Busy, Busy, Busy

I started this week by asking Elsa (Lizzy, Boo, etc) what she wanted to write in the blog, and this is what she came up with:

"For team clean I love cleaning up table and benches. My favorite animal is tiger-cats. My favorite color is pink. My favorite toothpaste is very strong toothpaste. I love Dad and Mom. I am wearing a beautiful shirt. I love Jesus."

She then told me "Isn't this a beautiful heart? It reminds you you have a heart. If your heart breaks or doesn't break. Its for everyone in our family, And Rea is asleep, so make sure you don't wake her up."

She then added "I love cats. Especially pink cats. I like to cuddle with them and play with them. I like to take them on a walk."

When this ended, I asked Gideon if he wanted to add anything and he told me "No", but I persisted and he told me the following: "My favorite color is red, My favorite animal is cats, and my favorite Team Clean job is Stairs."

Gideon then refused to add anything else to the blog, so I talked to Timmy:

"I thought going to the curiosity museum is fun." (Alison and the kids went there this week with some of their grandparents (I am honestly not sure which one, so probably Alison's parents?))

He also was happy because Aelfric gave them a new Skylander and then they were able to defeat Giant Evilized Kaos (one of the final bosses of the game perhaps).

He wanted me to add that  got mods for tear down this week as well, and also that they became level 3 in dungeons and dragons (They have been playing periodically). He wanted to add that he has a "King" skeleton named Bobby 3.

Since the day is far spent I am going to wrap up with the other things I remember:

Alison has been sick all week, and Rea is starting to get it now too. I have been feeling mostly good, but I have had some sinus issues.

This week we also had a carnival party, which was Mexico themed. We had a piñata and baked mexican cookies.

We also went to Aelfric's baptism, which was nice. Alison directed the music, so even through we showed up a few minutes late they didn't start it without us.

Finally, we have also been taking the girls to endless rehearsals for their play. They are super excited about it, so we are also all looking forward to seeing it.

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...
