Last week of school!
I guess that's a happy thing around here for most. I am looking forward to having the boys around all the time, MOSTLY. I think Rylee is the most excited to have them home to play with her. Not sure that's their idea of summer vacation... playing house, Polly Pocket, hide and seek (actually they do like that one.)
We just finished dinner and I have to tell you dad, I only ate one helping of mashed potatoes. I believe that's the first time in my life I've done that. That was VERY VERY hard! Leaving the garlic bread and brownies alone was almost as hard. I'm trying to not have white stuff for 2 weeks. I get a dollar for each day I can do it. Blake thinks I should give him a dollar a day also. I should, I don't think I'd lose too much money. No one else has wanted to try.... anyone out there?
We had interesting church today. 8 Seniors talked, we had a musical number and there was still several minutes left, so the bishop stood up and said that was good, he had something to say. He is going to be released next week. It was funny, it was quiet before that, but it seemed like everyone quit breathing. Stillness in the air. Should be interesting to see how a new bishopric will change things up.
Jacob is really happy right now, and miserable. He broke his sneezing record, 13. Yea Jacob. We all have our accomplishments. I hope by writing about our life you all don't think we are strange. Tanner thinks so. Oh well, it's just my way of distracting myself away from the brownies.. they seem to be calling me.
did you hear them?
maybe it's just in my head.
We didn't have a lot of excitement this week. We actually had a night with no plans. The kids kept asking what we were going to do. I guess we must have an activity. So, we ate smoothies and popcorn for dinner and watched National Treasure 2. It was a fun night. They thought dinner was a trick. It was yummy.
We decided to list our (other) house with a realtor. Hard pill to swallow, but it was getting to be too much for my stress load. Hopefully now it will go away very quickly.
Tuesday will be fun, our A/C guys are going to start. YEAHOO! Maybe I should have waited till July and I'll appreciate it even more.
Tanner has a job interview coming up this week at a dry cleaners. Maybe he can do his own laundry now. :) Weird to think he is that old. I guess I have carried on long enough now. must get away from the chocolate devil....have a Super Memorial Day everyone!
I came across this song on another blog... good reminder.

Hey me and Konden will go without the white flour for two weeks, too. Don't worry about the brownies, they are never as good as you think they will be (unless you are going without white flour-then even doughnuts are tempting) Spesking of..I have a recipe for lower fat whole wheat brownies. Oddly, they're not quite as good as their full fat counterpart. Uhhh..you're making the rules, does this also include refined sugar? I also have a recipe for healthy banana cookies-maybe I'll send you an email...
this is konden not mary now. Brownies are not white dummies, they are called "brownies"!!! I'll join your diet but we don't buy wonder bread anyway so anything goes, even "brownies" not "whities". Also, is tanner practicing up on his guitar? I'd like to hear him play me a song when you guys come down. I'll have to blow the dust off of my guitars though. YO!
Did you just call me a dummy???????? I'll remember that! Yeah, Tanner is practicing his guitar. His band teacher lets that count as his trombone practice. Go figure. I never had a band teacher like that. Oh wait, I never took band.
Hey, if you really want to appreciate your a/c more, just trade houses with us for a week this summer, our swamp cooler is great...sort of. And also, thanks for punching me right in the pregnancy hormones with that song(it was really sweet). At Felicity's graduation, they did a slide show with the song "Let them be little." Yeah, I think I'll always be a Newey emotionally, pregnant or not.
