Progress Report

O.K. so here are the things we actually accomplished this week. (Unfortunately so did the rest of the state of New York who was also on Spring break)

1. We did make it to the mall in Syracuse. I bit the bullet and drove up there and we had a good time. Reese was happy because they have a build-a-bear shop in that mall. It is the closest one. Ryan would not let go of his horse and so we rode the carousel a couple of times until I could bribe him with ice cream to get off.

2. We didn't make it to the germ infested Discovery Center that is pretty lame any way. We did however make it to the zoo in Syracuse. It is a ton better than the one here. We went early one morning and went to the zoo, then the mall for lunch and the carousel. The kids had a good time and I learned that Ryan likes to sit in his stroller. He actually had a fit when it was time to get out and go eat. Who would have ever figured, the boy likes to do something better than eat!!

3. We didn't go to the park but we did go on a nice walk. We walked down to the ice cream shop that has been closed all winter and opened up again lately and ate ice cream. YUMMY!!

4. Check. Not only did we go to breakfast but we had a slumber party. We put Ryan to bed and got all of our pillows and blankets and went down to the playroom and ate popcorn and cookies and stayed up late watching t.v.

5. Did it. We went to get the oil changed and I needed to get the tires rotated as well. They said that will take an hour and 1/2. It is a good thing it is across the street from Target. We can always seem to waste time (and money) there.

6. We tried to play with Caleb this week but every time we went to play they were busy. They are really active in their church so they are always rushing off to one service or meeting of some kind.

7. Done. Now I just have to remember to take the books back later this week.

8. Went to the Binghamton zoo and the Syracuse zoo. See #2.

9. I made a deal with Golden to go to Rochester on our next ward temple trip. We will eat at the Cheesecake Factory then (Sometime in May)

10. We cleaned out Reese's closet but not Ryan's. Reese told me that she needs more clothes to fill up her drawers now that we took out all the bulky stuff. Her drawers have been bulging all winter with sweaters, sweat shirts and long sleeved shirts. Now it seems so empty!

It has been a really busy week!! I can't wait for school to start again!!
