In other news:
The kids and I were discussing allergies. They really want a cat or dog, but Brett is allergic to both. Ava piped up saying she was allergic to monsters. So silly. Also Meggie and Savannah have passed off the Articles of Faith 1-5 for primary. It's amazing what their little minds retain. Speaking of retaining; while I was putting Ava to bed tonight she said "Mom, I practiced my Articles of Faith" and went on to say the 4th... with the exception of saying
ornaments instead of
ordinances and getting
immersion and
remission a little twisted and turned around. Just when you think their not paying attention, huh? This is not new news, but just wanted to make sure everyone knew we still have
tons of snow and it's still falling! No, I'm not complaining it's just that I haven't seen
this much in the 6 years that we have been here; it's crazy. We are getting a little spoiled too. We've had only the first hour of church for the past two weeks due to all the snow and the hardship it has put on so many people in our ward. Phil saw his shadow, so we are bracing ourselves for six more weeks.
We still have snow and are trying to enjoy it. It is that time of the year where I start getting tired of it all. It is turning icy rather than fluffy so it makes it harder to deal with. Savannah's school had a get-together at an indoor water park/bowling/games, etc... earlier this week. It was a nice break from the snow and cold. We not only met friends from the school, but as the night went on we ran into several families from our ward. (Yes, it was 1/2 price Monday night and a fun way to get out of the house for FHE!) Because of our stint at the waterpark, Ava has put her lifejacket on every morning this week. Dreaming of warmer weather...
We also had a busy week of making Valentine cards. We had a party for our co-op group and the girls insisted on making all of their own Valentines. We were up to our elbows in glue, glitter, and paint. I'm sure I will be tracking glitter all over the house for the next month. Mom, Sheila, and our neighbor (Dolores) also sent the girls Valentines. It was such a surprise and so much fun for them. I always feel blessed to know that their are people out there that love my kids as much as we do and are able to do special things for them. Now if I can just get them to come down from their sugar high...
