Crazy Saturday

Yesterday was a full day.  I was up bright and early making yummies for the pumpkin patch.  Early morning baking always brings back memories of when I worked in Albertson's Bakery when I was going to BSU. I had to be there at 4 am.  I didn't mind the job, but I did not like 4 am because I never went to bed at a decent hour.
I sent kids over to set up at the pumpkin patch while I finished up and cleaned up, the worst part, and got dressed for the day.  I finally got over there around noon. 
I then drove over to Murtaugh, about 30 minutes away, to Savanna's volleyball game.  It was the first of their district tournament.  They played Shoshone.  I took Livee and Jase.  Aleena opted to stay and help at the Pumpkin Patch.  She can be such a great helper when she chooses to be.  Hallie headed over with the cheerleaders. They won the game in 3 sets.  Savanna played well and smart. They even had Warren, he has been doing their summer camps for the last couple years and really coaching their coach Sherri on how to improve, came to the game.  He met each girl as they left the locker room and just told them good job and some words of wisdom.  I think that was special for the girls.  I have a hard time getting great footage of the game or Hallie cheering because I am the book keeper and have to pay attention or I get all messed up, but Hallie did do an awesome job cheering too. Kell and her kids drove over and watched Savanna play.  That gave Jase and Livee someone to hang with during the game. It was fun to have her there.
After the game, I hurried back to the pumpkin Patch to relieve Aleena.  It had rained on them but she had taken care of everything.  Robin, (owns the patch) said she was a very hard worker.  Robin was her back up and helped her out.  I gave them the left over cinnamon rolls and some caramels as a thank you for helping her.  Aleena went home to warm up and Livee and I cleaned things up for the night.  It was getting dark and there were some more rain clouds a brewing.

My kids are sick of cinnamon rolls, chili and pumpkin roll so I decided to actually cook them some tacos, or "tato's" as Hallie was referring to them
  She was in one of her silly goofy moods while we were fixing dinner.  She had Savanna and Livee just busting up.  I do love when I am in the kitchen and they are mingling, enjoying each other.  it sure makes cooking and dishes way more enjoyable.
I was sure glad to hit my pillow.  Brad is gone right now and has been all week and so Aleena and Livee usually find a spot on my bed on the weekends. A full day but yet another great one.
