-Got up at 6:30 am- Fed Gracie and put her back to bed with us. She got up early for some reason. I guess she was hungry :).
-Got back up @ 7:30 and went downstairs to clean up the kitchen and pick things up.
-Did the laundry.
-Sewed some eggs and chicks for a humanitarian service project.
-Gracie got up at 11:00 am and we walked around the house for a while.
-11:30- hitched up the bike trailer on my bike and loaded it up with the things I needed for our errands.
-Rode over to the post office. Hid my bike in the back. Bought stamps and mailed Mandy's bridal shower invitations.
-Rode the opposite direction to drop off the chicks that I sewed at a lady in my ward's house.
-Then we headed over the 215 highway overpass to Costco to do some returns. Locked up the bike and trailer. Returned the stuff and scoured the place for all the free tasters. (Both Gracie and my favorite part). Ran into my friend Kara and her family- ironic because we are always both sharing our finds at costco.
-Then starving because I haven't eaten anything yet for the day, we stopped at Jamba Juice. Got a smoothie and cooled off for a little while.
-When we were refreshed, we went across the street to Bed Bath & Beyond. Locked my bike up again and got money back for the purchase I made last time but without a coupon. (Did you know they take expired coupons? Cool!)
-Rode over next door to Walmart- locked up the bike again and entered the beloved and hated Sprawlmart to once again exchange some planting pots that wouldn't work without having the clay pot inside. Dang. I always have at least one return to do somewhere. (Don't get Luke started on it.)
-We raided the clearance isle where they were having 50% off the lowest price and we got some really sweet deals. My favorite thing is bargain shopping!!! After spending way too long in Walmart, I decided to hurry and try my luck at finding some good shoes for Gracie's walking in the shoe dept. And "Oh Man!" , I have to take a picture of these coolest Diva shoes we found. The only one in all of them that fit her and it was the last one left. Wahoo! And they have a sole! Picture to follow soon...
-Okay so by this time Gracie has a really stinky bum but of course I don't have a diaper. And Gracie is really cranky because she would normally have had a nap by now. I still don't get how she can be cranky with new shoes? Ha ha :). So we went outside and had to do some killer awesome packing of the bike trailer to fit Gracie and all of our goods. We did though. It was full to the brim including two heavy clay pots.
-My load was HEAVY and it was HOT! I was sweating bad. But Gracie was falling asleep and stinky and we needed to get home so we sprinted back home. Stopping 2X to get her binky back for her since she really was cranky and tired. I don't blame her.
-Got home @ 3:30.
-Fed her again and rushed her up to bed and she fell right to sleep.
-Put away the GOODS and then met the guys from Craigslist who were buying our couches outside. Yes we got a sweet deal on some new couches so we sold our other ones. We are addicted to Craigslisting!! (Luke more than me.)
-Then put together Sarah's package for winning the "Name that Photo Contest." Will mail it tomorrow.
-Luke came home late because he is in the process of negotiating on a CAR for ME! That's right. I am getting a car. And we have a deadline that we have to have one because I will be up in UT for a little while and will need a car. It is so expensive to rent a car if you are under 25. Boring!
-Then we woke Gracie up and went over to some friends for dinner which was so GOOD to begin with but twice as good because I hadn't eaten anything all day and 3X as good because I didn't have to make it. It was the best roast beef sandwich I have ever had!
-And finally we came back home.
-I played with Gracie and she was walking back and forth a little ways between the couch and me without hands. Wahoo! She is still not crawling but she is "BUM SCOOTING!!" She is much happier.
-I fed her and then Luke put her to bed @ 8:30pm. Then I got on here and started typing this to record my crazy awesome day while Luke set up his new surround sound system that he got as a steal on... yep, you guessed it... CRAIGSLIST!
-Now I am going to finish watching the end of Swingkids and hit the sack. HARD! Ooooh- Luke is making some popcorn. Gotta go! What a crazy fun, hot sweaty wonderful day...
MORAL OF THE STORY: fun but not everyday. I need a car!! And Gracie needs more sleep than she got today!!

You're nuts! You need to eat more. You're going to pass out if you go like that and don't eat. Other than that it sounds like lots of fun.I really need to sit down and do our blog.
I remember loving those days when Olivia was Gracie's age and I would take her shopping all day and she wouldn't complain too much! Ahhh... those were the days. Now I can hardly take her shopping at all!
I can't believe you are riding your bike around in this heat! Wow, think of all the calories you are burning (not like you need it, though)! Can't wait to see Gracie's diva shoes.
