A nothing week

By -

Since we did so much over the last few weeks we planned this week to be a lower energy week.

We spent some time teaching Rocket to walk with a no-pull collar. He really doesn't like the collar, but he is also getting used to it, and walks without pulling much better on it. He still tries to get out of the collar, however.

On Tuesday Timmy lost one of his front teeth which has been wiggly. He lost the tooth literally as well as having had it fall out. He thought that that meant that he wouldn't get any tooth fairy money, but apparently the tooth fairy knew that he had lost it.

The kids are doing school again, and it is going well.

We also were given a bunch of apples and a loaf of bread and some cheese from the food bank left-overs again, so we have been eating apples a lot this week. 

Friday and Saturday Alison went to the Brown Family Quilting Retreat. She knitted two more figures for her nativity, and they all quilted two quilt tops for charity and they also ate a bunch of chocolate.

Since we were missing Alison, Mike and the kids had to figure out what to do with themselves. We played games, went shopping, and also looked for geocaches. While we went shopping we got Rea a new old bike, and also bought movies to watch so that we can get rid of Disney plus.

Mike's school is going fairly well so far - both teaching and learning.

Timmy says that the only fun thing that happened this week was Dad beating Plantera in Terraria.

Gideon says that he enjoyed going to Aelfric's house for his birthday party (And also the dinosaur museum).

Sara says that everything is awful (she is in a grumpy mood because she wants to eat ramen for lunch and we don't have any.)

Rea liked how mom bought her a book about crafts and how we made chocolate mint fudge when mom was gone.

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...
