well

svend's parents came to town for the 4th of july. I reeeeeaaallly wish my mother-in-law was not emotional/hormonal/or whatever she is. seriously.  anyway...

things were good. we did the carnival and festival. watched fireworks everynight. Went to bed late and woke up late. The kids were tired every day/night... we ate out a lot and I was actually pretty good about sticking to my low-carb stuff :)  anyway, saturday the hormonal lady showed up. whatever.  Saturday night they took back svend's old phone and I told him we needed to erase EVERYTHING because I didn't trust them... svend thought they were mature enough to just reset the phone...

so their grand plan has been to buy a house in boise for us to live in WITH them because that's where he's getting a job. whatever.  So at 11pm he starts getting some texts. Their original plans were to leave monday morning.

-good luck in whatever job you get
-we are leaving early tomorrow morning (sunday)
-SVEND I need to talk to you now! (1am!!!)
-can't get a flight out we're still around
-can we help with the kids before church?

So, they came over and made up some crap story about how the fire alarm went off in their hotel so they were up so early and they had to get out of their hotel (they had canceled their hotel before securing a flight)...

we figure, they read either his text messages or e-mails.  mature. They can't say anything to us because then they would have to admit they snooped into our PRIVATE stuff. I've caught her reading his text messages before btw. He does not let her see ANY of his electrical devices anymore.

Church they sat on one end of the pew and we were on the other. For whatever reason, ALL the kids swarmed me.  They weren't happy. Then, Svend and I have 2nd hour callings so they stayed for sunday school. RS I went back and sat by her. I chatted with some friends and she jumped up and left and never came back.  She then told us how our ward is the most unfriendly ward they have EVER been to and how horrible it was.  She was talking about me. I told Svend that.  But honestly, HOW can you have a conversation with someone who is giving you the freaking silent treatment?!

After church she asked if we REALLY needed the cooler and chairs they had purchased to use while here.  This lady would rather dump these things on the side of the road then give them to her son who is working his butt off and might just get a job somewhere they don't approve of.  She does this EVERY time. It always makes me laugh...it's a FREAKING cooler!  haha. Jex said "we can't lug that on the airplane." So she finally just said "well, fine, you guys can keep it."

tally is worried that they will never come visit us.  Bergen asked, as SOON as we left them SUnday night "NOW can we talk about moving to Texas?!?!?!" haha.  I guess my in-laws were also bugging the kids about it all weekend long. Smooth people!

What's sad is on Sunday they took the kids with them to go find a new hotel and the first thoughts in BOTH svend and my mind were :
#1 they are going to take the kids away...like tell them it's a vacation that is a surprise and TAKE Them
#2 tell them what horrible parents we are and how they will NEVER get to see their grandparents if we take them to Texas.

Sad isn't it? That those were the first thoughts...needless to say, I was SO grateful when they returned home!!!!!
