Taunting ground squirrels

Not a very exciting evening, which is ok. As I was leaving the parking lot of school Jeff called and said that I needed to not go home because there was a showing on our house. My first thought was the messy house I left. Luckily Jeff had time to go home and spruce it up. Grandma had picked up Haley from school so they spent the afternoon together. I met them all at the church to wait out the showing. The girls and I went to DQ and got a box of dilly bars for all of us to munch on there.

Around 5 we all went home and I threw some burritoes in the oven, that my mom had brought with her. The standing joke in my family is that when I invite my family over to eat I have to call them up and say, "Hey, we're having chili, but I forgot the beans for it, can you get some at the store on the way over, also pick up the crackers too, oh and the cornbread to go with it!" (Hey, I did that one time when I was hugely pregnant, sick, and tired- and I will never live it down!) I promise, this time I was going to make lasagna and put it into the crockpot but mom offered to bring burritos! Ok, I will admit that I forgot the buy the cottage cheese to put in it so I was going to have to either: change my menu, run to the store the night before, or pray that my mom offered to bring something with her! My prayers were answered. I didn't even tell you that mom! :) Anyway... Grandma had to eat quickly and then had to leave for a meeting at her church. As she was leaving grandpa came and ate with us. Mikayla just thought it was so funny that as we were saying goodbye to Grandma, we were saying hello to Grandpa. After supper Jeff and grandpa went outside and tried to get rid of the ground squirrels that are making a mess in our yard. They tried scaring them off with a b.b. gun, and putting water down their holes. I am sure they will be back. They just taunt Jeff when he is on the lawn mower. Kind of like, "You can't catch me!" Jeff says they even put their paws in their ears and wiggle their "thumbs" back and forth, kind of like, "Na Na Na Na Boo Boo!" You know that thing kids do to taunt? That's what they do to him. Grandpa left soon after and we went into the homework procedures.

p.s.- When I got home this evening and I was throwing laundry into the washer, I noticed my bra hanging up in the laundry room to dry. Well, that's not that bad of a thing normally! But when you have a realtor and a family traipsing around your house, laundry room, included, it really isn't a good thing! I was embarrassed, but Jenna was horrified for me!

p.s.s. - Well, ya know my History Curriculum Guide that I spent HOURS doing this weekend, I found out today from my principle that some of it was inserted into the template incorrectly, in the wrong order, so now I will have to spend another couple hours fixing it! Argh!
