RS Progressive Dinner June 2010

The Quiet is Over!

Well so much for the quiet week... Friday morning, bright and early (like 6:30 a.m. early!) I was helping my DD move back home. How much stuff that kid has accumulated over the years - yikes! After some serious discussion, it looks like she will be getting the new room, once the carpet gets installed. That is supposed to happen this morning, but for now, my living room looks like this -

AAAAHHHH!!!! It was also double duty weekend with the kids, so by the time I'd picked up T and V from camp, the part-timers had arrived. Can anyone be expected to function in this?? I won't even show you what 5 boys can do to one bathroom in a weekend... sheesh! Especially after they've been at camp for a week. I will give you a peek at what they brought home though. Yuck!

I did get a couple brief moments of peace eventually - sort of. Saturday morning, DD woke up late and I had to drive her to work. Once again - 6:30 a.m.!! Here is what we saw on the way...

Got back home from that drive and just had time to get ready for our RS Breakfast for the July birthday girls. (Being in the Presidency has it's perks!) I went over a little early to help - but also to just be with some grownups in a clean house! Doesn't this look good? Sorry to put that in the same post as the dirty feet - but you can see why I needed the break!

Saturday was also the RS Scrapbook Day at the chapel. I was sure I was going to be the only one for awhile, but eventually some showed up. We had a total of seven sisters who just worked and chatted. It was nice to just sit in the cool, air conditioned chapel and play with my Cricut. Ahhh... peace at last!

Best Part of My Weekend - Relaxing with grownups in clean places.

Worst Part of My Weekend - Cleaning up the mess after the part timers left Sunday night. :( :( :(

Three Things I'm Grateful For

1. Air conditioning!!
2. Peaceful moments to myself.
3. Everyone is home and safe.
4. Extra one!! The carpet installer just arrived!! yay!!

Graduation and a Relief Society Party

This week has been a busy one! Lots to do to wrap up the school year... still working hard on the rooms (unfortunately!) School is out for the summer now and I know I'm going to be busy with the boys for most of it.

Thursday, was T's 4th grade graduation. Very important ceremony! Normally, the grade 4's would not be leaving the school. However, with the new middle school going up and ready for the fall, grade 4's and 5's got to graduate with the grade 6 kids this year. Here are a couple of really cute pics.

T walking down the aisle to the "stage". He was so excited to dress up for this one!

Thursday was also his final game for baseball! Yay!! I missed it though because I was off to the RS Annual Progressive Supper.

Not sure if this pic will show up but...

It was a very fun night! These pics are only of half the attendees - the rest went outside into the hostess' beautiful backyard. Lots more people than we'd bargained for came and that is a good thing! Good friends, great food and wonderful camaraderie. Felt good to have a girls night and laugh for awhile... before the summer break really kicks in.

Back to working on those never-ending rooms...
