Playing House: Just another one of those blog posts written at 12:30 am.

I'm busy.

So busy.

I'm so looking forward to Wednesday when I leave for the Newspring Leadership Conference in South Carolina. I neeeeeeeed a break! Ohh man.

So you know that bullet point list I made a few days ago. Yeah that seems like a really lame idea now, I have no motivation to follow through with that list. Plus there's other things I'd rather blog about.

So here's the quick version :)

the flat tire fiasco I had on the way to my much needed hair appointment concluding with the new tire install annoyance I got a flat tire and missed my hair appointment and I could have joined Peyton and Vandis in a cry fest, but instead I called Progressive Roadside Assistance and watched Dora with Peyton while someone came and changed our tire. Good story huh? Gosh, who made this list?

Vandis sleeping on his tummy Yep. He's old now.

Peyton no longer even trying to be potty trained outside the house This is mostly true. I just don't really have the motivation to keep trying to make her go on the big public potties. Someday soon. It'll happen. She's not even 2 yet, so I'm ok with her just being potty trained at home.

the new volunteer position I have taken up in my church's youth group I am part of a 3 person team called the "Hub" We work out all the logistical things that the youth group does. It's time consuming but exciting and worth it!

the new volunteer position I have taken up in BSF I am a discussion leader. Which is entirely crazy. But, I'm excited to see what God does through me and in me this year as a result of that.

the old and loved volunteer position with ALIVE that I have temporarily let go of because of my graphic design class I needed to let something go while I am taking this class, So Alive it was. I am really sad about it and it's really really hard to stay out of it, but I have to be a mom first and being gone Monday, Thursday, and Friday nights was just not going to be OK.

Ok. Glad that's done.

Now... on to more recent events that involve cute pictures.

I went to the Great Minnesota Get Together aka, The State Fair with my MIL and BIL and kids. On the hottest day of the last few weeks. We toughed it out, there was a nice breeze so that really helped. Because it was so hot, I didn't really feel like stuffing myself with tons of fried food, so that was a helpful thing for both my waistline and my wallet. It was Van's first fair adventure and he seemed to have fun. He likes people and stuff to look at, so the fair is a great place for him! Peyton had a blast too!
