A Day in the Life of the Mad Haderlies

I just decided, after the past couple of *fun* days that I've had (where I've actually taken pictures), I'd post about one of my summer days. I LOVE SUMMER. The sunshine really brings light into my soul, and so I get happy and do happy things like take pictures. :)

Ok and secretly this isn't all ONE day, it really is a couple o'days rolled into one. But it COULD be all one day.

So first, Scottie and I wake up late and make breakfast...

This one's mine. :)

Then Scottie and I decide we need to get the car taken care of (FINALLY). We get the tires rotated and balanced, get the brakes checked, and have the oil changed (the chips in the windshield just have to wait...*sigh*).

Scott was being a good, quiet little boy, playing with the toys...

and then started making faces at me. :P

We took a break from the toys and started watching this John Wayne/Dean Martin movie (yes, he DID sing, which is why I was okay watching it, since Westerns aren't my favorite). I saw a couple magazines on the chair next to me, and that's when I made this horrible discovery:





Unfortunately, I was too lazy to read the whole article, but I did gether that there we're a mixture of things: 5% Neanderthal (sp??), 3% some other strange thing that I can't remember, and x% of other stuff. I have no idea, but I decided I liked the magazine. It was kinda like the time in Primary when my teacher told me my mom and dad weren't really my mom and dad, they're my brother and sister (you know, in the larger scheme of things), that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Mother are my real parents, and I just cried and cried. Yeah, it was kinda the same feeling.

So after that Scottie goes to his appointment for the day and leaves me to decorate the room. Yesssssssssss!! I didn't really do anything with it because I'd been planning on painting it this summer, and what was the point of hanging a bunch of stuff up just to take it down? But since it doesn't look like I get to paint any time soon, I decided to go "college room" on the master bedroom. I took out my box of decorations from my single days and do a bit to spice up the room, though it's by no means fantastic or finished. But now there's SOMETHING on the walls--it's not the bare, icky cream color it was before.

Then Scott comes home and works on the garage. Yay--it's clean now! I was like...I didn't know the garage went back that far! It's so nice to have more room to park. :)

huh...I should probably mention that I just realized these are all BEFORE pictures, and that I didn't take any AFTER pictures. Bummer. Maybe next time...
 

Then we hang out with Tee and Emma and make delicious homemade ice cream (thanks to Emma's class having leftovers). :D

ice cream!

I brought cookie dough to snack on, because I usually want to buy ice cream. But instead of buying, we MADE! And when we added the cookie dough to it, it was pretty dang delish.

 

We finish up the night using Scott's awesome telescope that I got him for his birthday! Yes, I did copy Emily, but it was such a fabulous idea...the moon looked sooooOOOOOooooo cool! ...but the stars just looked like bigger bright dots, lol. But it was still cool!

And then we go to bed. Sometime Scott reads to me, which I thoroughly enjoy. We're currently on the second Percy Jackson novel, thanks to the fabulous suggestion of Heidi. I love those books! But I love that Scott reads to me because that's what I fall asleep to.

That, ladies and gentlemen, is the end.

I enjoy my life.
