16th- Saturday: We slept in till 9 and the three little girls came in to snuggle. I went running with McKenna... kind of. She was always ahead of me and ran 3 miles, while I only ran 2. :) We ate and then we worked a little on cleaning the basement. I helped Bethany get more organized in her room. Dan took the A-team to pick up groceries, get a gift for Desi, and then fill up his car. We all met at Costco and had lunch together. I took Anna to Brantley’s house while Dan stayed to shop at Costco. We all met at the car wash. Once we got home, Ben left for Seussical with Caleb at Centerpoint. We unloaded groceries. Bethany and Alice played outside. McKenna went to Collette’s house for her BD. I helped Bethany finish her room stuff. Dan gave himself a haircut. He picked up McKenna and I tried to nap. We had leftovers for dinner. Dan took McKenna and Ben to the temple for baptisms with cousins and grandma and grandpa. They checked out their new parking places. Anna went to Desi’s to celebrate Desi’s birthday with her. They decorated their own cakes and did a cake smash! I helped the girls shower then practiced my music. I also cleaned the kitchen some. Laurie paid for the temple kids to go get ice cream and Black Smith. McKenna left for the regional dance. We got the girls to bed. Ben played Fortnite with Eli. Dan and I finally finished watching the Disney Jungle Cruise movie! We talked with McKenna once she got home. She had a great time!
17th- Sunday: McKenna and I left early for church so she could practice her song with Maddie and Caroline. Quinn Koldewyn gave his homecoming talk and told great stories! We also had a parent council meeting during the 2nd hour of church. McKenna renewed her temple recommend. I got lunch started and then went to ward choir with Dan. I conducted since Emily Horne was out of town. Dan and I ate, we got dinner going in the crock pot, and we watched our videos. We napped. I had my call. Dan took the kids for a walk. My parents and Mickelle came over for dinner. They gave Alice some birthday presents. Mom and I left for the worldwide RS broadcast at the stake center. There was a testimony meeting afterwards. It was lovely to be with so many sisters and hear their testimonies. We got home and talked with my parents and put the girls to bed. Dan and I talked about Easter basket ideas.
18th- Monday: Bethany had a bad runny nose. I started subbing as Ms. Rodriguez and did her two reading groups. Next, I went to Ms. Kelsey’s room from 10-1, with a lunch break in there too. They are such a hard class with 4-5 students who constant disrupt! I was kind of hard on them and had them practice being quiet a lot! Next, I went to Ms. Huggard’s class since she was leaving early. They mostly did Lexia. Once we got home, I could finally reply to some texts. The kids started folding their laundry. The weather was beautiful! I took Anna to gymnastics and then attended music with Alice. Dan made our green French toast commemorating the earthquake 4 years ago! We had the young adults over again, but this time only 4 couples were able to come. Doug Horne gave a great spiritual thought about increasing our spiritual capacity. Anna did most of the babysitting and did great. McKenna had to go refilm a school project that accidentally got deleted. I folded laundry and Dan and I talked and went to bed.
19th- Tuesday: I exercised once everyone left. I ate and watched Marco Polos. I changed and headed to the temple for an Initiatory session. I felt the spirit as soon as I said the first name! I went shopping at DownEast and found lots of great clothes! The store is closing, so they were having a great sale! I came home and ate and showered and napped. The kids got home and I heard about their days. They played outside and I joined them. I also took down the railing Christmas lights and then played frisbee (mostly with Anna). I went in and finished dinner. Dan got home and we all ate together before McKenna and I left. I took her to her district solo and ensemble performance, then I left for Chorale rehearsal. We were able to sing through all four anthem pieces and record them for practicing. We also sang through the Requiem. Our concert is in 1 month! I talked with Dan once I got home and showed him all my new clothes.
20th- Wednesday: I did not work. I got to watch the news, nap a little, and not eat breakfast till almost 10am. I came in my room after and worked on the blog and napped. I got dressed and ate lunch then blogged some more. The girls got home and I worked on McKenna’s track forms. Bethany and Anna had piano and got scared by a big dog on the way home. Ben went to Taggart’s after his piano. Anna and McKenna went to Desi’s play (High School Musical). I went outside with Bethany and Alice. We played a little, then I started on some yard work. Dan got home and we had leftovers for dinner. McKenna and Ben went to the combined building activity, which was minute to win it games, but with chocolate. They called it "Chocolate Wars." The two youngest did their showers. I worked on a grocery order after they were in bed. We talked with McKenna about going to St. George over the weekend with Adrie.
21st- Thursday: I subbed in Ms. Jacob’s class. The fifth graders got to see an assembly done by a traveling Shakespeare cast. They did some scenes from Hamlet and talked about how the outcome could have been different had they characters made better choices. The rest of the day was kind of rough. About 4-5 boys were just constantly talking and not fixing any behavior I corrected. After lunch, there was also a hard lockdown drill and the kids did ok. I tried to nap once I got home. I made dinner. McKenna ran, packed, and then went to piano. The three girls played outside. We ate dinner together. Dan took the girls to gymnastics. I left for Choir School. We found out our first Broadcast will be April 28th! We worked on intervals and overtones with Linda. We sang in small groups to help prepare us for the final singing test. Dan took the four youngest to the mountain biking team meeting.
