the leavitts.

it has been such a nice week so far. i love it. and it doesn't look like the nice weather is stopping any time soon. yay. chet and i go on lots of walks during the day. and when matt comes home from school we can usually trick him into a family walk. we like walking up to the temple.

we spent another afternoon in the park yesterday. i thought that on sunday we had some good people watching. but yesterday we saw the greatest thing. i tried really hard to get close enough to take a good picture, but i was too nervous. you can just imagine though. there were 3 guys doing these medieval fighting games. they were decked out in costumes and had all sorts of weapons. it was very entertaining. you have to admire the fact that they aren't embarrassed to do something they love in public.

matt and i have been keeping track of every time we spend money this month. we are trying to be more responsible with our money now that our only income is my maternity leave pay. we have been meaning to make a budget plan for months now, but this month was the first time we have done something about it. we have a sheet that we write 'where', 'what', and 'how much'. it is funny how many times we fill in the 'what' section with words like treat, snack, or food. we haven't even recorded our spendings for a whole month yet, and we have already figured out where we spend too much money!
darn sweet tooth!

i am actually impressed with our healthy eating since we got our bountiful basket on saturday. i feel a little guilty though because we just can't eat our 'bounty' of fruits and veggies fast enough. it doesn't help that our fridge totally sucks. it is on the lowest setting and stuff at the back of the fridge still gets icy! brutal. we made some guacamole today to use up our avocados. unfortunately we were too late for 2 of them. i would like to warn anyone who thinks about cutting into an avacado that they think might be past ripe. DON'T DO IT. eeeewww.

i have often wondered what tank does while we aren't home. does he get into trouble? does he sleep? does he miss us? well, the other night we came home and tank was sitting in our window sill (like a kitty cat) waiting for us. so i guess that answers my question...he misses us! he is so fun to come home to. it doesn't matter if you have just gone to the mailbox, or you have left him all afternoon, he is soo thrilled when you walk in the door.

chet has been super drooly lately. sometimes i swear he is teething, but then i remember how much his dad drools when he is sleeping and then i figure this is just a case of 'like father, like son'!
