We had a pretty good week. The kids were ravenous eaters this week. Usually I cook every other day and we have leftovers in between. This week I had to cook every day because there just wasn't enough left for the next day! Not a bad problem to have.
We went on a field trip around the neighborhood this week. We stopped at the houses of people in the neighborhood that we missed or we thought could use some cheering up and decorated their sidewalk with chalk. It was a fun way to help spread happiness.
School was about the same as always except on Fridays when both the boy's teachers decided to give them an easy day! I hope this continues. Logan's teacher had them catch up on anything they missed and took one quiz. That's it!!! Dustin's teacher gave him all fun things to do (art, library, gym, etc)! So the kids all worked on Dustin's together then we called it a day.
On Friday since we didn't have a lot of school to worry about, the kids and I worked hard to get house work done so when Dave got home we could have fun! The boys made a fort/tent in the basement to sleep in. After dinner we had a fire in the back yard. The kids were huge helpers! They crumpled the paper and helped collect kindling and put it in the fire pit. We loved throwing logs on the fire and of course roasting marshmallows. We really have been needing some outside time and this was just the break we hoped for.
Saturday Dave and I worked in the yard a lot while the kids played in the yard. They discovered the water spigot and we had to talk about leaving the water on a lot. Saturday night we had a family movie night where we watched Matilda and drank hot chocolate milkshakes. The boys said they were so good they must be famous!
Sunday we had sacrament meeting and a lesson on loving and being kind to everyone. We set personal goals that would help us show our love to our family this week. We also discussed King Benjamine.
I was able to get 10 pairs of shorts hemmed for Brooklyn's summer wardrobe. She's now set for the warm weather that is supposed to be coming this week (in the 80's is forecasted). Also this week I sewed a new apron for myself. Two of the three we have in the kitchen have holes in them and since the one that is left belongs to Dave it was time.
Sunday evening, after a delicious dinner of Korean beef, we went on a walk on the Jordan River Trail. The kids had a blast exploring all the little trails, nooks and crannies. They discovered a few houses made out of logs, tons of birds, baby ducks, bugs, and Brooklyn found a beaver's lodge. Getting out in nature was good for us all!
