Weekend Update

On Saturday, we had a million errands and we made good time, thank goodness. Shar and I had a date that night (shopping at Goodwill & Golden Spoon Frozen Yogurt) and our Bishop's daughter watched the boys at their house. When we went to pick them up Bishop gave us a bag of his home grown veggies including this huge onion (pictured below). I love onions and use them a lot in my cooking. Bishop plants A LOT of onions and told us not to buy them at the store anymore. (I had bought 3 that very day for my menu that week). One of my errands on Saturday was to my favorite store for the kids Once Upon A Child, except now that we've moved we go to a different one and it is more than twice the size of our old store, so it was great! I was looking for Church shirts and tanks for Marce and found exactly what I wanted. Marce even got an ABC's train floor puzzle! I thought Marce looked so smashing in one of his new church shirts, I had to take pictures on Sunday. The color looked even better on him in real life.

I am trying to collect puzzles and games here and there for Marcelus and I to do together during the day, especially when Phoenix is napping so I can try and keep Marcelus quiet and spend some quality time with just he and I. He really needs more of that and I'm realizing he behaves very good when he gets that attention. While grocery shopping yesterday I got him Chutes and Ladders for a whopping $6. We tried to play last night but I was juggling dinner, baking bread, and dishes so we didn't get very far because of all the commotion but I think we'll get it done in the next couple days. I was trying to teach him about moving his person so many spaces and everything. Next time I go to the store I'll get Candy Land. He left his Backyardigans Memory game at grandma's and asks about it all the time! But we'll be back late June so we'll be able to get it then. I love to see him learn when we play these games. At first it's a little frustrating but when he gets the hang of it, it's priceless. More pictures soon to come, and Yay for Marce's swimming lessons which start tomorrow!
