procrastination

is a beautiful thing while I'm busy, but a horrible excuse when I'm not. Okay, I have been busy, but could have taken the time out from reading to actually post. And I tried; the pictures wouldn't cooperate.
So, this is what happened [in part] last week:
Tuesday-Thursday: camping up in Heber w/my in-laws. Wed [July4] had a huge family picnic- my mom's family- and saw one of my cousins for the first time in about 5 years. Kids got terribly muddy and had a great time exploring and playing w/each other.
Friday: unpacked, sort of, from camping. Spent time w/Jared's family. Tried to get laundry washed for Jared.
Saturday: Jared left for Colorado for a week [?may be a day or so longer, depending on drive time] Rest of the family went to his mom's family reunion. This would be the second year he's missed that reunion. I'm beginning to see a pattern... Had a great time- Walker has a 2nd cousin his same age, and they hung w/each other and had a blast!!!
Eventually got the kids home, tired and sticky, and began to wash clothes from camping trip. Dad cut down a branch on our tree- he was parking his RV in our backyard, and the branch was in the way. Also took out our mailbox while he was backing up said RV. Mom was standing right next to the mailbox, waving and shouting "STOP!" "CUT!" and there was a crunching noise, then he hopped out and said "Why didn't you tell me to stop?!?" Which set me off laughing, rather hysterically, as I was sitting on my front porch, watching. :) Later that night, I went to a crop at Vicky's house, and actually finished a few pages- thanks for all the inspiration!
Sunday: church w/family, playing games after.
Monday: I took Hyrum & Morgen to the dentist. Morgen got sealants on her molars, and Hyrum got a cavity filled. Washed a bunch more laundry, as did everybody staying w/us. Watched the fires in So. Utah get worse; then Mom, Melinda and Jon took off for St George trying to get there before the freeway closed. Had Ryan and Julianne over for Family night; they like it because they get to play w/my kids, and I like it because they play with my kids LOL. Oh, and Jared's phone prank called me 3 times, once at midnight. Apparently it misses my phone ;)
Tuesday: Rested, did more laundry, watched "Eragon" which was good, but I liked the book better.
Wednesday: Just got back from HP5. They left out a LOT of stuff, but it was still a pretty good movie. Hyrum kept saying, "I'm bored. When is it over?" which was how Morgen felt too, so they talked to each other for most of the movie. Walker was totally sucked into it, Myles ate popcorn the whole time, and I thought it was pretty good.
So, that was our week.
