Our Week with Anna

Anna's job this week was a simple one :)
1. wake up at the crack of dawn.
2. drive me to work
3. get the girls dressed and fed
4. Keep the girls busy all morning
5. feed the girls lunch
6. get Madi to preschool
7. give Payton a nap
8. wake Payton from her nap
9. get Madi from school
10. get me from school

Easy right?! After school we were busy everyday. Here is what we did...


Monday:
We ate at Chile's because it is one of Anna's favorite restaurants and they closed them all down in Portland.
We went to the Ethel M. Factory and ate our free piece of chocolate and then walked out to the cactus gardens.
We got to experience nature in the city. This lizard was hiding from us.
This rabbit started to jump away after the girls started yelling at it.

Tuesday:
On Tuesday and Friday morning the girls spent the morning swimming with Anna. All the while Greg was sitting in a training and I was at school :(
Greg and I had a dental visit we both had to go to. So, Anna brought the girls to the Galleria Mall to play in the kids zone.

Wednesday:
We had to run lots of errands on Wednesday. Nothing fun about grocery shopping, paying late fees for UNLV's grad packet and making dinner.

Thursday:
Thursday was the girls gym class. After dinner Greg watched the girls while Anna and I went to Nordstrom's Rack. It was fun being able to shop without worrying about the girls.

Friday:
Friday we had planned on going mini golfing or to the movie in the park, but neither happened. We ended up buying the girls costumes, eating pizza, eating cold stone ice cream and we watched Made of Honor. (cute movie, but lots of cussing and innuendos).

We had fun with Anna. Anna got a good taste of life with kids. We are always running around trying to get things done. We are truly grateful for Anna's willingness to come and help us out for the week. We hope she can recover quickly from her time here :)
