March '24- Week 2- Galentine Party at Lara's, Kangaroo Zoo for Alice's BD, Pizza at Pugsley's, March BDs at Webster Fam dinner, Alice's BD date

8th- Friday: I subbed one more day in Mrs. Stutes’s class. Her sub plans weren’t great, unfortunately. The students had LOTS of computer time and 4-5 students always seemed to be “done” with whatever was assigned. I also had 5 kids check out by the end of the day.  I picked up a couple books at the library on the way home, then picked up McKenna from Nielsen’s with Adrie and Caroline. I talked with Dan some, then went to fill the van with gas. We picked up Stewart and Winegar girls (minus Whit and Katie) and went to Lara’s for a Galentine’s party we had rescheduled. We had a waffle bar and then played Bingo and Left Right Center. I left to take McKenna to Classic Fun Center to go roller skating with Bridget, Adrie, Caroline, and Clara.  The girls were having a dance party when I got back. We helped Lara clean up. The girls also made paper bag puppets. We drove home and got the girls to bed.  Dan hosted the boys over at our house for pizza and chillin.  They played Fortnite and played rough in the basement. The adults watched Dune 1.  

9th- Saturday: I exercised, Dan fed the kids, then took Alice to Walker Nelson’s BD party at Coconut Cove. Ben went to film club.  I cleaned the kitchen a bit and cleaned the fish bowl. I showered and sang a couple pieces of music. Desi and Luke came over. We all had lunch. I read books with Alice and tried to nap. Dan shaved his head and showered. McKenna worked on her lesson for YW. After Luke and Desi left, we went to Kangaroo Zoo as a family to celebrate Alice’s BD. We got ice cream after at Del Taco. We came home and got ready to go to a pizza night at the Pugsley’s. The Lemons and Sandy Stout were also there.  I lost count of how many slices I had, it was so good! The conversation was good, and the food was amazing. The kids got to swim in their hot tub as well.  We came home and the kids took their showers and baths and went to bed. The older two worked on their lessons. *Anna made some cute pixel art. *Alice has been cute to share one of her birthday gifts, letting each of us take a turn to snuggle it at night.

10th- Sunday: We were on time for church. I was so sleepy though. Emily Horne taught RS and did a great job! Dan spent most of the second hour talking with Greg Remington about his mom who just passed away and his family situation.  :( Ben stayed after for a youth council meeting. Dan and I attended Ward choir to prepare a song for Easter. We ate, watched our videos, and napped. McKenna had a meeting about being a cabin leader at girls camp this Summer. Dan took the other 4 on a walk. I practiced music and then had my family call.  We prepped fruit and went to Webster family dinner to celebrate March BDs. Both McKenna and Ben had late nights with cousins since they didn't have school the next day. *Bethany had a rash on her cheeks and arms which we think is 5ths Disease. Alice started having another cold!  

11th- Monday: I subbed in Ms. A’s 6th grade class. They were a good class and we had very little problems. I blogged while they were at their elective.  McKenna and Ben did not have school due to end of term. While they were home, they took a “run” together! Unfortunately, they both got a side ache. McKenna also did homework and Ben went to Taggart's. After school, Anna had gymnastics and Alice had Let’s Play Music. Luke also came over to hang out with Ben. Alice went on her birthday date with Dan‘s parents. The rest of us ate and folded laundry. After the girls were in bed, Dan watched a movie with the older two and I worked on music. Alice's cough and Bethany‘s rash were both better!

12th- Tuesday: I exercised, ate, and showered before McKenna and Ben woke up. McKenna also exercised. I listened to church stuff and then my book club book. I napped a little and then took McKenna to Keva Juice and Great Harvest for lunch. We went to Salt Lake Running Co. to get her some new running shoes for track. We also stopped by Target for some new exercise clothes for her. I snuggled and talked with the three girls when they got home. Bethany said she liked the school lunch, the other two girls did not. Alice told me she got pushed down by Walker at recess because he was trying to take a ball from her. She said Kaysen helped her up.  I blogged a little. Ben and Alice played Color Brain. Bethany and Alice also helped McKenna make a video for her health class. I finished making dinner and ate with Anna. She had Activity Days and I left for choir as soon as Dan got home. Choir keeps getting more and more fun as we get more and more familiar with our songs. I told the choir about my in-laws becoming the new Temple President and Matron. 


13th- Wednesday: I subbed in Mrs. Hughes theater class while she was on a field trip. The first two classes were great!  Very quiet and did work independently. The other two classes were also good, they were just louder and had more active things to do like go over lines and dances and play games. I also did lunch duty. We brought home Lucy for Bethany and Yaritza for Anna for play dates. Alice went to Oakley’s. I napped. Ben went home to Henry’s. I talked with McKenna about her day. She ran on the treadmill. Once play dates were done, I started making dinner. We ate and Ben and McKenna went to YM/YW, which was to go to the Church History Museum downtown. The two younger girls took showers. I worked on my music. We watched a little “Hercules” before bed. I worked more on my music and then FaceTimed Dan who was in Moab for the night after interviewing some people for jobs down there. Ben lifted weights. 


14th- Thursday: I drove the elementary girls to school. I exercised and hurried to get ready for my dentist appointment. I had no cavities!  I got dinner going in the crock pot. The big garage door had troubles opening. I thought it was a battery thing. I also brought in loose items so the wind wouldn’t blow things away. We had strong winds forecasted. I talked with Dan who made it back to Murray safely. I napped, scrolled, and worked on a grocery order for a long time. I ate lunch. I practiced my choir songs. I picked up Jr. High kids. Everyone told me about their day. Anna celebrated Pi day. Bethany had her class auction. Alice has a leprechaun visit her math class and steal some things. I studied my written notes from choir school. I added stuff to the crockpot and then picked up Dan from the car rental place. We ate dinner and I drove the girls to gymnastics and then went to choir. I’m making more friends and getting to know people better. I also find myself looking forward to and counting down the days till I get to go to Chorale or  Choir School next. I think it’s because I’m getting anxious to see what being in the real choir will be like. Bethany had a late night with Brooklyn because of no school the next day.
