FIRST SUNDAY OF THE YEAR
It was really weird in our Fast and testimony meeting that it took three quarters of the meeting before any of my kids bore their testimonies! So weird. Especially because Jack had been asking me all morning if it was fast or slow Sunday. So I assumed he was planning on bearing his testimony. It was fine, but I was bummed I didn't get to hear my Jack Jack. I think he was feeling a little under the weather. He wasn't really himself all day. Maybe the new schedule threw him off?
Primary went way better than expected. Way less chaotic than I could have predicted. Which was really nice. It was weird to come home at 4:00 and have to start dinner. We were all a little weirded out. But here's to the new year and new schedule. Hopefully Nate can figure out a way to stay past the sacrament? 1-7-18
FHE
Kelly taught us a really nice lesson, we played four corners, and had drumsticks. Lots of fun. We missed Bradley who was at his rehearsal. 1-8-18
CITRUS PEAR
Jami invited me to her Citrus Pear night. This ended up being SO COOL! Two and half hours = 10 meals! I loved it! It was so easy, no set up, no clean up, and barely any work in between. It really was so simple. I enjoyed hanging out with Jami and chatting with the girl on my left. It was really just a fun evening. And so productive. We've had two of the meals and they were both great! I wish it was easier to get into those classes. 1-9-18
THE GREATEST SHOWMAN
Charity had been dying to see this show. I had too kind of with all the hype I'd been seeing. We were struggling to find a day that would work for all of us, but then Kelly's babysitting gig cancelled on her, which ended up freeing up Friday night! So we arranged to take all the big kids (8 and up). I got a sitter for Jack and Molly and we all went to the theater. The movie was great! It wasn't really what we had expected and not as much for young kids as much as I had heard, so that was slightly disappointing, but it was good, and we all enjoyed it. Very entertaining. And really, the best part was just hanging out with the big kids. They deserved a little night out without having to help out with littles. So the highlight or maybe big thrill of the evening was when we all got "hit by a car" in the parking lot. Then yelled at for getting worked up over it. Classic. I am so grateful for Nate and his ability to diffuse these situations. Kinda weird. The adrenaline was pumping, that's for sure! But anyway- fun night out with the big kids! 1-12-18
PING PONG TOURNAMENT
We had a really fun Ping Pong Tournament on Saturday night. We found a double elimination bracket online and used that. It was a lot of fun! Everyone did pretty good with sportsmanship and getting along. It was really fun to hear everyone cheering on Jack and helping him feel cool. In the end, Luke won! Good times. 1-13-18
