What a fun week!
On Sunday we attended church. I can't describe how incredibly satisfying it is to have all four of my children in the bench with me at church. I know I sound like an old fogey but it really is true.
After church Darren was assigned to do home-bound sacrament so the kids helped me chop and dice and stir and make SUPERBOWL treats. Yay!! We are definitely a football family. We don't watch hardly any NFL (we watch college football for the most part) but really wouldn't it be un-American not to watch the Superbowl? I love that my kids know the sport. They talk the talk. They have watched and attended enough games to know that the game this year was really kinda weird and kinda wacky and really kinda wonderful with the 108 yard kickoff return, the safety, the sibling head coaches, and the power outage. It was a great game.
We all wanted the Ravens to win because of number 88 - Dennis Pitta. He was a favorite of ours when he played for BYU. It was a pretty exciting moment when Pitta scored a touchdown.
E1 got a late start as Darren had to work on her car for a bit. She won't appreciate me telling that she ended up talking the wrong exit and wandered the streets of Springville for a while late late Sunday night/Monday morning. She thought she had lost her phone while on her date last weekend but really it was in her car the entire time. Too bad she didn't figure this out until Monday... AFTER she had already found her way home.
Monday we went to the church to clean it. We cleaned the bathrooms and vacuumed the chapel. I seriously never realized the impact of sparkly clothing. One bench looked like the entire chorus line of Cabaret had been sliding up and down the cushions. It took forever to vacuum it up. The kids were good sports.
Tuesday and Wednesday passed quickly with work and school and Young Women's and dance and piano and etc. You can read my previous entry about E2 dancing at the ball game and N's week long struggle to learn his piano piece.
Friday we followed our normal routine. After work and school we cleaned house, did laundry, and got everything done so we could PLAY. E3 played with her friend Elyse and they let N join in. E2 went to a movie at Katie's house.
Today the kids cooked scrambled eggs for breakfast and then scrambled eggs for lunch.... I better go make them a meal before they have to resort to scrambled eggs for dinner. N and his friend Will were able to get together for an "epic" battle on the computer. I've been working on my lesson for tomorrow and doing my Project Life scrapbook. Darren is at the SVC working all day for State wrestling. E1 called and said she'd gone to State swim to support her old team. She was heading to the mall to have dinner with them. She got to see Grandma and Grandpa this week while they we up north. She has fallen in love with Zupa's and got Grandpa to hook her up.
Have a great week!
