Rangers vs. Toronto

A couple of Sundays ago a friend of mine gave me some tickets to the Rangers vs. Toronto game.  Jim, Ryan, Brad, our friend Jarrod, and I all went to the game.  This is the first time in a couple of years that we have done anything as a group with Ryan's dad.  We all had a blast.  The Rangers won that game also.  Here are some pictures from that night.  We are also going this Saturday night as well.

Ryan was thouroughly enjoying that peanut he was eating.

He looks like he is savoring the flavor.  Chef Ryan???

Jury Duty

I know jury duty is important and that we are supposed to take it seriously.  What are you supposed to do when the judge presiding is telling you how to get out of it?  I know there are exemptions I could claim, but I wanted to do the right thing.  When it was my turn the judge told me that since I have a child at home, as long as I have children at home under the age of 10 to always claim the childcare exemption.  I know there are some people who can't get childcare during that time.  I'm not one of those.  Most of the time my parents can watch him.  Unfortunately this morning my mom wasn't feeling well so I took Ryan with.  He was wonderful the whole time.  He was so quiet that the judge didn't realize he was there until we walked out.  He made a comment as to how good Ryan was.  I just don't understand how we are supposed to take our civic duty seriously when the Judge tells you how to get out of it for as long as possible.  This doesn't make sense to me.

Laundry, and more Laundry

Yesterday and today is all about laundry and catching up on the housework.  I'm playing catch up because Wednesday I had 2 more boys at the house.  Ryan loves playing with his friends Garrett and Nick.  We had tons of fun when they came over.  They erected a tent in Ryan's room and used that as a hideout, then we went to the pool for a bit.  Here are some pictures from Wednesday.

Garret, Nick, Ryan.  All silly, all the time.

They are truly best friends for life.

Just like their mothers.

Mary Kay Mommy Shower

Today I did something new.  My Aunt called me on Wednesday and asked if I could do a baby shower with my Mary Kay.  I called up my unit and my director to ask.  I'd never heard of anything like that.  Together we came up with a Mommy Shower.  It's like a Baby Shower except I put a gift basket together and I do my normal skin care class with extra attention on the new mom.  As we are finished, all the guests can purchase the gifts for the new mom.  The new mom then takes home the gift basket full of all the goodies that her friends purchased for her.  It was a hit.  Not only did our new mom take home her gifts, but the other guests also purchased items for themselves as well.  All the guests that purchased gifts for the mom got 10% off their personal order.  I immediately emailed my entire unit with the news.  We are going to work on different gift options for the new moms.  I can't wait to book my next Mary Kay Mommy Shower!!!!!!!!

We're done.....Sortof

So we turned in the keys late last night and this morning I walked the apartment with the lady in the office.  Now we have to unpack and put things away.  What fun....

Moving Day!!!

So we are moving downstairs now.  We are doing this so that my mom can come to visit us.  I'm so glad that she can come over now, but I really hate this moving thing.  On the plus side we now have our W/D here.  No more lugging laundry downstairs, into the hot car, over to Mom's and back again.  We should be done tomorrow.  I'm so thankful for our friends that have been helping us.  More later.

Seminar

I'm learning a lot already. God has put a lot on my heart this week. I know when I get home I have a lot to work on both personally and with my business. I've pledged to start DIQ in November. Please pray that I stay the course. I've issued a challenge to myself to see how many times I can be told no. I need to learn that every 'no' is not a failure because for every yes I get I had to be told no several times first. More later.
