I have been sitting here for at least 10 minutes, trying to think of something blogworthy. Our days just keep slipping by and without documenting things as they happen the cute things get lost, the silly things aren't funny, the hard things are forgotten, and now I sit here with nothing to write but the events of the week. Sooo.... working backwards, here's the week in review.
Yesterday I had quiet time with my little ones, while DH and some boys were gone doing ROTC and Scout stuff. We spent a peaceful hour or two at Grandma's while the kids played. Then went on a nice date. Afterwards I went and had a brave friend trim my hair!
Friday I had a GNin with the Princess after the babies were in bed. We snuggled into my bed with some snacks and Disney Channel. I wasn't a very exciting date though, since I fell asleep during the third episode of Zack & Cody and missed the new DCOM (Disney Channel Original Movie) that we were trying to wait up for.
Without pictures, the fact that I crocheted little stuffed animals on Thursday for homeless children (sad fact we learned - the average age of a homeless person in AZ is 9 years old. Most of them are Mother's leaving a domestic violence situation, with small children), isn't very exciting. But it was a lot of fun and always feels sooo good to give service. Plus, they are super-cute!
DH taught first aid to my young women on Wednesday. We're doing camp prep throughout the year (once a month) so that we don't end up with all of it the month before camp. The girls absolutely loved wrapping each other's broken ankles, legs, and arms.
We had book group on Tuesday. We are discussing Bonds that Make Us Free by C. Terry Warner. We're reading one chapter a month and it has been delightful. We are having the best discussions EVER!
On Monday, for Family Night, we had biscuit donuts (fried by my brother) at one of our favorite parks. Tomorrow night we have big plans for roasting hot dogs and marshmallows with friends for family night! Woohoo!
I fully expect the same kind of thrills during the upcoming week, since I have a parent teacher conference, an assignment to bake rolls for the homeless shelter, a planned visit to a group home for Adults with special needs on Sunday, a cutesy craft for the Young Women on Wednesday, teaching art to the kids again on Thursday (they are absolutely loving the drawing portion of our lessons. Want a great resource? Mark Kistner's Draw Squad!) and my usual fun while I cook, bake, clean, and care for my awesome family!
Our missionary only has about another week in the Missionary Training Center! We're really hoping that his VISA comes through in time so that he can ship out to Ukraine in early March as planned! He is so excited to begin teaching the people there!

My weeks are the SAME OLD - SAME OLD to but I try to write down something to remember then by.
♥ Sounds like a busy week to come! :)
It's all those little events that make life rich--thanks for sharing!
Love the new background--it is just darling!
Blessings!
Your weeks sound like mine-a lot of the same old stuff with a few exciting things mixed in. But I think it's always a good idea to document it for posterity!
The weeks do go by quite quickly and the same kind of things - but it is fun to have them written down... I hope this week is great and only 2 more weeks in the MTC! Exciting!
Well.....at least I'm not the only one. But spring is coming! More exciting days to come. :)
And so cool for your missionary going to the Ukraine...are you nervous, is he?
Oh, and I'm jealous. I want to be in Young Womens again! I miss those girls!
GREAT week!
did i tell you how much i love your new blog design yet? LOVE IT!!
still waiting for my NY phone call...hear anything?
I wish I had known you then. I would have mailed your missionary some homemade caramels. Although I ate one today and broke off a tooth. Maybe that would have been a bad idea...so nevermind.
