Life 365 | Week 29
Monday, July 12, 2010 Over the weekend I realized that my drivers license had expired on my birthday - OOPS! So today while the kids were at their schools, I headed off to spend some time at the driver license office. An hour later and I was done and had my temporary license in my hand (until the permanent one gets mailed to me). I am thankful that it was shorter than I thought it would be and glad to have it over for another 5 years! Tuesday, July 13, 2010 Beth is loving science camp and I think we'll have to get her in every year. They made paper rockets today and got to shoot them off! We made up some red velvet cookies today - some for us at home and some to take to the Relief Society Dinner in the park. It was fun to leave the kids home with dad and go visit and ... [Read More]
Life 365 | Week 20
Monday, May 10, 2010 I still wasn't feeling very well today, but JJ seemed just fine, so the kids went to school. I didn't accomplish very much. It ended up being a rough evening. I burned the corn chowder and the kids were fighting and having a bit of a hard time. But at least my rolls turned out good. I don't think I will be having corn chowder again anytime soon - I ended up being up all night and throwing up in the bathroom. Tuesday, May 11, 2010 Last night was completely exhausting. I haven't been that sick in a long time. Today wasn't any better. I didn't eat a thing all day and still felt so sick. But the kids and Joey were fine. Joey got to go on a field trip with JJ and they went to Fishing Day at Salem Pond. The wonderful community puts it on every year for all the special ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 12
Monday, March 16, 2009 JJ was still a little sick, so he stayed home from school today. The kids were actually really good today and played together all day. I thought this was the cutest candid photo. They were sitting in the rocking chair together - sipping their water and watching movies. Tuesday, March 17, 2009 We went for a walk after dinner tonight and it felt like Spring. I think it is actually coming. I captured this adorable hug between my kiddos and I really love the moments when they are so good to each other. Unfortunately, Joey got our sickness now and he was really miserable today. He stayed in bed all day - I hope he gets better soon. Wednesday, March 18, 2009 Our vacation is almost here! I am rushing around like a crazy woman trying to get laundry ... [Read More]
Project 365 | Week 6
Monday, February 2, 2009 JJ didn't have a school - teacher development day - so we just hung out at home. The kids were feeling better today and they were really feeling a bit shut-in, so we decided to go for a walk. We got the mail and just went on a short walk around the trailer park. We spent most of the day watching movies, cleaning up, and making hearts. Tuesday, February 3, 2009 I felt pretty awful today. Thank goodness that Joey was able to take Beth to and from school for me. When Beth got back, we hung out on my bed playing ponies and watching The Swan Princess so I could get a little more rest. When JJ got home, we hung out with Cody and Becki for awhile, since Cody needed my computer for a school project. Bedtime came and I put the kids to bed. Later I went in to check ... [Read More]
