 5 nights straight (set last summer) but i made him come home to do some work, practice piano and go to church with us tomorrow. When doug came home work turned into playing lord of the rings on ps3, hmmm.

After this week, i have decided that we need to find somewhere for owen and baylen to volunteer (operation gratitude, maybe?) lest they assume my days exist to go from fun thing to fun thing to fun thing.

Also, all my kiddos need the job chart back.  have to get em working.

that is all.  and you think i have any photos from this crazy week? not really.

p.s we have 2 parties coming up. one is a big 80's birthday party, you know how this girl loves dressing up! (please note the sarcasm) and then the premiere party for the crazy virgin atlantic/LA film fest thing thing Doug shot a few weeks ago.  kinda fun to have some grown up stuff out there among the chuck e cheeses of summer.
