Busy Week

This past week was VERY busy for me. Usually a big week for me is having a doctor appointment and going grocery shopping, but this week was much different. I feel the need to give a play by play so here is goes. Oh, can you tell I was busy because when my 11 month old Brynn grabbed and ate Addy's sucker, instead of taking it away, I let her eat it AND I thought it was cute!
Monday: My new calling is enrichment leader. Monday morning I had to meet with the committee to put together some things for our enrichment the next evening. It's always fun trying to do things like this with kids around(insert sarcasm). I ran lots of errands that afternoon and that evening I learned I love our neighborhood even more! We had our annual street BBQ on Monday and it was fun getting to know the families on our street a little better. So many great people.
Tuesday: Tuesday was all about enrichment from morning to night planning and baking and preparing. I think it went really well :)
Wednesday: An impromptu play date with Addy's cousins. (Addy was in heaven).
Thursday: I had to put together running packets for the 5K I volunteered for on Saturday. Then we had an exciting lunch at Del Taco (Addy's request because it has a fun playground). We invited Grandma along which always makes things better. That evening we went shopping at Walmart as a family. We rarely go to Walmart with Todd along so it always seems like a big deal when we do! Then we rented Madagascar 2 from the Redbox and we let Addy stay up until 11pm so she could finish it. We are REALLY nice parents! Oh, and I cleaned while Addy watched the movie. The life she leads!
Friday: I was scheduled for my morning in my babysitting co-op but no one showed up so I just cleaned some more. We had a picnic in the park at noon that day so I could meet all the ladies in my co-op because some are from other parts of the neighborhood and I haven't met them all yet. That evening we attended a Silent Service Auction put on by the youth in our ward. We won two nights of babysitting! YAY! They had lots of games and activities for the kids. Addy became obsessed with the Face Painting booth. I seriously think she went back 12 times. Her face, hands and arms were covered by the time we got home. Amy and Milo stopped by that evening and we had a fun time just hanging out and talking. Saturday: I woke up at 5am to volunteer for our local 5K. It was nice to give get involved with our community and since I had run quite a few races I felt it was time to give back a little so others can enjoy a race! Saturday night we just we went out and about. Fun family time.

Sunday: We had Todd's brother Dustin and his family over for Sunday dinner. Our new favorite thing to grill is Kabobs. I found this great marinade online and so it has quickly become a favorite. We really enjoyed spending time with the other Bassetts. Family truly is the greatest thing.

Brynn has become the cutest thing! She even took her first steps Monday at the BBQ! I can't believe she is getting so big. She loves to give kisses and has started to adore her daddy. She crawls to the door as fast as she can whenever he comes home. Here is a little video of her dancing! She just melts our hearts!
