A Couple of Week Highlights

We had a cricket in our hallway wall, right by our bedroom.
It chirped endlessly every night for over a week.
I was ready to get a shotgun and start shootin down some walls.
But I read that they love molasses so we got some in a bowl with water and put it up in the attic.
I didn't hear anything last night...maybe we got him?!

We went to Disneyland to meet up with Carly!
Except...our passes weren't good that day. duh.
Pretty much our passes are only good on days that nobody else wants to go:)
Really, that's the best time to go so it's not swarming with people, but it's just on school days.
We still had fun (especially Cody) building and watching cars race at the Lego store
and eating ice cream in downtown disney!
So good to see Carly!
...who is not in these pictures. sigh.

Eyeball is funny around our house because Mackayla used to say it so much. When she asked for her "eyeball" chair I knew I had to take a picture, in honor of our favorite word.
Went to a beautiful park with friends, drove around in an electric car a bit, putted on the little kid putting green and played at the playground. Fun day.
Having a phone in my pocket makes me take pictures of things I normally wouldn't.
But this is fun...Macey made me a grocery list of some things she wanted me to buy at the grocery store
including, but not limited to, GrapeNuts (her favorite cereal) and swiss cheese, her favorite cheese.
And the other pictures are from the babysitter.
We found the best babysitter in the world!
She cleaned our house -none of our other babysitters have ever done that before! It needed it since I was at the women's broadcast (loved it!) and brought her straight home with me (yikes).
She played with the kids a ton and brought activities and then made them a treasure hunt for the next morning!
They wanted to go to bed early so they could get the prize sooner:)

For our date, Ben and I went to a tiny little cafe
but I am telling you
Buy a plane ticket to San Clemente right now
and go eat there.
The Rider's Club Cafe
In a tiny converted house with like 8 tiny tables
The best part: they grind their own beef, make their own buns, make their own pickles, make their own chips and everything else is garden fresh!
After that we went to Target:)
Then we went hot tubbing.

Dating is fun.

Hooray for babysitters! And downtown disney of course. Tyler just got his first pair of steel-toe boots- which apparently are just cowboy boots with steel toes- needless to say- he looks a mighty-lot like Ben! Haha!
