Monday it was actually chilly again so I set out to make me some much loved Hot Milk.
Science lesson for the day - Ever wonder what happens to milk if you microwave it for, oh let's say 20 minutes? Well, now you know!
I clicked the beverage button and then went to work on something with my music on. I forgot about my drink and the music kept me from hearing that the microwave never turned off. It was the horrific burning smell that finally grabbed my attention! The kids all found it really funny and it took me two days to get the mug back to almost useable.
Tuesday Sylvie and I were watching old family videos from when I was a kid and I decided to show her friendship bracelets. My plan was to make her one of the 5 minute ones (that you see on her wrist below) but she saw a picture of the one on the right and insisted that it must be hers. I’ll be working on this one for a few days, I’m sure! Can’t say I didn’t learn anything in high school, though! lol
Wednesday, Ryan, Sylvie and I went shopping for rocks! Ryan’s building a wall in our yard and a new patio! Afterwards, Sylvie and I headed to the mall so I could tell them what a piece of junk my phone is. Here’s the photo the guy tried to take with my camera in the store. Let’s just say they’re mailing me a new one. To celebrate Sylvie and I went out for ice cream! This is the picture we emailed to dad to make him jealous. :)
Thursday we headed over to the local quarry to order our 3 tons of rock for our wall and then we headed to a friend’s landscaping business to look at pavers for our future patio. Yes, these photos are horrible but this time there was a smudge on the teeny tiny lens. Ugh.
Ryan worked from home today and in the evening the kids and I headed over to Ella’s school to go to the book fair and play some fun games. The kids had a great time making book marks, winning bookmarks, eating free pizza, and buying books. I figure with the amount I utilize our library I can afford to buy the occasional book
.
Friday pregnancy got the best of me. Throwing up and exhausted. Sigh. I honestly got very little done. Mom came and got Dade for the weekend and I took this awesome dance & song video of the girls.
Saturday started early as Corben headed out for a 5 mile “hike” with his Scout troop. Ryan started work on our yard. He’s taking on some serious landscaping that involved leveling the yard and over 3 tons of rock! It’s gonna be awesome. I spent the day being productive and Dade headed out to a church activity and dance. (pictures courteousy of Patricia Howell – thanks!)
Sunday was DAYLIGHT SAVINGS! (Which is short for crabby kids in the morning who don’t want to go to bed at night because the sun is still up.) We actually had no problems getting to church an hour early. Probably thanks to the fact that 3 out of 6 of us are up and out the door by 6am every morning anyway. Church was great, the weather outside is gorgeous, and we’re all feeling grand. Everyone is outside playing or inside playing chess together. Dade has already done TONS of service today and is going out again to do some more. I am so grateful for his Priesthood example to his siblings and Ryan and I.
And with that, I am now, not only caught up on my blog but posting this week EARLY! (I’ll add anything if something exciting happens but it’s the Sabbath so I’m not going for exciting…)
the end.
