Parentheticals

Alison was recently asked if she was planning to teach a new class next semester in the same teaching co-op that she is currently teaching in. She would like to teach, however, she hasn't yet put too much thought into it, so she is now starting to try to figure out what to teach. Mike and Rea were sick for multiple days this last week. Both of them are pretty good about wearing masks, so probably they didn't pass it on to anyone, however, it is hard to know for sure. Some of the kids went to the Dalyas on Wednesday instead of going to nature group like usual. One can only assume that they had a fun time, however, they are not here to confirm or deny that right now. On Friday Alison and Mike went to see The Importance of Being Earnest. The Sandy arts guild was putting it on, and they did a pretty good job of it. We really love to play and go to see it every chance that we can get, so we might not be likely to call it horrible, but that being said we still thought it was fun.  Sa...

This week was very exciting in the video game community; there was a new update for Terraria! Mike, Tim, Gideon, and cousin Logan spent a lot of hours exploring the new rules of the world. If you want to talk to any of them, they would be happy to tell you about how stacking whips no longer works or the trick to sand blocks or some other things I've forgotten by now. The Terraria update was on Tuesday, so that was the main thing going on for a few days. Oh, before that, on Monday Elsa's school had a Literacy Night, and she and Mom went and read some books and did some activities and got given a few free books. Elsa got Pete the Cat and the New White Shoes, which she was very excited about. Her school lets her track when we read together online for prizes. Friday the Elders Quorem hosted a ward Pinewood Derby. The kids were soo excited. There's a sister in the ward known for decorating, and she painted her car like Pikachu, organized all the kids to cheer for her, and won th...

We noticed we haven't written a blog post in a little while. Alison sums it up thus: we were sick and then sick and then sick and then sick and then sick and now we are finally getting better.  Here are some good things that we did recently: We went to the zoo. Timmy really wants to go back, so it must have been fun. We played another RPG session with Chauncey and Becky. The highlight of the session was as we were trying to escape the evil ruler of the city in a boat on the water we accidentally summoned the fish of the hills (which is a cryptozooid which my character invented as a cover story for why we were hanging around the town). Apparently something that matched the description that I came up with actually existed in the river, so when we sang a song about it we summoned it and it ate the bad guy who was chasing us.  It was rather entertaining, and a perfect ending to the session.
