Tuesday McKenna had a braces appointment where she got two new brackets. Her mouth hurt quite a bit for a few days.
I took the kids to the last $1 movie, "Sing!" McKenna played with her school friend Savannah in the afternoon. I also took Anna to her Upstart testing. I also had my book club that night for the book "Orphan Train."
Wednesday we woke up to news that Sarah Jane was in the hospital ready to deliver her new baby girl! Welcome to the world little Hazel!!
I packed a lunch then headed up to Mantua for our last friends' swim day! McKameys, Cardalls, Kylee Behunin, and the Lewises all came. The weather actually got a little overcast and cold. We also had an unfortunate incident with Anna in the pool. She decided to get back in with OUT floaties and I didn't notice. :( I was sitting poolside and talking to one of the other moms, and all of the sudden I heard Anna crying mixed with gurgling. She can touch in the shallow end but had wandered too far and started slipping into the deep end. She somehow managed to get back into the shallow end and was near the side of the pool so she was pulling herself up. I pulled her out, tipped her upside down and patted her back to try to get any water out. She kept crying, which was a good sign (lungs functioning) and I cried a lot too! All she kept saying was that she needed floaties. GOSH THAT WAS SCARY! We cleaned up and were home by 5:40. Dan had made rice-a-roni for us then headed to a Bishop meeting. The kids had bath and went to bed fine and I cried a lot that night telling Dan what happened with Anna.
Thursday the kids had sewing with Grandma. They made these cute towels with gingham sewn on the ends to decoration. Great practice sewing straight lines.

We packed a lunch and had a picnic at Five Points Park with Lewises till 2.
That evening I took McKenna and Ben to their back to school night to meet their teachers (even though they both know them already). Dan enjoyed the time alone with the two little girls.
Ben had a sick tummy when we got home, but nothing ever came of it, thankfully. I worked on my UEN class that night.

Friday all three girls got back to school haircuts!
Better "after" picture after shower and blow dry.

Love this Anna tummy and that she doesn't ever care or notice when it's hanging out!
That night we had some friends over for dinner. Scott and Kylee Nelson & Tim and Emily Hayford. We had sloppy joes, corn, and fruit. It was fun to get to know them better.
Saturday McKenna had primary choir practice, Dan mowed the lawn, then Mickelle babysat while we attended a ward temple session (and we got to be the witness couple). Dan and I had a lunch date afterwards to Plates and Pallets. We also decided on a whim to use more of our tax return and buy and new/bigger TV for our family room (from Costco). Since rearranging our furniture, the smaller TV really was kind of difficult to see from farther away (first world problems, right?). We also moved some dressers around in the basement and spent the afternoon organizing. That night we did our usual grocery pick up and eat out at Wendy's as a family. Then we finally made it over to Winegar's to visit new baby Hazel!!
Loved seeing all our kids swoon over her.
We gave Ben a haircut at home that night. After kids were in bed, Brynn and Brian came over to get the giant TV that was in our basement. We then moved our little one down there. I also worked on my UEN class.
Sunday we were a little later for church and had to sit in the gym due to Max Bramall's mission homecoming and Sadie Gunnerson's farewell. I sang a little primary song in SS for Rachael's lesson. I took this picture after church just because they all matched and looked cute!
We had a Webster family back to school dinner and enjoyed talking to our niece Emma about her week at EFY! Brynn and Brian stopped by again after kids were in bed to get a few more pieces of equipment for the TV. We chatted for a while.
Monday- Snap Chat fun!
Monday we shopped for and organized school supplies. After lunch I took the kids swimming at the Gunnerson's pool just for an hour. It got kind of over cast and chilly. That evening we had our back to school dinner with paper on the table the kids can color on. Dan gave the kids Priesthood blessings, and back packs were loaded and ready to go (even though they wouldn't start school until Wednesday). Bethany and I even got blessings. I was counselled to have the Lord help me set my priorities and keep supporting Dan. The Lord knows our sacrifices.
