Busy Week!

It's been a busy week here! Friday Dave's work had it's annual Lagoon day, so we dropped Logan off at Grandma's house, rode some roller coasters, swam at Lagoona Beach (and rode all the water slides), ate at the work BBQ, and called it a day! Dave loves roller coasters, so he looks forward to this day all year. It was fun because there were no lines (we walked onto Wicked twice without waiting) but 98 degrees!

Saturday and Sunday were the day of plumbing disasters! Our sprinkler line broke, so we worked for hours trying to fix that (still needs work, but we're hoping to get it figured out by Friday). Our bathroom sink and bathtub started draining slowly, so we worked on those for quite a while (fixed the sink, but can't figure out how to get the snake around the corner for the bath tub...).

Then Sunday the bathroom sink downstairs decided to start leaking! For that one, the entire pipe had corroded so when I unscrewed everything (the tightener pieces shattering as I twisted it) and pulled to remove the old pipe, the pipe shattered in my hand! Being metal, that was a big shock. Monday we were able to fix that one, and take a little break from all things plumbing.

Sunday we also started our new calling - Leader of the Nursery Leaders. This sounds far more involved than it currently is. Right now we are the only nursery leaders (they used to have 7, but they released them all upon calling us). Eventually we'll get to work out a schedule where some leaders are in the nursery each week, giving one couple a week off every so often. Also we'll share who does the lesson... but for right now it's just Dave and I!

The two hour block went better than I expected. The kids mostly listened to us, and did what they were supposed to. We had the old Leader in with us, so next week will be our first week flying solo. I think Logan had fun, but it was hard keeping the kids from stepping on his hands and tripping over him. He can't walk yet, and they tend to forget he's still small. Mostly he was happy playing and snacking instead of being quiet in Relief Society/Priesthood!

Tuesday Logan and I went to visit Alison and Andrea. We brought lunch and ate with them, shared some of our apricots (which Andrea probably ate 5 for lunch), and dropped of a few little things for baby Sarah (who is due in two weeks). It was fun to get out and have some play time with the cousin! Logan really loves playing with his cousin.

This morning I woke up early to bake some cupcakes for April's baby shower on Saturday since it was so cool out and we could blow the cool in and not heat up the house. I got this idea from Pinterest to bake them in baby food jars and dye them all kinds of fun colors.

They turned out cute, although there are things about them I would have done differently in the future (either make smaller dollops of each color of batter, or just do each jar a different color, also put less batter in each). I will freeze them today, then thaw and frost them on Saturday for the shower at noon.
