No Ditto

By -
On Monday we built a blanket fort for our family night activity. The kids loved sitting in it. While we did that Mike started reading the Hobbit to the family too.

We have been playing Pokemon Go a lot recently. The kids like to catch the pokemon, and are willing to walk around so that we can play. This week we tried to catch a ditto, but we didn't catch it. We also tried to defeat a raid boss, but we couldn't win because we were not powerful enough. They still enjoy the game a lot.

We also just found a story that we had written down a while back:
Mike stands up, and walks away from his seat to get something. Timmy quickly sits down in his seat.
Mike: I stood up for a minute, and Timmy usurped me
Timmy: I'm gonna surp you again next time
Gideon: Get away Daddy from Timmies surpies!
Sara shoves timmy off the seat
Sara: I de-usurped him
Mike sits down, and timmy jumps on him and yanks his hat off
Timmy: I surped him again by taking his hat

Rea and Sara have a story to tell:
Rea: I made a new ghost noise this week, and it sounds like ooOOoh!
Rea: This is the ghost of a haunted... a haunted... What is it the noise of?
Sara: A haunted house.
Sara: This is the ghost of a haunted grouse.
Both: Laughter

In Wednesday it was Gideon's date night. He wanted a fire, popcorn, and a short movie.

On Thursday the kids went to the dentist during the day. We are going back on Monday for Rea to get a cavity filled, and for Sara to get sealants.

In the evening Mike went to BGDG, and played some guy's game about being explorers on the high seas. The game was pretty fun, and we he had a good time.

On Friday Mike and Alison read together for their date night.

We had a lot of work to do Saturday morning. Alison's bumper had fallen off the car, so Mike reattached it again. Hopefully this time it stays attached. We also went shopping, cleaned up the house,

On Saturday Mike and Alison played our first ever game of Glory to Rome. It was a very fun game. Mike is glad to have gotten it. He is even trying to come up with a 18 card game similar to it because he likes it so much.

This week we have been busily trying to get ready for christmas. We have all of the presents that we need and Alison did all of the shopping, so really we're pretty close now. On Wednesday Mike was able to use some volunteer time off to go to The cannery at welfare square and help them can applesauce. He ended up canning about 15,000 pounds of applesauce. It was good, and he appreciates that guys work pays him for it. On Wednesday we all went to the church because the activity dudes and young women (and men) were having a caroling activity. We had a fun time going around and singing and then ate cookies and drink hot taco after. Gideon and Elsa ended up going home early with Alison. Thursday after dropping the kids off at Grandma Julie's house Alison went all over the entire valley to every store that exists in order to buy things in preparation for Christmas. (Alison wants me to add that it was only actually four stores.) Despite having gone everywhere she was still unable to ...

The start of morels - 2018

Another week has passed. Alison got a new bike this week. She is trying to figure out how to bike around four kids, and was hoping that having a bike with a higher seat would allow her to attach a trail-a-bike to it, which would mean that she could carry two kids along behind her on her bike. It doesn't seem like it is going to work, however, and she might end up just hauling the kids in the bike trailer like in previous years. Wednesday was Rea's date night. She chose to have a fire, read books, and have a dessert. It was fun. This week Rea and Sara went to theater camp to prepare for a play that they put on on Saturday. It was The ugly duckling. They said their lines clearly, and spoke toward the audience most of the time. They did very well. At the same time, Alison, Timmy, and Gideon waited outside for them, and got good naps. Grandpa Mike and Grandma Sheila came over to Utah this week, so we were able to spend some time with them on Friday and Saturday. We watc...

In which we blacken someone's name

Last Sunday after we wrote our blog post Rea received her patriarchal blessing. The patriarch was not far away from our home, and she received a nice blessing. The patriarch's wife acted as a stenographer, and they delivered a text version of it to our house a few days ago, so she now can read it when she wants to. The Dalyias came over on Monday and the kids all played. They had a lot of fun and apparently ate a lot of mints as well. Wednesday was a very busy day. In the morning Alison and the kids went to the Poulson's house and then Mike took Sara to her acting class. Next, Rea went to the temple open house, and Alison took the kids to her presidency meeting with her, and then Mike took Sara back to her activity and grabbed the kids. Here's hoping that we can avoid that busy a day for at least a few weeks. Gideon had a lot of fun at Sullivan's birthday party on Thursday. They jumped on a trampoline, ate pie, played a lot of games, and ran around, so it sounds like it...
