can't think of a title...

Well, I can't think of a good title for this last week. It was kind of boring! John was out of town for most of the week and I missed him. I sat around feeling sad the first of the week and then I got into a groove and got a lot done!!! I did a few pinterest projects, cleaned out my scrapbook room, cleaned the bathrooms (this is a big deal! my least favorite job.) and did some organizing in iPhoto. On Wednesday night the boys and I went to help Scott with a leak in his front yard. The boys worked hard! They found it fast and we were home in time for Mitch to go to institute!

McDonalds for dinner!

Eating with the kids! 
 Our neighbors got a new puppy! It is SO CUTE!! We are trying to be better neighbors and missionaries. I went walking with her this week. 



 One of my projects... 

I wanted to get my pens organized and have them lay flat. (they work better that way) I looked all over for the right kind of containers to put them in and couldn't find what I wanted... Then one day while I was thinking about it, i thought of using mason jars! What a great idea, right! I thought I was brilliant, I would save money and everything! (I hot glued them together.) Then last night I was looking through my pinterest pictures and I saw this idea... then I realized I wasn't brilliant, I had seen it done before and forgot all about it! Took the wind out of my sails! Sometimes I think I am loosing my mind!

Then I organized my ribbons! I had bought a curtain rod at Ikea a long time ago. I hung it all by myself and stuck my ribbons on it! It looks cute!!! Not sure how practical it is... what if I want to add another spool of red and I think they will get dusty?? Oh well, it looks good and makes me smile.



John was in Chicago opening Yumz store number 3! So exciting!! This is our first store opened by a franchisee! This franchisee is opening 6 stores in the next 2 months! Way cool. It is in a city called Bolingbrook. He worked really hard and came home feeling pretty sick. I don't think he got enough sleep there!



Mitchell's passport came on Saturday! Now we are working on his Visa papers and then immunizations. 

Well, that was our week!
