Going into Overtime!

I'm back! Whew...where do I start. Let see...last week the kids and I went out to Weatherford to swim and hang out for a day. Always fun to get away. We used to go to Texas and now that Joshua's parents live here we go visit the Siemer's. We mad a quick trip back to put together a going away gathering for the Goss's who are moving to New York this month. Just so you know Wal-Mart makes great cookie cakes but try to give them some advance on when you need them by or you will have to wait on the cake decorators helper to get back from the trash can. Thursday night we had a meeting at the church building to learn how to use our new online directory...very cool! Friday, Corban stayed at his Grammy and Pa's (my parents). He had a lot of fun playing with Wesley and Desmond my parents foster kiddos. He came back with a few minor scrapes that he gets all the time and a new habit of banging his head on the wall for fun! Not a good habit with our family history of concussions. Saturday, I helped host a baby shower for Tara and baby Kaison. I think that was the best shower I have been to in awhile. Very laid back and relaxing. Went out to pick up Corban and hung out for a couple of hours. Great Great Grandma, who also lives with my parents(full house), got to hold Landice for the first time. She was so tickled...I am so thankful that children will do that to you at any age. Later that day, I met the Siemers at PS Mall. It started out bad from the beginning. First of all, I tried the covered parking area where the ramp starts to take you to the second floor. I found a parking spot very quickly. Ha...there is a reason for that too. I unloaded Landice (sleeping) into the stroller and carried Corban (sleeping) up the ramp to the stairs thinking that there was a walk across or elevator. Wrong! Sweating profusely in my shower clothes and heels, I walk back, put the kids back in the car and find another spot not in the covered area. Go to a different spot and it is opposite of where the Siemers are. So I reload the kids again (awake) and get into the mall...drenched. Gross, I know. I find my family and we head to Limited Too for Alyx. We get there and Landice is way to happy to be in her carseat still. So I check her out and she was leaking out everywhere. She pooped on my boob, my stomach, the car seat, burp wrag, and the back of Zina's shirt! So I stand there in front of everyone wiping off my boob while Zina and Alyx go give Landice a bath in the sink and change her on a cardboard box. So she is naked and needs to be fed. So we go into Macy's to find a place to feed and clothes to wear. Well, she is not in need of clothes (except for that day) so I didn't buy anything on sale for over $20. She remained naked throughtout the mall experience. Corban begins to melt down so I give him some strawberry ice cream and the Siemers let me go to the Limited to shop. That was all I needed...Retail Therapy. Everything fit great and a need purse/diaper bag to boot! What a day!
