Busy Week

I packed a lot of things into the past 8 days so here goes...
Last Saturday Jon got outside and made a big stand that fits on top of our entertainment center and holds all of our snow villages. Then he brought it in and set the whole thing up. It looks fabulous! Then Kevin, Laura, and the boys came over for dinner. I didn't get any pictures of the kids playing together but they were cute. I tried a new twist to a cake recipe and Landon made my night by taking a bite and exclaiming, "Erin, this absolutely could never be a bad cake!"
Then on Sunday I brought my high school girls small group to our house. My kiddos loved them and the candy they brought with them!
Tuesday I went to the dermatologist again and he feels pretty confident now that he doesn't need to test for lupus and that I just have severe rosacia and dermatitis or something like that. Everything he has given me is making a huge difference with my face and I don't feel like I am sunburned all of the time. After the dr. I met Sarah and Brooks at Hobby Lobby and we went shopping for Laura's shower.
Wednesday night I went to Laura's to make more bows. We didn't get any made, but we did get several strands of korker ribbon made. Then on the way home from her house I was pulled over not once, but twice because Jon's tail light was out. He got that fixed on Thursday morning :).
Thursday night we had small group at the Woods house so we got all of their ski equipment to borrow for our trip. Yeah!! They are saving us tons! Thank You!
Friday morning I packed the kids up and met Heather, Karen, Matt, and Trish at the zoo with their kiddos. It was packed with kids on field trips and I realized I was out numbered with my two children. They both wanted out of the wagon but Alex just ran off and David didn't want to move from exhibit to exhibit, so we had several meltdowns! Karen tried to help but that made Jack really upset. So I learned that I still can't go anywhere by myself with the kids! Friday night all of the hostesses for Laura's shower met at my house and we made all of the food and decorations. It was so much fun!
Saturday morning Jon and I packed up the kids and went to Weatherford for a family reunion for my Grandmother's side of the family. I didn't really know anyone other than my immediate relatives but it was fun. There was a great playground there and the kids had a blast running around and especially sliding. Alex has NO fear! She climbed to the top of the big twisty slide by herself and then didn't even hesitate to slide down. It took David 10 minutes of climbing up and down the stairs to get up the courage to actually slide down.
Today was the shower and it was so pretty! Laura looked great and she got a lot of really cute things. Kallie and Kaitlyn will be the best dressed little girls around!
That pretty much sums up my week so I will post the visual aides. Blessings!

So sad I didn't get to be there. Did it go well?
