Is he in heaven or...

Since we have a season pass for each member of our family to see every off Broadway theater show this year, and since we don't tend to stay up late enough to watch laughingstock, we decided to see The Scarlet pimpernel another time with the whole family to use up those tickets. Since it was on the closing day they were pretty much as practiced as they ever could be.

The show was really fun, and they had added in a couple jokes over the course of the time that they were putting on the play, so it wasn't the exact same play as we saw earlier. 

This week we also talked to the cabinet guys on the floor guys and ordered cabinets and floors for our home remodel. Alison has done a lot of planning and is very excited about her new kitchen. It is going to look really cool and be organized in a way that is very conducive to the way that we cook. 

On the left is the image of what Alison wants the final kitchen to look like, and on the right is the actual flooring that we picked.

On Friday we were all invited over to the Wilson's house for mo-mo's birthday party. It was pirate themed and they had a lot of cool party favors and snacks. The coolest snack was the pizza that was shaped like an octopus with olives for tentacles, however they also made a cake that was shaped like a shark that was full of swedish fish and skeletons and stuff. 

Sara is still enjoying going to public school, and Rea also just started her co-op, which is going well. She's learning about public speaking and creative writing. She takes the train there and it is in Layton which is pretty darn far away.

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

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

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
