From the vaults
Last week we failed to click the post button, so even though we wrote a post, it was never published.
Two sundays ago we had a game night with the Fords. We played The Scarlet Pimpernel, and Nefarious. Both games were fun, and the kids had a fun time as well.
That Tuesday Mike went to the Board Game Design Guild meeting, and talked about games mostly.
Also on Tuesday we also went to nature group at 2:00 for the first time this year. We picked some feral plums, apples, pears, and we also saw a fox. It was fun. Timmy found bones - they looked like fox bones.
Rea read a historical fiction book called "Naya nuki: Shoshoni girl who ran" for her history and geography lesson. She then made a sheet cake, frosted it, and decorated it as a nap of Naya nuki's journey. Wednesday afternoon she told us the story and then we ate the cake.
Homeschool book reports are the best.
For our Thursday date night, Alison and Mike played "the Perfect Moment" - it is fun to play Mike's game because it is pretty much exactly the type of game that Alison likes to play.
Saturday we dropped the kids off at Amy's house, and had a date. During the time that we were without kids we had someone come over to purchase our goats. Now that we are without goats and we have a job where Mike is able to work remotely we can visit our family for extended periods of time. We might even decide to rent the house out during the ski season and go off to Louisiana or somewhere warm.
Rea is very mad about this.
The kids watched the new Disney Aladdin movie while they were at the Plastows. Logan also caught a cool caterpillar, and played outside. They had a fun time.
On Saturday we also got a little tiny dish washer, which we haven't set up yet. Alison hopes to run it after every meal, and that it will work great.
Saturday night we went to the ward picnic. We were asked to provide fun things for the kids to do, so we brought hula hoops for hula hoop races, paper and finger paints for finger painting, an also medals as prizes for winning the races.
The kids had a fun time, and the parents mostly just sat around and talked.
Last Sunday we went to church, and the kids practiced the primary program
Monday of this week we got ice cream for family night. Sara picked that as our activity, and even though the family was out of fun budget at the time, the older girls payed for it with their own money.
On Wednesday Rea went out to the Activity day, and she got to participate - She showed that she sewed a doll dress, and a movie of her play that she wrote. They also got doughnuts, and played in the gym.
On Thursday there was a birth center reunion that mommy and baby Elizabeth attended. Mom enjoyed seeing her class mates again.
On Friday Alison and the kids were at nature group when someone saw dark clouds lowering overhead. They raced the clouds back to the car and barely missed being out in an amazing hail storm. Meanwhile, back at home, Mike collected hail and photographed it
Friday night we had a dance party in our front room. We used the new lights on party mode (where they change colors smoothly through the whole visible spectrum.) It was fun.
Saturday morning we went to the Freedoms Light festival in Bountiful. It was fun - we had a breakfast with pancakes, learned about many people during the revolutionary war, and then we got lunch there and finally, we went to the pool and swam. It was very fun. We plan to go back to the festival next year.
Saturday night there was a party in a park near Amy's house. We had pizza and played with cousins and second cousins, and talked about things.
Sunday was both the Primary program and baby Elizabeth's blessing. We had a soup lunch afterward, and talked and played for hours. The kids all did great at their parts on the primary program. Also, Baby Elizabeth was very good and cute.
We are excited to go to Reno in two weeks, and the kids are already getting ready for it.
Next we plan on visiting Grandparents Mike and Sheila in Casper. We need to schedule that with them.
