- Saturday was Spectrum testing for Bradley and Charity. (I'm still kicking myself for not just registering Kelly for it... I kept waiting for her teacher to send home the form... ) They were at opposite ends of the district unfortunately, so Nate took Charity, I took Bradley, Kelly babysat, and then Nate hurried off to work. I think they did well, they were both exhausted afterward! I can't imagine what it would be like to have my kids in different schools, away from each other. I secretly hope they don't pass. But either way. I know they're smart. I don't need a test to tell me that. So do they.
- Monday we took the car in for what we thought was an alignment problem and found out that it was actually the tire separating. There was a big bubble formed between teh outer and inner layer of the tire. It was a pretty big deal I guess, and a miracle that it didn't pop/shred on the freeway during one of the many times we drove it. We're SO blessed. Then Gary, our Elder's Quorum President, who manages the Big-O gave us a KILLER deal on some really nice heavy duty tires. I mean a REALLY good deal. Another blessing. I really like that Heavenly Father takes such good care of us. I am not sure we deserve it, but I'll take it regardless! I spent the day trying to get a chance to clean my house. I did get about 9 loads of laudnry folded, a couple more washed and dried, a couple loads of dishes done, and a few other random chores, but seriously, it is hard to do housework with a baby. Even when I don't have a car or anywhere to go.
After school, I took Luke to his well-child visit. It was nice to hear that he is still growing, even though he doesn't eat. And then we had his 5 warts frozen off. Poor kid!!! I hated seeing him go through that. I hope with all the hope in my little heart, that he doesn't have to go back to have anything else done to them! 2-4-13
- Since our car was all better, we were able to drive out to South Jordan for Grandpa Russ's 68th birthday. We all met at IHOP for dinner. Everyone (with the exception of the out-of-towners) was there! It was lots of fun. 2-4-13
- We found out this week that come April, Nate will be losing a day a week. This will bring our monthly income down about 20%. It's only supposed to be until October, so hopefully it's not too bad, but it's a little frustrating with all that we've had planned. A house, Disneyland... etc... I am trying to not look at it as a wo is us kind of thing, but it is a huge bummer. At least he still has a job though. He will also be losing all of his annual leave, and personal leave. Just sick leave will be left. We'll see how it goes I guess. Hopefully it doesn't really happen. Who knows with the Government.
- I spent most of the day Tuesday driving my Mom around because she was stuck at home and babysitting. We brought them home with us. Then that night, we had Chris and Stephanie over for dinner. Good food, good convo, and good news- they're having a baby! Due early September. We're excited for them.
- Wednesday was 8 Cow Woman night. For Relief Society. It was a lot of fun. I wish I had a talent to show off. And I think I might try to get back into couponing again. We'll see. It's like a part time job and I don't know if I'm up for that.
- Thursday was the Science Fair! Kelly's been working on her project for a few weeks. She did one where she tested plants growth with different liquids. She found oiut that Coke helped it grow as much as water did. And the lemon juice, energy drink and carrot juice did not. She was so cute about her project, did the WHOLE THING! all by herself. I was SO impressed! I can't believe how much initiative that girl has. Charity did a project as well (they both did them by choice, they were not required). Hers was testing the resistance of different metals to electricity. Very cool. She had a good time. She did a great job as well! Hers required a little more help from Nate, but she did well. We missed the drawing and announcement of the winners, but Charity won something in the drawing. I think they should do winners for the 4th and 5th graders, even though they do not have to compete, and cannot move on. Just for fun. Oh well. Kelly was slightly disappointed. It was a little anticlimactic for her I think. But she's still planning on doing one next year, so I think it was okay! I'm so proud of them for doing extra curricular activies like this. I love it! They're just so awesome. We went out to ice cream to celebrate! Grandpa Hatch joined us even though he'd missed the Fair.
