Busy Week

Ok since my kids were gone this week, I worked some extra hours. I also got Christopher's room cleaned and started on Beth's. I made Keith breakfast in bed one day and tried to get things done for our trip to Penn.
Yesterday, Keith went up to Decorah to move his brother Kevin down to Nevada. The move didn't go very smoothly, they arrived in Nevada at about 9:30 pm. Needless to say Kevin slept at our house last night.
Meanwhile..........I called Best Buy and our camera was done, but still needes to be shipped to Ames. Hopefully we will get it back before we go to PA, but we have to figure out something else for Beth this next week.
I went to Pella to get the kids. They had a great time at VBS! They also did some fun things at Gma and Gpa's like playing cops and robbers and going to Thursday night in Pella. It was Shakesphere Night! They even ate supper uptown! My mom said that made up for not getting to eat out during Tulip Time since it was so cold and rainy. We had an ok trip back to Ames. Beth was to be at the lady's house who is to be her counselor this week, to make T-shirts. We got there on time. I shut off the car and then came back and it wouldn't start! I got a ride to get my other car, however our towing company had someone jump it. When I shut it off it didn't restart. So we jumped it again. I decided to leave it there and take my other car. Our other car was loud, but then while I was driving it to Nevada to get Keith and Kevin, it got louder. When we got home we noticed it had something dragging.
Well, we drove it to Chris's baseball game this morning this was his last game. It was kind of a rough start with us all being tired and he forgot his glove. He did get 2 good hits, a good play at 2nd and a chance to be the catcher. Then we went up to Ames and Steve Gray our hero helped us get a new battery for our cavalier.
Then we went and unloade Kevin's stuff. He is basically moved in.
Ok so now I need to say some of the great things I need to be thankful for-

• My car didn't break down on the road and we were able to get both of them running for now.
• Kevin is now only 1/2 hour away from us instead of 3 hours! He has a great little house and really seems to like his room mate and staff.
• Since we had to go back and get our car, we bought a very nice futon for $25 at a garage sale.
• We were able to spend time with Kevin and his roommate and staff.
• Christopher and Beth both helped out alot today!
• We are all safe and home for another night.
• Beth says she's happy because she gets to go to Jr. Girls camp on Monday.
• I have friends and relatives(who are also friends!) that read my blog.
