Mike normally has Mondays off (yay!) and we normally have a bunch of errands to run, but try to work in some fun stuff, too. Here's a summary of our Monday:
5 Things We Did
1) Did some more apartment hunting (Think we found a winner... and it is in a totally un-approved area, Katie, but I summarize it like this: not ghetto enough where you have to worry about drive-bys, but ghetto enough to make it exciting.)
2) Watched Underdog after our FHE lesson (for Adam, for Adam.... because the only thing I truly hate in this world is movies with talking animals... but for him, I watched it.)
3) Drove down the strip
4) Saw/fed some "seagulls" (though I explained to Adam that seagulls only live by the SEA, he insisted)
5) Drove around the temple, and looked at the beautiful grounds. (I pointed out the Angel Moroni on top, and Adam admitted he was disappointed that he wasn't playing something "more awesome" like the drums. He's hard to impress)
4 Things We Ate Today
1) Peanut butter on toast
2) Chicken nuggets
3) Mike's homemade Chinese stir-fry (Yum!)
4) Cinnamon rolls for FHE dessert from the "day old" rack (not so good). (Mike really wanted me to make this lemon cake from the new Kraft food & family magazine, but the cinnamon rolls were cheaper... I'll wait until the ingredients go on sale, I think)
3 Games We Played
1) Monopoly Jr.
2) Dora Memory
3) Feed the Kitty
2 Things We Were Supposed to Do and Didn't
1) Mike needs to change the brakes on the Focus. (He has had the brakes for a while, just needs to do it... this weekend, for sure)
2) Sign Adam up for basketball (We are waiting to see when we are moving, and if we should just wait until after the move).
1 Really Weird Thing We Saw
1) 6 billboards for hernia surgery. (I have never seen this in Phoenix or Flagstaff. Do people get an abnormal amount of hernias in Las Vegas?)
Mike gets Saturday, Sunday, AND Monday off THIS weekend (for Martin Luther King, Jr. day). One of our family resolutions was to have one family outing a month... just something a little extra special. We are going to do it this weekend. We each gave our opinion about what to do: a hike and picnic (me), the zoo (Adam), "baby" (Grace), and bowling (Mike). I also just read about a Leonardo de Vinci festival going on, that's supposed to be really fun, and kids are free, so that's an option, too. Should be fun!

FYI for bowling. On Thursday night they have like 50cent shoes and 50cent games at the casino off the 95 and ann road i think it is sante fe station. You might want to double check on that. As far as the zoo. Good luck.
What a great day you had! Mike must like to go back to work just so he can rest from family fun! :)I don't know about that apartment, though. Maybe for Grammy's sake, you just need to share what the inside looks like!! You know, though, no where is really totally safe...remember Jerry!
