32 Things I Did Yesterday

1. Woke up at 4:15 to pray Addie back to sleep after a bad dream.
2. Woke up at 5:00 to feed Brody. TOO EARLY.
3. Slept for 30 minutes and then got up.
4. Went to VBS.
5. Sang some catchy tunes.
6. Led a group of 1st graders on a SonRock Kids Camp adventure.
7. Made a bookmark.
   
8. Left early.
9. Drove to Janna's house for a little party.
10. Stopped by a grocery store on the way to pick up popsicles, and it's safe to say that except for my kids, I was the youngest person there by 30 or 40 years. It felt like the Twilight Zone.
11. Arrived at Janna's super cute house.
    
12. Ate good food, drank yummy lemonade.
    
    
13. Laughed with friends.
    
14. Celebrated our friend Joanne, who is moving away for a year.
    
15. Swapped stories, shared our hearts, and laughed some more with friends.
    
    These girls are blogging friends turned real life friends. How fun is that? Joanne said it best: "these women are exactly who they present themselves to be--only even better in real life." I would never have dreamed that starting a blog three years ago would've led to to wonderful friendships like these.
    (Pictured above: Holly, Janna, Amy (my sister), Paula, Joanne, (me!) - Not pictured: Kimberly and Amy (who doesn't blog, but is a delight!) (Missed you, Mer!)
16. Came home. (FYI, Janna - 32 minutes door-to-door.)
17. Was e-x-h-a-u-s-t-e-d.
18. Laid down to nap... Brody woke up 3 minutes later.
19. Brody did not want to snuggle.
20. Gary came home.
21. Tried to come up with a plan for the night.
22. Came up with one!
23. Changed it.
24. Came up with another one!
25. Went to Islands in Boulder for dinner. After using up the balance on a gift card and eating on Kids Eat Free Tuesday, it was under $5! Score! Left my birthday card from Emma on the table. Sad.
    
26. Took the kids to see "Up" in 3D and more than made up for the $5 dinner. (Gulp! Movies are NOT cheap!)
27. Both laughed and cried during "Up." I loved that Brody snuggled me and slept through most of the movie. The poor guy is teething and it's been hard on him.
    
28. Wanted a picture of my kids and I in our glasses to remember the great night. BUT... Gary tried to take a picture and realized I forgot to put the memory card in. Doh! It's not the first time I've done that, and it really irks me. It really was a sweet moment though. So memory card or not, I'm showing you. First, us in our glasses:
    
    Second: Gary sad about the memory card.
    
    
29. Went back to Islands to see if they saved the card I left on the table. They DID! I cried again. They said it was so sweet and they hoped someone would come back for it. How could I not?
    
    
    
30. Felt lots of love from family and friends, especially on Facebook! Wow!
    
31. Ate some Phish Food before bed. Perfect way to end a great day.
32. Turned 32. :)
