Tuesday I exercised and we went to the church gym for ministering visits with Amy, Shelly, and Melissa Roth. I listened to my book club book. After school, Anna was late for dance due to missing tights and shoes which she took out of her dance bag at home for some reason. Ben worked on a book report and had Jr. Jazz. I bought our Disneyland t-shirts that night online and Dan worked on the Pinewood Derby car.
Wednesday I called my mom. :) After school we ran an errand to buy a BD present. McKenna went to Backstage for an extra rehearsal with Lyla for Peter Pan scenes. Dan and I watched more of the "Tidying Up" show.
Thursday I exercised and Dan went to the temple. He's been so good about going every week! Bethany's preschool had "Moms and Muffins." Bethany loved having me there and was quite sad to see me go when she had to stay for the rest of her class. Ben and Dan finished up the Derby car.
Friday morning, all the kids had dentist appointments and there were NO cavities! I helped Rachael Alexander drive Henry's homework to school since her car was dead. I met with Becky and Joanne to talk about YW music. I watched Hazel during lunch. After dinner we went to the long awaited Pinewood Derby!
Ben helped tell about an Adventure badge their den completed.
Ben's car got 1st, 2nd, 2nd, and 2nd place in each of the heats he raced. Even with that, he did not place over all, but he had lots of FUN and showed great sportsmanship!
His award was the best "Starry Night" car.
The kids all had a sleep over in McKenna's room that night. We left the iPad on Facetime in the hallway and Dan and I went to the Johnson's for a fun game night and stayed up way too late!
Saturday Ben went to a BD party for Anna and Millie Fairbanks. McKenna had play practice. We went to lunch at Ramblin Roads with some of the Websters. I had a bad head ache but we went through some clothes in the afternoon. Lyla came home with us here after rehearsal and they played for a while. After kids were in bed, I worked on prepping a YW lesson I was going to teach the next day.
Sunday I taught the Laurels about eternal marriage then we practiced "If We Love Him" which the YW would sing at New Beginnings. That afternoon, our attempts at our Come Follow Me lesson bombed. There was a LOT of push back from the kids saying it was too boring and they wanted it to be more "fun." I felt pretty discouraged... Dan came home and we had a little lesson about John the Baptist. That night at Webster family dinner we discussed more of Come Follow Me and got a few more ideas of what's working for other families. Dan and I also worked on Ben's baptism invite and program.
Babies sleeping with their bums in the air is my favorite. and the TV stand became Alice's favorite place to pull up. :)
Monday I did laundry, ran to Costco and got a carwash. McKenna worked on a poster for school and Ben worked on his book report.
That night was the Nelson Family Party for January BDs! The kids had fun riding around the gym on scooters.
Tuesday I exercised and got the oil changed in the van. The kids had a "reunification drill" and I helped with one of the class calling trees. McKenna went to play at Lyla's to play and we delivered Ben's baptism invitations then he went to play at the Alexander's. Bethany was too sick with a cold to go to preschool. Anna got to bring a friend to dance with her and she chose Emi. Ben had Jr. Jazz that night and McKenna, Anna, and Bethany stayed home.
That night I felt super sick too. Achy, chills (but no fever), and a very stuffy nose. And Dan and I did not sleep well at all!
Wednesday Dan had to go to Ceder City for work. We had a day of rest at home watching lots of shows and feeling crapy. Anna had a cold too but hers included a fever and she needed her inhaler. Ben and McKenna carried on as normal with piano, playing at Alexander's, and homework (McKenna working on her Middle Ages castle).
Thursday we picked up Dan's car bright and early from Burt Brothers. Bethany still did not go to preschool. Ben babysat while Alice napped and I took Anna to go with me to pick up Lyla and McKenna from rehearsal but was quite late due to a train. We worked more on McKenna's castle that night.
