Ten random things from the last ten days.

This post will just be a random list of 10 things that have happened in the last 10 days.  A readers digest version, if you will, of our lives the last 10 days.   I would love to add pictures to all of these events, but quite frankly that takes too long, and I just want to keep you faithful readers and friends and family up to date.

1.  I can't sleep at night, and I can't stay awake during the day.  I am tired all the time, and take a nap almost every day......  Sometimes I will lie down to "rest" during the day, and I end up sleeping for several hours.  I guess my body needs the rest.

2.  My kids have officially begun summer vacation.  We have survived almost 2 weeks.  I have enjoyed most things about them being home, but unfortunately I am the only person in the world whose kids bicker and fight.

3.  We rode the new Front Runner train down to Salt Lake and went to dinner at Tuccanos at the Gateway Mall.  Really yummy Brazilian food.We took all 5 of our kids with us, and they had a great time.  The little boys loved making "choo choo" sounds.  It was comfortable and very nice train ride.  Blake who is now 13 is now an "adult" when we go out to eat.  Good thing he has a big teenage appetite.  He ate, and ate, and ate. He said "This place should be renamed the man cave!"  huh??  What does that mean???

4.  We had 2 tadpoles.  One of the tadpoles who had just finished morphing into a frog died last night.  This froglet was my 5 year old Caleb's.  I was so scared to tell him, because I thought he was going to be so sad.  Well, he took the news rather well.  When we told him that his little frog was dead, he looked stoic for a moment, and then his eyes lit up and he said, "Do I get to flush him down the toilet!!!!"  a little too excitedly.  So he happily flushed the frog down the toilet and asked, when do I get a new frog?  I sure hope he doesn't act like this if his mom dies!!!!!

5.  We redid the floors in our living room. We tore out the carpet and base boards, laid laminate wood floor down, painted some, and it is looking fabulous.  We still have some painting to do, but once that is done we will get new leather sofas.  This is all made possible by George W. Bush's economic stimulus money.  So,  THANK YOU, George W.

6.  Saturday is mine and Dan's 11th wedding anniversary.  I am taking him away for a romantic getaway, but he doesn't know where. 

7.  My kids also have caterpillars that are supposed to change into butterflies.  I got these "nature science" kits so that the kids can do some fun learning during the summer.

8.  Ammon, my 2 year old went pee pee on the toilet for the first time this last week!!!!  YIPPEEEE!!!! 
I won't really push the pottie training until after the summer.

9.  Bekah, Abby and I watched the movie High School Musical 2 last week while doing pedicures and manicures.  They were FAB-U-LOUS!

10.  My tumor marker tests, which is a blood test that checks to see if my cancer is growing is elevated from what it was in November and February.  Could mean something, could mean nothing.  I will talk to the Doctor about it on Tuesday.  Could mean something, could mean nothing.  We will see.  I hate waiting.
