The Numbers

This week I thought it would be fun to post by the numbers, so here goes.
Our week included:
Libby having 4 days of school.
Sarah had 2 days of school.
Mom had 10 personal training appointments.
Mom taught 5 classes.
Mom attended 1 yoga class and got 1 massage.
Ben went potty about 30 times!
Derek worked 1 Mariners game & 2 Folklife shifts
Derek had 1 day of shotgun qualifications.
He worked 4 regular shifts.
Mom gave 1 talk in sacrament meeting.
Mom had 1 YW class presidency meeting & 1 adult presidency meeting.
We hosted our last Rhinos board meeting (at least until Ben is old enough to wrestle).
We attended 3 dance classes (one for each girl including me)
We had our 2nd home appraisal in as many weeks (the first one the woman couldn't write the report because apparently I was "pressuring" her....another story)
When the appraisal came through we saw that the $30,000 we have spent on our house is worth $50,000 in equity!
We ate 0 restaurant meals (it is an EAT AT HOME month).
We had 1 home teacher visit (with his son).  Our first home teachers in our new house, and they are moving.
Derek had 1 unexpected cavity filled.
Paige had 1 unexpected cavity filled.
Derek spent $1000 to fix some issues with his truck.
Paige got hit by 1 uninsured driver while she was parked at Fred Meyer.  He did leave a note.  He was shocked to hear the $3000+ total for the repairs.
We went on 1 trip to the outlets in Marysville.
Paige got 2 awesome pairs of shoes for her mission.
Paige and Mom bought the same skirt at the Eddie Bauer outlet.
Libby rejected 1 awesome pair of shoes I wanted to buy her.
Paige worked a double shift.
Mom got 4 stars on a Just Dance song (it was an EASY song--I admit it).
During swimming lessons, Mom and Ben played in lane 4.  Mom dove down and picked up Hulk and Iron Man at least 100 times.
Our gardener has worked 17 hours to help clean up the weeds and stuff in our yard (still more to go).  She found 1 plastic chicken missing its legs and 1 aged Easter Egg.
Ben spent at least an hour chatting her up while she worked.
We went to 1 awesome construction birthday party--Happy Birthday Jed!
Mom has finished 21 chapters of study toward her personal training cert.  Only 1 3/4 chapters of reading left.  (Then hours of review of course).

Mom went on 2 runs with Aunt Maren.

The kids spent all of Paige's quarters


Ben picked out 1 pair of shoes for "Jamesy Wamesy" as he called him.  

Ben got 1 awesome new pair of PJs!  I got trapped in about 1000 spiderwebs this guys was slinging at me.
