Saturday is a Special Day

{can't help but sing the Primary song when I think of that}

Nathaniel is SO EXCITED for Cub Scout Day Camp today!!! A sweet family in our ward picked him up bright and early this morning to take him! THANK YOU! It's from 8-2. He wishes it was longer! He is such a cute Cub Scout! {Reminder to self - need to add his Bear patch & arrows on scout shirt}

Today one of my oldest {not OLD but known her since I was born} & dearest friends, Patsy, is celebrating her son's baptism today! He turned 8 in June but has been very scared to put his head under water as long as they can remember, so they spent the summer trying to help him get past his fear. Now he feels ready! So, we're going to celebrate with him! YAY! And she's having lunch at her house afterwards! FUN! Haven't gotten to hang out with her in a while.

Since General Conference is coming up next weekend, tonight is the wonderful General Relief Society Broadcast. I love going to listen to the awesome speakers! I always come away feeling totally uplifted and renewed! I also feel very blessed to be a woman, daughter, sister, wife & mother! Our stake is also having a big salad buffet after. I signed up to bring a salad. Can't wait to socialize and munch too. {FYI - my Mom told me that the RS Broadcast should be on the BYU channel tonight at the same time for those who cannot attend in person. Check your listings to see what time & channel.}

Oh and my sister-in-law, Merrianne, just tagged me! So, I'll be thinking of 7 things you don't know about me! Hopefully I'll have time to post later today (if I can think of that many things)! LOL

HAVE A GREAT SATURDAY!!!

Summer Heat & Chores

Here's my handy dandy atomic clock that also reads indoor/outdoor temperatures! This was taken yesterday! Look how HOT it was in the afternoon!

(Indoor temp - LEFT / Outdoor temp - RIGHT)

Now look how HOT it was 3 hours later!
Man it has been HOT here! Only ONE degree cooler!!! I had the a/c set at 80 most of the day because we were gone. I turned down to 78 after we got home. But look, our house didn't cool down too much because it was so HOT outside!! YIKES!! Hope you're not all frying like we are! ha ha

I found this in our pool on Thursday morning!!!

Eeeewwwww!

What the heck?? Didn't know that birds could drown!!!

I had to fish it out (with our pool net) and bag it & trash it! Poor bird.

Guess that means One less bird to poop on our cool decking, pool fence, patio, and eat our dog food!

Thursday evening after our great family swim, the kids headed to the shower! Not all at once! Nathaniel hopped in first. However, I think the girls were bugging him, so he threw his swim shorts at Felicia! Well, the rivets on his shorts hit her right in the eye! They both got in trouble! This is what her eye looked like the next morning! She's also tired, so her eyes are sleepy puffy, plus the red mark under her left eye!
Here's my little man helping pluck & wash grapes. He LOVES helping with this little chore. ha ha. He got a bowl out for each kid & filled 'em to the rim! Now they're gone. I guess only the kids get some. Ashley was nice enough to share ONE grape with me since everyone else downed theirs already! Thanks Anson & Ashley :)
Apparently, this is what it looks like when you put new rolls of toilet paper away in the storage room! ***NOT***
Toilet Paper tower
Not exactly my idea of "putting away" LOL

Ahhh, and here's what it looks like when Felicia is re-sorting the kids' dirty laundry. Or at least that's what she's supposed to be doing.
{she still doesn't realize she's been 'caught' not working}

She had sorted the clothes according to color like I had asked but it got all messed up! It definitely needs re-sorting!
{sorry, don't mind all the dirty undies}

Here's Ashley & Anson taking a break (from what? I don't know) and watching some tv together! Oh wait, I mean Anson & Fairytopia watching tv together! ha ha

Hope your day has been more productive than mine!!!
