2nd- Saturday: I got up around 8:15 and exercised. I ate and then took Bethany to her friend Lucy’s house. I picked up groceries and listened to my book some. I boiled some eggs and then showered. I picked up Bethany and Lucy’s mom showed me around their house they've made so many nice updates too . Anna skipped basketball practice because of her sore throat and it hurt her to breath heavily. The cold front and snow storm arrived! We probably got 3 inches! I napped and then took Anna to Kingston’s house to hang out with him, Claire, and Brantly. I came home and practiced music. I picked Anna up. Ben had Luke over. I talked with McKenna some. We had frozen pizza for dinner. The girls did their showers and baths. I took McKenna to Megan Hunter’s house for a movie night. I watched the new Trolls movie with the three girls. I got them to bed and then decorated for Alice’s Bd. Dan was able to get on an earlier flight and got home an hour earlier than expected! We hugged and kissed a lot and loved snuggling as we went to bed late! *Ben was very sweet and told me I’ve done a really good job while Dad’s been gone so long. I really am so grateful for a smooth week without Dan. I felt strong and capable and also much less anxious than I thought I would have been. It was an answer to my prayers!
3rd- Sunday: Alice’s 6th birthday! Alice came in a little after 7. I showered. We fed Alice only because it was fast Sunday. Grandma, Grandpa, McKenna, and I all shared our testimonies in Sacrament meeting. I talked about the importance of knowing we're a child of God. We went to the Jensen’s SS lesson. Once we got home, we gave Alice her present, then we started looking at Dan’s pictures from his trip. The three girls ate. Dan and I napped. I practiced music a little before my family call. Dan played Skyjo with some of the kids while I was on my call. We had spaghetti for dinner and chocolate chip cookies for dessert for Alice’s birthday dinner! We said what we love about her. I said that I love how she loves to learn and is getting so smart with reading and math and how to be a good friend! We picked up Andrew, Russell, and Kate and went to Jake and Abril’s house for Enzo’s baby blessing. The cousins loved being together. We got the kids to bed a little late, I packed my lunch, and then I looked more at Dan’s pictures. *I’m so thankful for Alice in our family! She is smart and funny and learning to be helpful around the house.
4th- Monday: I subbed in Ms. Stutes’ class. They’re a pretty good class. I mostly have to remind a few boys to stay on task over and over. Once we got home, I helped Alice make her "all about me poster. Ben was cute and tried to make an additional “picture” out of cardboard to go with Alice a new Gabby camera. I kept the laundry going. Dan got home in time to take Anna to gymnastics and Alice to music. I made homemade breakfast sandwiches for dinner. I ate with Dan and the B-team. Dan left with Ben to pick Anna up and take her to her final basketball game. We joined at halftime. Sadly, they lost by quite a bit, but Anna said she was still glad she played this season! We got courtesy ice cream cones after. Once we got home, we folded laundry and got the girls to bed. I put my own laundry away and then instagrammed for a while. Dan worked and I practiced my music some.
5th- Tuesday: I exercised once everyone left. I ate, showered, washed my sheets, and got dinner going in the crock pot. I worked on some emails and texts. I also worked on clearing pictures and videos off my phone. I napped and worked on the blog some. I had lunch and swept the laundry room. I moved pictures to the hard drive. I worked more on videos. I chatted with the kids when they got home. Bethany informed me of a kid being too rough at recess. Alice got a new instructor in her class! Anna talked about Halloween costumes with her friends. They did piano and I actually napped again. Taggart came over. I finished getting dinner ready. I ate alone and then once Dan got home, I left for Chorale. I finally felt like my voice was back to normal after being sick in February. It was great to hear some stories from the Philippines. Dan fed the kids and got them to bed. He and Ben lifted and worked on the ladder project for Dan’s work.
6th- Wednesday: I subbed in Ms. Stutes's class again. It went pretty well. I let the kids eat lunch in the classroom, which meant I had a very short lunch. I probably won’t do that again. I had to stay after a bit to get things ready for the Thursday sub. The girls did not have piano. The Winegar girls came over for a play date. I napped and then talked with McKenna and Ben when they got home. I started making dinner and then took McKenna to her choir festival at WX. Once Dan got home, we went to watch it. We got to see Russell’s choir perform as well. McKenna's Choir got a Superior rating! We came home and had dinner. Dan’s dad joined us. Bethany and Alice did showers. We got them to bed. Dan worked on his “ladder” craft project. I worked on emails.
7th- Thursday: I exercised once everyone left. I ate and showered and then checked Ben out of school to take him to lunch at Sweeto Burrito. I was grateful for that time with him and to be able to tell him how grateful I am for him! We grabbed some produce from Smith’s too. I also had to take McKenna some clean pants because she slipped in the mud leaving the seminary building. I worked on a grocery order and napped. I picked up the Jr. High kids, then took Ben to Caleb’s house. I drove Bethany to Activity Days. McKenna and did homework. Anna went home with Claire and stayed till 7:15.
