7 February 2013

1. Becca was in town this week to visit her sister so she came to spend the day with us. We had a great time! We haven't had much chance to talk in the past so it was good to have the one-on-one time with her.
2. We went to Fernbank and the kids were really good and had fun.
3. Matt met us for lunch at Community Q. It's so nice when I can see him in the middle of the day. And the brisket was yummy!
4. Day 3 on the treadmill! I'm feeling good about the schedule of doing it and I plan to keep it up.
5. We have babysitters for Friday night and Saturday afternoon! So we can go to the class at the church and see The Hobbit. Yesss!

6 February 2013

1. We went to visit Jana today and I had a good time. Often, I feel like my kids are out of control and I'm out of the loop on the conversation, so it was a nice change.
2. I dropped off my shoes and went to the library so I got all of my errands done before lunch.
3. Bobby giggled when it was time for his nap. I love that reaction so much more than crying.
4. Day 2 on the treadmill. Go me!
5. Jean and I got to chat today for the first time in a while. Between my trip and Matt's trip, I just haven't seen her in a long time so it was nice to catch up.

5 February 2013

1.  Matt woke up with the kids.  They didn't wake up until just before 7am, but it was nice to have that hour before Matt left for work to lay down in bed and not feel responsible.
2.  I cleaned the front room.  It's amazing how much nicer it feels to have one clean room in the house.  And the rug looks SO much better after being freshly vacuumed.
3.  After the front room, I started looking at the hallway and the walls and kept cleaning. I feel pretty good about what I've done today.
4.  Scott did some more writing today. O, P, S and T. It is so cool that he's learning to write!
5.  I did a 20-minute workout on the treadmill today and Scott was a good cheerleader. I was even able to take a shower! Pretty great. I think I could make it a regular thing during Bobby's nap.

4 February 2013

1. My grandpa was born today. I love him.
2. I got to catch up on a lot of my shows today and that was fun.
3. The laundry is done! That's mostly why I could justify the TV.
4. Scott and I played cars and he did some writing. It's cute to see how excited he gets when he does well.
5. Matt took the day off so he could spend time with us and get back in the right time zone.

3 February 2013

1. I woke up on my own (no child alarm clock) at 6:30am and showered before the kids woke up!
2. We were all ready and dressed for church a good 2 hours before we had to leave.
3. Sacrament meeting wasn't super difficult. Mary sat with me, which made things easier, but I really felt like the kids were more well-behaved than usual.
4. Bobby and Scott both went to their classes at church and so did I. Miracle!
5. MATT IS HOME!!! His flight even came in 30 minutes early and I happened to check United so I knew it was early and was there in time. Tender mercy.

1 February 2013

1. Bobby went down for a nap at a good time so he got enough sleep before the party.
2. I had fun making a "valentine box" at the Valentine Party. Scott asked for a green monster, so that's what I made.
3. Bobby loved the party--he wandered around the whole time eating conversation hearts off the table.
4. The boys loved running around at Jackson's and Grant's baseball practice.
5. Bedtime was very smooth. Bobby is starting to consistently be quiet and patient while I sing to Scott and then happily go to bed when it's time.

31 January 2013

1. After I did my post last night, Bobby woke up. I had a thought that he might just want some water--we spent a lot of time at the beach after all. So I brought some water in, he drank it, and pointed to his bed and went back to sleep. I know it was the Spirit telling me what he needed!
2. We had a pretty lazy day after two busy ones, so that was nice.
3. We got sweethearts from Walgreens and a new coconut three musketeers bar to try.
4. I made pumpkin roll.
5. Grant and Scott had a little picnic outside for a long time. It was really cute and I feel like they both of them had a great time. They're friends :)
