An Easy Morning

Last week was a little odd for us schedule-wise. We went to Santa Clarita with Derek on Monday. He was there for the day for work and the kids and I hung out with Kenny and Kathy. And I had a dentist appointment! We've had such terrible dentists since we moved it Arizona that we decided that it was worth the drive to go back to our old dentist-- and it sooo was. We love them! Then on Tuesday Derek took the day off to do some more work around the house, including removing more of the dreaded Yucca plants. But there is good news... he's almost done! There are a few stragglers that need to be trimmed or removed, but for the most part the ones we want out for now are out. There are now huge piles of Yucca plants in our yard as we slowly remove them through our green trash bin every week. We also had a doctor appointment for Anna on Tuesday and everyone was so excited to get their annual flu shot, too! Wednesday was the normal PE, Piano and Awana. Thursday was catching our breath, barely. Friday there was something at a church in the morning that we went to and then off to IKEA, which I'd been waiting months to do. Did we do any school work? Ummmm... not much all week. But we're back in the saddle this week.

Here are some pictures from one of our slow mornings last week.
