PRIMARY PROGRAM
It was a big hit!! I thought the kids did fantastic! We got to show them my video during Sharing time and I think the Senior Primary really enjoyed it :) so that was fun. I love having something to contribute. 10-15-17
I DID IT!!
I fixed the washer!! I so wish I'd looked it up sooner, but I finally re-read the manual, looking for some troubleshooting ideas for why my washer was taking so long to wash, and sure enough, I'd missed that there is a pump filter that needs to be cleaned out monthly (how gross that we've owned it for over a year and a half and never done that!). I cleaned it out and the problem was solved! Along with the smelly problem!! I am SO RELIEVED!! It really is such a great feeling to not be trying to think of how to cover up that smell. I will have to stay on this from now on. So glad my machine isn't broken or something. 10-16-17
LUNCH WITH KENNI
I am so sad about this, but also so excited for Kenni- she is moving in two weeks! Bums me out!! AND she's having a baby that I won't get to see probably. SO crazy! But really, such a cool adventure for her family. I will miss her and our lunches with Heather. She's such a good friend. She invited me to their Young Women leader lunch (even though I'm not one), luckily she invited Alana and Erica too, so I didn't feel so out of place. It was so much fun to be with everyone. I wish we could do that more often. 10-16-17
FHE
We had a lesson on manners and privacy. Pretty exciting game Nate made up to go with it. Then Nate made my treat for us, no-bake cookies. Fun stuff. 10-16-17
TUESDAY LATE START
I can't say I'm a big fan of the whole late start thing at the High School. I know this is new for us this year and by next year at this time we'll be pros, but for now- it's not my favorite. So far Charity or I have forgotten about late start almost every week. We usually remember before we get to the High school by 7:20, but it's been really frustrating figuring out how to get her and the elementary school kids off at such similar times. Whoever made the decision to have it start at 8:30 did not have elementary school kids at the same time. Frustrating. We are figuring it out. This week I was surprised (not really, I had known about it for a while, it had just slipped my mind) with a morning side! So I got to drive the girls to that at 7:00, then Luke to his play practice at 7:45 and then as soon as I got home, got a call from the girls that they were done and needed rides- so I went and picked them up, dropped Kelly off at her school, then hurried home to get the Elementary kids ready so that I could take Charity at 8:30, then rushed back to the house, threw everyone together at the last possible minute- poor Jack still hasn't figured out that we need to hurry in the mornings- Erika too for that matter- and got them to Columbia at 8:45! What a joke!!! I am so glad that Bradley was able to catch a ride with the Nybos! It really was a joke! It's not always this crazy, but I hope we can get the crazy toned down a little bit- at least on Tuesdays. 10-17-17
ADVOCACY CONFERENCE
Well, I totally skipped out on the Advocacy conference. Kinda mad at myself, but at the same time- it was just the wrong day for it! I needed to be a mom and my house needed me to clean it. It worked out for the best. I was glad that I had made the decision to stay home until I ran into LeAnn Wood at the school. She was so nice, but I wish I had called and not just emailed that I wasn't coming. I need to be a little more reliable than that. But it happens. 10-17-17
EVACUATION PRACTICE
Jack, Molly and I walked to the school to get the Elementary kids- it was evacuation practice day and there's always so many cars there, we just decided to bypass it all. It was such a beautiful day! Didn't even need jackets. And more importantly I got to hear about everyone's day and all the cool stuff that happened as we walked home. I loved it! I need to do that more often. 10-17-17
WACKY WEDNESDAY
I missed Noah's little skit and bringing him his props. Such a bummer. Mom had been late because of a miscommunication and I had been dumb and didn't think to just go to the school with molly. I needed to go to my Council meeting and was late for that too, but I was so sad about missing Noah's skit, it didn't even matter what else happened after that. I hate being unreliable. I was then late for Playgroup as well, luckily Erica Ward was still there and Emily came back from picking up Will. So that was nice. I needed playgroup this week. 10-18-17
WHITE DRESS
Erika, Kelly and I set out to find Erika a baptism dress and were pleasantly surprised with how quickly the whole process went :). We went to Bliss- which happens to be a really awesome store for white dresses- she found about eight dresses that she liked- we took them back to the dressing room, narrowed them down to four, then two, then the most comfortable one in the bunch! So fast!! She's a good decision-maker! The one she picked out is so pretty!! And she looks so cute in it! It's so different from Charity and Kelly's, which is fun, and is going to be so fun for her to have and wear for the next little while. I hope hers fits her longer than Kelly's did. I remember we were forced to get one that fit Kelly too well (almost too small) so she didn't get to wear hers as long as Charity whose was way too big to begin with :). But anyway. She was so happy about her dress and it was so much fun to do that with her. We stopped at Walmart on our way home to get some things for Halloween costumes, and then picked up Buddy from Dan's. It was a fun evening. So glad we're making progress in the baptism department. These things are not what it's about, so I like to get them done way before so that we can focus JUST on the covenants when it finally gets close. 10-21-17
