WWW ~ U Fish, Birthday Party, Costco and Home Improvements

Holy smokes talk about a full weekend, I'll keep this short since it's late and this is also a crazy week at work and I need all the beauty sleep I can get :).

Saturday I worked as usual 6am to 10am and then it was rush around get the boys dressed and out the door.

Stop #1 we met up with my GF and her 2 boys at a U Fish. Ok yes those who know me know I'm so not the outdoorsy person. My GF that we went with is and always makes fun of me, it's just not my gig. But my boys are boys and love to go outside and get dirty and fish are cool. Yes I let them be boys and play in the dirt so take that people who don't think so!

Here we are fishing the boys got 2 each, I was the baiter.

Yes that is my YUCK I can't believe I'm touching this face!

All the boys had a ton of fun and it was worth every penny!

No I didn't take home fish :)

Caden of course got board quick but they had animals!!

So we walked around and checked them out!

Stop #2 of the day was a birthday party. So after fishing and lunch I had to run to get a gift and then to the party. Sadly it poured down so we didn't stay long.

Stop #3 was Costco for some quick groceries. Then it was a melt down for a very tired Caden.

Stop #4 After naps was to the 7th element of hell (AKA McDonalds Playland). The boys were bouncing off the walls. Usually I hate that place but it was one of those things you have to do. Then home for a quick bath!

Sunday we went to visit my other GF and her kids, sorry forgot the camera.

Also we had some home improvement going on!

1st was the couch had a friend sit on it and break it :(. Thankfully Rick was able to take it apart and fixed it!

Then when we first moved in 7 YEARS ago my parents bought us doors. One set is the french doors we already put in, then was this other door that thank god has been stored under beds and rooms and was still intact. My parents would have killed me if it was broke, would have been a $400 oops. So the adventures in a pocket door has hit my house. Let's just say this quick install was my whole wall taken down to the stud and then those were taken down, a new header installed and all new sheet rock! Let's just say the mudding is still going on, my house is still not back to normal (one week later... ugh)

My dad came to help, thank you!!!

Cole even got to screw in nails to the drywall and knock down a wall!

Door in, sheetrock up but still mudding!

Holy Moly Ok there it is that was a weekend and some. One day I'm going to get some piece and quiet! LOL

When is it moms day?

So yesterday was oh so fun as usual. I work my usual Morning shift, mind you DH didn't work the night before he actually got to go out with his friends and play Lazertag. So you would think ok this Saturday morning he can help with the kids. For the most part he did keep one in the room with him, but the rest of the time it was the usual me trying to finish up my calls while the two boys are screaming at each other! UGH!


I finish up my calls start getting dressed and ask DH to get ready and we can drop his car off and then I could go to my eye appointment. Hold on to your horses I'm actually leaving the house by myself, I should have known a fit was about to come ... LOL. My friend was to come pick up the diaper cakes while I was gone. Well I didn't mention this to Rick and he is a big one for things being done in a certain order. I know I keep telling him we have kids and most days hello my plans never stay the same! UGH. So he throws a fit like one of my kids, and gets all angry that I'm leaving for my eye appointment (yup you know big fun) and we won't get to his car fast enough.


So being the mom I am that always puts all before myself, I do it yet again. I skip the pedicure that I was promised months and months and never have "me time" to do. I run to Costco get my eye exam, even get gas and I'm out of there in 30 minutes! Yup no walking around for me. Call home ask him to get the boys ready I'll be there in 10 minutes. I walk in the door and one kid is half dressed! DH of course heads for the door and I'm left with 1 and 1/2 kids to get dressed and in the car. Rush down and meet him in Puyallup at the Tire store. We then go to that Costco to check out frames for my glasses. DH starts walking up and down every isle, driving me nuts because Costco on a Saturday is not the place to just hang out.


We fought the crazy people who just let there kids run up and down to each free sample almost knocking people out of there way to get there. I love free samples as the next person but holy moly it was a free forall today. So thankful to get out of there and go pick up his car.


Now I left the tires to Rick, which I should have never done. When he first called they had the tires at $470 plus 3 free oil changes. Go set it up and now they all of a sudden don't have those tires but the step above. Well let's just say they charged my account $620 after some yelling I think I'm getting $35 back? And oh yeah they didn't want to honor the oil changes either! They are so lucky I was in another car and already home by the time he told me. Let me just start DH had to buy this silly car that was totally out of the budget but he has this thing with nice things. We totally grew up different he didn't have a lot so having nice expensive items now he loves, me I grew up with a family that had money but didn't and still doesn't share ... LOL I live on a budget and always has. So now back to this car that had special size tires on it that of course no one carries! Ahhhhh. I'm so writing a letter to Big O Tires, don't worry I'll post it.


So that was the morning ... ha-ha. Did I mention DH got to go to work that night so me and kids that are still a little sick so no outdoors! Ugh. I'm so getting a pedicure and spending a total of $20 on myself! Baby steps ... LOL
