Sept. 2020- Week 3- "Echo" Book Club, Swimming at Winegar's, Rubberband Jewelry, Ben Boy Cousin Night, New Plants, Bethany Cold

 Tuesday was a pretty normal day.  The kids played with the Johnsons and Henry Alexander.  That night I went to book club at Sarah Moulton's to discuss the book "Echo." It was a great discussion about the power of music.  

Wednesday the kids started waking up with alarms.  Such a great thing!  After they left I worked on collaging phone pictures.  Ben played at Lewis's.  McKenna joined the zoom Harry Potter club at school.  I took my three girls, Cooper, Desi, and Mabel to Lewis Park to play for a bit.  Sara Stewart happened to be there too.  That night Dan and I were able to chat with both our parents and I looked over some Primary music stuff.  

Thursday I attended a primary presidency meeting to talk about how we could possibly put together some sort of primary program this year.  It was great to be with the presidency and Alice loved playing with all the other kids there.  After lunch and homework, Ben and Anna went out with the Alexanders to sell elastic band "jewelry."  Bethany played at Adam and Mia's.  I called Jonathan and attended music with Bethany.  While Anna was at dance, Desi stayed to play with Alice, which was so cute and nice of her.  I worked on more picture collages that night while Dan had Bishop meetings.  

Friday I ran 2 miles outside and the kids did some homework before breakfast.  Ben had a student council meeting and Dan took McKenna and Anna to shop for birthday presents for friends.  I worked on a grocery order and Amy Hamblin came over to talk more about primary music stuff.  We packed a lunch and went swimming at the Winegar's.  Swa, Brynn, Abril, and Laurie were all there.  Anna went to McKayla Searle's Birthday party.  After dinner, Ben went to hang out with boy cousins at the Winegar's.  Dan and I went on a date to Hug-He's.  After kids were in bed, we had a friends game night with the Johnsons, Alexanders, and Rowes.  We played the headphone game and laughed really hard at Rachael yelling her responses.  

Saturday Ben's friend Nate Johnsen and Bethany's friend Arlee came to play.  It rained a lot that morning.  Later, Lyla and Emi came to play with McKenna and Anna.  I love it when we can let each kid have a play date!  After lunch and the rain let up, we went to J and J's garden center in Layton to buy some plants.  We got home and cleaned the basement while Dan worked on the sprinklers.  After dinner, we went to the Pugsleys to hang out, along with the Moultons.  We talked and played Skyjo and had dessert.  McKenna went to Brinley Aune's outdoor movie birthday party.  Unfortunately, Bethany started having a runny nose.  :(

Sunday during at-home church, we had a lesson about Christ's visit to the Nephites in the Americas.  We watched a video and talked about what it would have felt like to be there and I totally felt the Spirit.  I so wished I could have been there to witness that great event.   After lunch, we watched "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," and later napped.  After dinner, we walked around the neighborhood down to the Kump's and back.    

Monday Bethany's cold was too bad for her to go to school, so she stayed home as a distance learner.  It was pretty slick to have that option.  After lunch and laundry, Bethany had Zoom meetings.  I did some yard work and Dan and I planted the new plants we bought on Saturday. Ben had a baseball game that evening and we talked with the Leavitt's the whole time because their son was on the opposing team.
