craiggers took me on a hot date last night.
how awesome it is to get a break from being mom and dad and just be US!!
we sat at a quiet outdoor table.
we finally relaxed about halfway through dinner.
we were really free spirited and wiiiiiiiild......we went to eddie bauer.
then we went to see the movie SUPER 8.
You can watch the trailer here. and watch 6 minutes of the movie of there too if you like that kind of thing!
i resisted going to see it because i don't like "alien" movies.
but i am telling you now.....THIS MOVIE WAS GOOD!!!
it was like ET and Goonies and Signs all mixed together.
REALLY good.
i was freaked out and squeezing craig's hand so hard.
and at one point i jumped so big i hurt a muscle in my leg....not kidding.
i will say the boys in the movie had a little bit harsh language for their age....in my opinion.
one of my least favorite things to see in a movie....swearing kids.
but you are a grown up and you can handle it right?
go see it.
but i don't know if you should be as crazy as us and try BOTH eddie bauer and super 8 in one night.
not everyone can handle that kind of HEAT.
ha ha ha.

this is my FAVORITE dress of annie's.
i love love love it.
it's from target last year.
i wish it was in my size.
if you have any idea WHERE to buy that fabric please share.
i know it's by Liberty of London and i doubt it's available....but if it is.....tell me where.
it is just the best thing ever.
********holy cows it's $28 a yard**************yikes.
thanks for looking for me girls.
i knew you'd find it for me.
it makes me want to draw and paint.
i am going to make it into a craft thursday project.
faker.
:)
we see this face A LOT but this time it was fake.

sean and talby got home from camp.
they had a GREAT time.
thank goodness.
seriously.
i was so happy to see their faces!
sean took a huge box (like that you buy for a concession stand) of airheads candy to camp.
i told him if he found any rainbow ones in the box to save one because i really wanted to see them sometime!
he got home from camp and opened his suitcase and handed me this. (it's a BIG package)
i got excited and said "WOW!!! this was in that box???" he said "no....i got it at the snack bar"
and i smiled and handed it back to him.
he said "mom...i got that for you."
"for me? you spent your money at the snack bar on that for ME??"
"Well yeah mom...i knew you wanted them"
and then i wiped the tears from my eyes.
it's so silly but i felt loved and validated and heard and proud all in that one sentence.
................................................
this time it was scott who left for camp.
i feel completely different about that.
no worries at all.
he will have a BLAST.
................................................
my talk about wanting more babies in the previous post may have made mr. duerksen look bad.
it sounded like he made the decision alone to not have more kids and didn't ask me what i thought.
he didn't.
at the time i agreed....i signed the forms....i went to the doctor with him.
i had a newborn in my arms and had just moved from IL to KS and was exhausted in every way.
and now that i am not dead tired....i wish we had discussed it at a time when my mind was clearer.
aka....more sleep.
does that make sense?
sooooo.....bottom line....i changed my mind and he hasn't.
i am the "problem".
not him.
God is big enough to deal with any issues i have i my head and heart the way that HE wants to.
i am ok with whatever God wants for my family.
and i know God would not want me bashing my husband all over the internets. (and the googles)
so i felt i needed to make it clear.
should i just shut up already?
ok.
