Jan. 22nd- Sunday: I slept till 7:30 then caught up writing in my journal. We all got ready for the day and then watched two sacrament meetings via Zoom, one where David spoke and one where Joe spoke. We packed and then left the hotel by 11. We went to the New Port temple and walked around the grounds and had a mini CFM discussion. We went to a beach next and walked around and took pictures. We got Balboa bars and then had lunch at Old Spaghetti Factory. We flew home around dinner time. I listened to my book club book lots (the Prince Harry Book, Spare). Dan and Ben picked us up and it was freezing! Once I got home, I told Dan and Ben and McKenna all about my trip. I unpacked and got to bed! I'm so grateful for Dan doing so much while I was gone!
Jan. 23rd- Monday: I got ready early so I could substitute. Unfortunately, here was some miscommunication and I didn’t actually need to be there until 11am. So I went and helped in the 4th grade since Mr. McKinney was out and his class was divided. I went back to the Jr High and taught Ms. Morrison's psychology class. We went over slides about sleep. Ms. Morrison got back earlier than expected, so I left early. Ben went to the Capitol for school choice day (Charter Day on the Hill). I ended up only doing about 2.5 hours of work real work for a full day’s pay! I napped and then drove carpool. The kids and I went to see the Moulton’s puppies, then they did homework and I made dinner. McKenna ate and went to Newsies. We all ate and I cleaned the kitchen. Emmy came over for a bit while Meghan was gone. We folded laundry and Dan helped Alice go through clothes. We looked at my trip pictures and then the kids went to bed. I looked over stuff for voice and chatted with McKenna when she got home. Dan worked on church stuff.
Jan. 24th- Tuesday: Alice and I had a chill morning. After we got dressed, we went to my voice lesson. We stopped by Costco to get my eye drops and had a quick lunch. Then we went to Anna’s CK art class to volunteer in there. We came home for a little bit and then Alice went to Meghan’s while I went back to school for Jungle Book rehearsal. We ate leftovers for dinner that my mom brought by. She had leftovers from a primary activity she did. Anna had gymnastics and we picked her up and went to Backstage to see McKenna and Ben in "Newsies." The Johnsons, Hamblins, and Moultons came to watch as well!
Jan. 25th- Wednesday: I got up at 6 and woke up McKenna and Ben to go to the temple with the Hamblins. They went even though it was pretty snowy! We got Anna and Boof ready for school. Dan picked up Ben from the temple and took him to school a little late. I did a quick exercise and then ate with Alice. She did Upstart and I showered and curled McKenna’s hair. Alice and I went to my one year post eye surgery check-up. It went well and my eyes are great! We came home and I took a quick nap. Alice and I ate and then we went to her parent/teacher conference. We shoveled snow and then did her music homework. The kids had piano and I went to meet with McKenna’s counselor to talk about her 9th grade class schedule. I drove a bunch of kids home. The kids watched shows, then I started dinner and listened to my book. We ate and Anna had a primary activity. Boof had dance. I went with Ben and McKenna to the stake youth activity, which was a dance! It was a blast! The Bridlewood ward was in charge. They taught some line dances and didn't do any slow dances, which was good. I prepped food for tomorrow's dinner.
Jan. 26th- Thursday: I subbed as the instructor in Ms. Lee’s class. The reading groups and math group went well. Recess duty was super cold! I saw Anna and Ben throughout the day. I stayed after for Jungle Book practice and taught more of the elephant march and "I Wanna Be Like You." Ben had Crochet club then came to watch rehearsal. Alice and Bethany were with Grandma and Grandpa for the day/afternoon. They went to Whitney’s basketball game too. McKenna also went to the game and then got ready for Newsies. Thankfully, I had a crockpot dinner going all day so I just had to make the rice when I got home. The kids did their homework and piano. Dan hurried home to eat before some church meetings. I practiced our stake conference song with the younger 4. They went to bed and I cleaned and did a grocery order.
Jan. 27th- Friday: I exercised after the kids left. We took the van in for its emissions check and registration. After breakfast and showering and Upstart, Alice got a haircut. Once she left for preschool, I hosted a ministering sisters lunch with Meghan, Amanda, and Chelsie Mudrow. It was great to catch up with them. I napped when they left. Alice got home, I finalized the grocery order. The other kids got home. I took Anna and Bethany for haircuts and shopping for a gift for Aubrey. We brought pizza home and Ben and McKenna left for call time. The girls ate, then Dan and I left for a quick dinner date to a taco truck! It was yummy! I went to Newsies again! Both grandparents came, as well as Mickelle, Sam, Abby, Hailey, Adam and Mia. We snacked when we got home. Dan and I calendared for next week.
Jan. 28th- Saturday: We got up at 8:45, had breakfast, and Ben left for the Planetarium with the primary activity day boys. This was a kind of make-up activity from when it got cut short before. Dan gave himself a haircut. I worked on Jungle Book stuff. Anna left for Aubrey’s paint party! Dan picked up Ben a little early and took him to basketball practice. I had a phone call with Ginger Vandenberg about being in charge of food for youth conference. YIKES! We had lunch and then Dan picked up groceries and Anna. I worked on Jungle Book more. The kids watched shows and played. Dan napped and then I took Ben to Luke’s house. I napped also. McKenna left for her last Newsies show. Desi came over. We had dinner and the two little girls had baths. We watched "Alice in Wonderland" with them. Anna and Desi watched Harry Potter in the theater room. We put the girls to bed and Ben got home from Luke's. Dan and I watched the new "Knives Out" before McKenna got home.
Jan. 29th- Sunday: We fed kids breakfast at 8:30. We showered and then Rachael came over to help us practice our song for stake conference. It snowed pretty much all day but thankfully the roads weren’t too bad. We had a 5th Sunday combined youth meeting about gathering. I went to a youth conference meeting. I joined my family call late and prepped fruit for family dinner. We had Webster dinner celebrating January BDs. Then McKenna and Ben and I went to the stake center for a devotional broadcast with Elder Gong. Ben worked on homework when we got home. We tried to go to bed earlier.
Jan. 30th- Monday: I subbed again in Ms. Lee’s class. It was so cold we had to have inside recess all day! After school, I took McKenna to get a haircut. We folded laundry. The kids did homework and piano. McKenna had a piano lesson. After dinner, we watched Relative Race! After the kids were in bed, I worked on the Nelson News and Ben worked on building his robot he got from the Webster family party.
Jan. 31st- Tuesday: I exercised after kids left. Alice and I went to Bethany’s 2nd grade culminating project-- Asia day! I was kind of an extra helper and wondered to several tables. We had Chinese food for lunch. We came home and I had a head ache, so I napped and then blogged. I picked up McKenna, and then went to Jungle Book rehearsal and taught “That’s What Friends are For,” both parts. We got home and had leftovers for dinner. Anna had gymnastics and Ben had a basketball game. I was proud he took a few shots. Unfortunately, he missed, and their team lost. We put the girls to bed and then planned somethings with McKenna. I blogged a little more. Ben got asked by a girl named Emma in his class to be her Valentine! He said yes, but said he doesn’t like her. :)
