A day with Honor

Ok so Honor got here right around 7:45 this morning and was more awake than I was expecting her to be. Elyssa got up with me this morning to keep Honor company while I made breakfast and got myself started for the day. Everything went fine and Honor wasn't to hyper today. She did pase a little but not to much. Unfortunately it was suppose to rain today so the kids had to be cooped up in the house for most of the day. But by the afternoon it was looking pretty nice outside so I went out with the kids and let them run off some of their energy. Well Honor found this really old really big badminton ball and some old tennis rackets in the yard that I forgot were out there and decided that she wanted to play golf with them. Ofcouse she got a kick out of it and so did my kids so they played that for awhile then they decided that that was not enough and wanted to climb the tree in the front yard. Now while I don't usually allow my children to climb the tree because they can get hurt Honor was up it before I could tell her no. So I figured why not and allowed them all to play in the tree. Now you have to understand that the tree is not very big so they had to take turns in the tree. It wasn't that bad but man can Honor climb (pictures to come tomorrow). Who so we had her from 7:45 this morning until 6 tonight. Let me tell you I think I got my work out with that one today. She really is a handful but I loved having her here. I hope that she can come and play again. I know Elyssa liked having a friend here to play with but maybe not as long next time. Honor climbing up into the tree.

Family Fun Day

Ok so not much happened yesterday so thats why I didn't blog. I just did my usual thing and that was it.

Now for today. I got up with the kids and put them on the bus and then got ready for my day. Then I went up to Elyssa's school to vol. for the day but only stayed until 12:00 then I headed over to Michelle's house to try and finish up the Footprint covers for the Womens Conference next weekend. Ofcouse I didn't finish but I don't have much left to do so I should be able to finish them on Monday. Here's hoping anyway. Then I got home at about 4 and made dinner. Then we watched a couple of movies together as a family. Since we don't get to spend very much time together our new family fun day is on Friday's. Then I put the kids to bed around midnight and cleaned up the house to get ready for Honor tomorrow. She is suppose to be here around 7:30 in the morning. I can't wait. I will let you know how that goes tomorrow.

Well that's all for today. Blog at you later.

Doing Nails

Tuesday was a good day. Not to much happened except we went and paid some bills then had a little family time then came home. Like I said not much happened.

Now for today. I got up this morning and did my usual routine. You know put the kids on the bus did a little cleaning then went about my day with crafts or reading or cooking. Today I decided to try and cook a pork roast in the oven since it wont fit in my slow cooker. I turned out fine but next time I need to remember to season it first. It was kinda plane tasting. Anyway you learn from you mistakes right. After I finished that I got a call from Danielle asking me if I would come over to her house today and do her nails for her. I said yes and that I would be there about 4:00. She said that was fine and we hung up. Then I went about the rest of my day. I needed to go to the store to get some food because well it was just time to go shopping. I spent a little more than I was expecting to but it will be fine. Then when the kids got home from school we all headed over to Danielle's. I did her nails in this gold glitter then painted the tips black with a yellow pinstripe at the bottom. She is a total Stealers fan. Can you tell. Anyway we stayed there until 8:15 and are now at home. I know I know I shouldn't keep the kids out so late on a school night but we don't get to see Danielle and her girls very often so I think it will be fine. Well I am tired and headed to bed so.......

That's all for today. Blog at you later.

Major Migraine

Ok so my day went fine until about 3:00 when I got this really bad headache. I use to get them all the time when I had long hair but not since I cut it short, so it really surprised me when I got it this afternoon. I did what I normally do and took a couple of pain killers and went to bed but I still have it. I hope this doesn't last to much longer. I hate having headaches. Anyway like I said my day went fine. I got up with the kids this morning and put them on the bus then went about my cleaning as usual. After all that was over I finished up on some crafts I have been working on and then got that really bad headache. Now I am getting ready to go back to bed and hopefully wake up without this migraine.

Well that's all for today. Blog at you later.

Normal Day at Church

Today was a pretty normal day as far as Sunday's go. We got up ate breakfast got dressed and went to chruch. The kids practiced their parts for the Primary Program on the 20th and we learned a really great lesson in Sunday school and Relief Society. We also got a new girl called into the Activity Days Program. Her name is Sis. Molly Cherrington. I am really glad they called her. Then we came home and ate lunch and did our scriptures and now are all headed to bed.

That's all for today. Blog at you Later.

Family day for the most part

I woke up early today and made pancakes for everyone then cleaned the house. After all that was done we decided to take a walk as a family. Normally Dale and the kids just take the dog and go by themselves but today I wanted to go with them. So we all got dressed and took our walk. We walked down the road to the neighborhood behind us on Bluebird lane. It was a great walk and I got a good amount of exercise in. I have discovered that from now on I am going to drive to the neighborhood and then walk it because it has a very big hill at the beginning of the road and it just about killed me to walk up it. Anyway the kids decided that they wanted to stay over there and play with their friends and Dale and I came home. Then I helped him set up his blog. It is called Sweat Lodge, A reflection of my life. I think its a cleaver title and really reflects who he is. Anyway the kids came home at about 2:00 and Elyssa's friend Madison stayed over until her mom finished her running around. Then I made dinner and we did our scriptures. After dinner was over we all sat down and watched a couple of movies. The first was Wall-E I love that movie. I have not been able to see it in a while because I let a friend borrow it and then she moved so I had to wait until he unpacked everything before I got it back. Anyway after Wall-E we watched Two Brothers. For anyone out there who has never seen it, it is about to brother Tigers and everything they go through in the first few years of their lives. It is a really cute movie. Although I have to admit that at first glance I thought I wasn't going to like it because there really isn't much talking. But all in all I think I really did like it. Anyway after the movies the kids headed to bed and Dale headed off to work. So now I am catching up on my day and then headed to bed myself because we have church tomorrow.

Well that's all for now. Blog at you Later.

Articles of Faith

Today I found a really cool place to go and get good idea's for activity days. Its called Emma's Place. Its a LDS blog site I didn't know about until I found it today. Anyway she had a couple of really good idea's. I have been looking for a fun way to help the girls learn their articles of faith and she had a really good one. Its called magnet articles of faith. First of all you print up all the articles of faith and make sure they are big enough that you can cut the individual words apart. Then you laminate them and cut them apart. Make sure you space the words far enough apart other wise you have a hard time cutting them. Then you put magnets on the back of each word. Once all of this is done and trust me its a lot of work. You find a nice piece of metal that you can cover with fabric to make it look pretty. Then you just have them take the words that are all mixed up and put them in the right order to spell out the article of faith. Doesn't that sound like fun for the girls anyway? I think the girls will get a kick out of it. I was thinking about having them break up into a couple of teams and try to win a prize. Of course all the girls will get something but the winners will get a little something extra. I was thinking about doing this for the next activity. I will let you know how it turns out.

Of course you know you could always just do this at home for a family home evening activity also. Its a good way to help your own kids learn their articles of faith. The kids would love it. I think I will try it out on my kids first and see how it goes. Again I will let you know how it turns out.

Well other than that I spent the whole day just hanging out and working on a couple of projects I have going on. Not that I got any of them finished except the Articles of Faith game. But what do you expect to happen when my husband is home all day. Sometimes he's just as much of a handful as the kids are. But I love him anyway and I don't get to see him that much so anytime I get with him is fine with me. Even if I don't get to finish my projects. I love you babe.

Well I guess that's all for today. Blog at you later.
