Seems crazy that it's 10:40 p.m. and I'm finally sitting down!! It has been nonstop all day for all the Gurneys. Here's a snapshot into our Thursday:
7:00 a.m. Rise and Shine
7:30 a.m. Breakfast
8:00 - 9:30 a.m. Get ready for day, Mickey Mouse, chasing Tucker away from the toilets, etc. , Matt off to work
9:45 - 12:00 p.m. Jen doing her magic at teaching piano, boys playing with Emma (one of our youth) in the nursery
12:30 - 3:15 Naptime (thank goodness for long ones today), Matt and Jen actually eating lunch together (1st date in awhile), Matt still working and heating up the tennis court with a friend, Jen searching the internet for recipes (shout out to Katie for You'veGotSupper.com!!), finishing grocery list, laundry, paying bills online, going through mail, making phone calls, and on and on and on
3:15 - 4:30 p.m. Snack time for boys, "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (not big on Noah watching full length movies, but I needed it today), chasing Tucker away from bothering Noah (haven't I done this already), laundry
4:30 - 5:40 p.m. Grocery Trip for the Gurneys (I'll have to say that it's becoming quite the art....2 carts, 2 boys, 2 parents, 2 lists (organized by aisles at Wal-Mart), and 1 very large bill!!!)
5:40 p.m. Unload groceries and atleast put cold stuff away
6:00 - 6:30 p.m. Pizza dinner at the church, Youth praise band practice for Matt until 9:30
6:30 - 7:00 p.m. Go pick up home grown veggies from a friend (this included crashing a Mary Kay party...had no idea!!)
7:15 - 7:40 p.m. Finish "Alvin and the Chipmunks" (again, so good for mommy), put rest of groceries away (were you worried about those), chase Tucker away from emptying all kitchen drawers and cabinets, etc. (he's going to be so smart when he grows up from all his curiosity as a child...that's what they say anyway)
7:40 - 8:00 p.m. Bathe boys (I'm sure I set a record for the time limit tonight..Noah was into the "fastest bath ever", too..you do what you have to, right??), PJ boys, read to boys, bed for boys!!!
8:15 p.m. - ? laundry, worked out for 45 minutes (go me!!), showered, cleaned kitchen, picked up toys, talked with Matt when the poor thing finally got home...............
Okay, so maybe this is everyday for you and probably for me, but it just seemed like I was doing good to catch my breath!!! WHEW!!!!!!
Can't wait for my weekend with mom, sister, and Beth Moore!!

Watch out Emeril and Rachael!!!
So you should all be wishing you were at the Gurneys last night. Not just because we're the best and you miss us so much, but because we had an amazing dinner last night! I just have to brag alittle. So maybe I got the recipes off foodnetwork.com but we had to cook them right...and they were delicious!! Don't worry if your mouth starts watering, it's normal...grilled eggplant, grilled corn on the cob, zucchini gratin and cornbread muffins. well, maybe it's not a big deal to you, but I was so excited to do some "out of the ordinary" for us!!!

Yea, I Know it's Strange...
So here's a couple of videos showing off our 2nd son's intelligence and both of our boys' favorite past time these days.
Noah and Tucker fell in love with my parents dogs while in MS for two weeks. So now they are on all fours constantly barking like dogs, wanting to play fetch, and asking us to say "NO!" when they come to lick!!! We draw the line when they want to eat and drink off the floor!!!!! I hope we're not heading them toward counseling when they get older...they do have a blast pretending!!
