FHE

Today there was no school.  I had the kids help me with outside clean up.  They were thrilled......not really.  Every time Mayah walked passed me she made a huge sigh of discuss.  She always wants to know, "why do we always have to work on our days off of school." OH that girl. I  tell ya. 

I got a call from my sister in law today. She said she would watch my kids if I could find a way to get to Utah to visit Don.  Oh that would be cool....except for now his car is breaking down and I think it will be spendy this time.  YIKES.  I can't wait until we can actually move down there so we can all be together again as a family.  Dreaming it happens sooner than later.

For FHE tonight we played flashlight tag.  It was fun but cold.  SO COLD.  I am not a fan of the cold.  I like to be warm.  It was so funny when Rachel and I were hiding I had to go to the bathroom so bad but couldn't move because we could see the flashlight coming.  I almost busted up into a laugh.  Then Ethan started singing "what does a fox say"? and all five of us would sing the remainder of it in our own crazy voices and it really confused Ethan (he had the flashlight and was supposed to be finding us).  He would hear one of us sing and run in that direction and then another one of us would bust into another portion of the song so he would run to where he heard the voices.  WE continued to do that for awhile and finally he found us all. 

Bed time tonight was a nightmare.  It took FOREVER for the kids to get to sleep. I don't dare want to see how this is going to affect them tomorrow. 

There are so many kind people in our ward.  We have had five or six people drop by in the last couple of days to bring things for mom.  We had someone bring wholewheat rolls and homemade applesauce yesterday.  Today someone dropped off homemade bread and spiced apples.  Someone else dropped off butter, with homemade bread and homemade raspberry jam.  Someone else brought another loaf of bread.  Another lady brought two different kinds of specialty breads.  This is not good for my diet....but it is so hard to just let it sit there and look at it.  I have to test it...you know.  YUM.  These people know how to cook.  I think my 22 pound weight loss so far won't be 22 come tomorrow morning.
