So my dad took the boys to see the Utes play at the Sun Bowl in Texas over New Years. So the girls thought that it might be fun to take all the kids to St. George. We thought wrong. Lots of miss communication. We left Friday at 12 noon. Friday was Ok.
Saturday was the opposite. Friday night my mom, sisters and I decided that we wanted to go shopping on Saturday. We decided that going in shifts would be best. Mom and Camille would go first at 10 and be back by 1 so that Manda and I could go. I didn't really have anything in particular that I needed to get. I did want to get some shirts for me. Pretty much all of my shirts are to small and are getting so warn out that they are getting holes in them. We would switch off tending the other kids all except for the babies Brielle and Gracie. The babies had to go with their mommy's. I thought this was going to work out great. I thought wrong. I pretty much was the only one babysitting because Manda was putting Lianna down for a nap. Shopping was fun though. Manda and I went to JC Penny to get Clint clothes, then to Kid To Kid, then to the outlets and our last stop we went to a Down East ModBe Warehouse sale where all the shirts where $3. We made a hall. After our shopping trip we all met at Costco. Camille had left her baby formula at home and had to get some. Then we went to dinner at Panda. Four adults against 6 kids is not my idea of a vacation. We had to separate each child to eat. By the end of the meal every kid was upset about something. That night the adults stayed up and played UNO until the new year.
Sunday was crazy too. No one was ready to go to church until 1. Camille decided that she was going to put Brielle down for a nap but never left her room until we went to church. Thus me babysitting again, We walked to church because it wasn't that cold. We missed the sacrament. After sacrament mom, Camille, Jordan, and Brielle went in the chapel to sit. Manda didn't think that there was enough room in the chapel to sit so she and I stayed out. I was feeding Gracie, Lianna started to wonder and got lost. Amanda found her and decided to leave because was worried about Lianna getting lost again. She left in a huff because mom wasn't there to help. But mom didn't know she needed help. I went in to for the rest of the meeting and sat with Camille, mom, Jordan, Brielle and Gracie. The rest of the day Gracie and I took an nap. I think it was a well deserved one.
Monday we went out to breakfast. Kracker Barrel. Yum. It took a while. Apparently a lot of other people had the same idea. We had planned on leaving at 1. We had to be back to pick up the boys from the airport. We went to the house and started to hurry and clean up and get out of there. Manda went to Walmart to get treats for the ride home and didn't seem to come back for a while. She was making keys and it took longer than expected. We didn't get all the laundry done and took 2 whole garbage bags full home to wash. we finally left at 2:40. Before we left Kai misplaced his IPOD. Mom and I had been looking everywhere to find it while trying to clean and do laundry. Manda came home and was panicking about it. She didn't want to leave with out it. She mom and I had a shouting fight about us not helping looking for it. We never did find it. The trip home was a very quiet trip. I was so glad to be leaving.
Needless to say there will be no more baby sitting trips for me. We are back now and are all getting along just fine. Man am I so happy t be home.
