Nov. '23- Week 1- Subbing in Jr. High Science, Bethany's Frozen show, STEM Expo, Ministering Visit

Nov. 1- Wednesday: Bethany came in in the middle of the night around 4am because her name pictures frame had fallen off the wall and made such a loud crash! We all got to sleep in in the morning! We sorted and organized candy and then had breakfast. We cleaned up the kitchen and roasted pumpkin seeds. McKenna exercised. I helped Alice change out her clothes. We had lunch and then I changed out the decorations to Thanksgiving decor. Oliver came over. Anna, Bethany, and Ben had piano. Alice went to play with Hazel.  Bethany had a dress rehearsal with full hair and make-up. McKenna went on a hike with friends, and then did homework.  I tried to nap. I made breakfast burritos for dinner. Ben and I went to the church early. He set up the escape room activity and I had a presidency meeting. The activity was way fun and very well put together!  Dan had church meetings. I got the girls to bed and did dishes. Ben pulled his second tooth of the week! 

Nov. 2nd- Thursday: I subbed in Jr. High science. Anna and Ben had Shrek dress rehearsal with hair and makeup after school. I made soup for dinner. I ate with Bethany and Alice and they went to gymnastics. McKenna had piano, then Dan and I had some time with her alone while everyone else was gone. I went to a stake YW training and Dan picked all the kids up. We talked to Ben about make believe characters... 

Nov. 3rd- Friday: I subbed as a first grade instructor for most of the day, then subbed in Ms. Taylor’s for about an hour and half.  Once we got home, I finished the grocery order. The girls played with Desi and McKenna did homework. Dan and I took Ben and Luke to Crew’s house, then we went to dinner at Zupa’s in Farmington station (again, to celebrate making the Choir). We bought a couple new shirts for me then headed home. We finished tidying up and Anna’s friends came over (Aubrey, Yaritza, Rose, Mason, and Kingston).  They played darts and threw ping pong balls at each other.  They played outside and then watched something in the theater room. Dan and I worked on financial stuff and tried to plan a trip for our family. We talked with Kenna some once she got home. *Dan's boss, Nikki, sent me some beautiful flowers to congratulate me on making the Choir. So sweet and thoughtful!

Nov. 4th- Saturday: I got Ben and Anna ready for their dress rehearsal. I exercised then ate with Bethany and Alice and McKenna. Dan picked up groceries. Once everything was put away, I started on yard work with McKenna. Dan put up Christmas lights. The weather was so great!  I also listened to my book club books. We ran McKenna to track sweetening recording, Bethany to Clara’s, and Alice to Meg’s. Ben and Anna went to Luke’s after rehearsal.  I showered and got Bethany ready for her show.  We ate at chick fil a and then I attended Beth’s show with Grandma and Grandpa Webster.  Mrs. Harmon also came! She did so great as young Elsa, and all her ensemble parts! She even kept going even when she missed a line.  Anna had Desi over. All the girls got to bed by 10. McKenna got home late at 11:15. 

Nov. 5th- Sunday: While Alice ate breakfast, I worked on the chicken and broccoli for dinner. I showered and got all the girls ready.  I lead the music in Sacrament meeting. More friends found out I made the choir. I napped a little before my family call.  We found out Dylan broke his arm close to the wrist by falling up the stairs.  After the call, I made dinner and everyone packed lunches.  We ate and then Ben went to Prelude Orchestra rehearsal and the rest of us played games!  I went to Prelude Choir after that.  Dan and I talked about a new organization app to help with my lists. 

Nov. 6th- Monday: I subbed in junior high science again. The students had good behavior, but the last two periods barely did any of their work. I was able to do some blogging and uploading videos to YouTube throughout the day, which was nice. Once we got home, Alice fought me on homework. Anna had gymnastics and Alice had music. McKenna ate before her rehearsal. I ate it with the three girls and they packed lunches and we folded laundry. Dan took Ben and most of the boy cousins his age to the STEM expo at the Davis County Conference Center. I started feeling a runny nose which is super annoying and unfortunate since I would be getting sick for a third time since the school year started.

Nov. 7th- Tuesday: I exercised after the kids left. I ate and showered and then Marco Poloed. I also Instagrammed and wasted a lot of time. I napped and then ate lunch. I worked on the blog and making picture collages for October. The kids got home and I started on Ben and Anna’s hair and makeup for their dress rehearsal. I dove them there, then came home and started on dinner. I helped Alice with her music homework. We ate and Dan got home. I went to the RS sourdough bread making class, then I went to Black Smith ice cream with Chelsie Mudrow and Meghan Johnson for a little ministering visit.  I talked with Dan once we got home.
