We wanted to take the kids and go to SLC on Friday to President Hinckley's viewing BUT the roads were all closed! We couldn't get out of Idaho. We were planning to stay over night with Hubby's sister, Julie, so my kids were very disappointed when we had to cancel. In order to prove that we still loved them, we got Papa Murphy's Pizza and the High School Musical PS2 game. I think that was an okay substitute. We had our little Friday Family Fun Night and we sang and sang and sang out little hearts out. Hubby won! He isn't around the house much so he hasn't had to listen those songs over and over and over which means he doesn't even know the songs, he plugged his nose and sang really really high and made us all laugh really hard and still got the best scores! I think he's a cheater!
Saturday, the kids traded bedrooms around. We have 3 kids bedrooms and I have had a hard time trying to figure out how to divide up the sleeping arrangements. PROBLEM: 3 boys, 3 girls, 3 bedrooms. Who sleeps where? What we've tried so far: I've divided it so that the 3 girls are all together in one room and the older boys each have their own room and that leaves H in my room. I've also tried S in her own room, both older boys share a room, and the other two girls share a room, once again, leaving H in my room. Saturday we moved them so that the older boys share a room, the older 2 girls share a room, and that leaves K & H to share a room. So, how did our new arrangement work out? K has been sleeping half the night in the room with the big girls and then eventually wanders into my room and sleeps with me and H is STILL in my bed which has left me with an empty bedroom. AHHH....Maybe Hubby and I will take the empty room!
We watched President Hinckley's funeral most of the day on Saturday. Then Hubby and I went out on our bi-monthly Saturday grocery shopping date! Saturday is such a calm, uncrowded, relaxing day to shop....NOT! I do love that my older kids are old enough to stay home with the younger kids though so I can spend such great, quality, uninterrupted time with my Sweetheart! This is definately the Happily Ever After part of our Walt Disney story.
Yesterday was Fast Sunday, (my kids call it Sslllllooooooowwwwww Sunday!) and testimony meeting was very nice for a change. Then I was off to wrestle my little Sunbeam class and my own little Sunbeam, K, was the worst! I was really hoping her parents would come and rescue me and take her home but no such luck, so she came home with me. Instead of getting my weekly Sunday nap, Hubby made wonderful dinner and generously invited a family in the ward over to share it with us. I went onto Flylady.com this morning and I decided that I live in CHAOS! (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome!) I was slightly stressed! My washing machine broke AGAIN! on Saturday so I have stinky laundry all over. (Hubby, please, Please, PLEASE can I now have brand new machines?) We just stuffed it all in the little laundry room/entry to garage room and shut the door. It was all good until my friend, Shawna, had to clean up a juice mess and she wanted to throw the wet towel in with my dirty laundry. So, my new rule is: If you still like me even after you see my dirty stinky laundry pile that almost touches the ceiling, then you are a very good friend!
Last night before bed we were talking to the kids about what would now take place as a new prophet is called. We asked them if they had any questions. J, who is always thinking about really important things, asked, "So, how do you think we are going to fit another name into the Latter-day Prophets song?" Then he starts singing it and at the end he said all the names really really really fast, then added President Thomas S. Monson's name into the song and then fell on my bed laughing. Good question!
And that was my uneventful, no pictures even, where-did-the-time-go?, but just-the-way-I-like-it weekend! Aren't you glad that you asked? We did get lots of snow though, but still no snowdays!
And how was you're weekend?

Your weekend sounds pretty eventful to me, sounds like you had fun!! Several wards were out here on account of snow. School was also out half day thursday, all day friday,and all day today...
Well, that actually sounds like a pretty nice weekend! :D
Ours was pretty uneventful, as always. Except the OK Corral routine we do at church with twins and a 4-year-old. One Sunday down,... (ha, ha!)
Good luck getting the bedrooms issue straightened out. I think you should all boys in one room, all girls in one room, and use the other for yourself. :) (right, I know.) Good luck, though. If you try it one way and it keeps reverting back to something else, I say go with the something else! Don't fight the flow...
Have a great week. :)
My mom works for the church so she got to attend a private viewing for the prophet with 3 of my siblings. I so wish I could have gone but of course I'm clear across the country. Didn't even get to see the funeral.
I have room dilemas too. Mostly that 2 basement bedrooms are used to store hud that we don't use. But we have to sort, throw away and store the stuff somewhere else before we can move the kids.
Hey, Alisa's blog is "Intermountain Chaos" on my links. She wanted to visit your blog, but I think it was already private by then.
Here's the solution to the bedrooms: One room for girls, one room for boys, and one room for just you. It can be a home office, a craft room, a storage room, or an exercise room.
Don't konw if the kids like that idea.....hee hee
One of the teachers at school wanted me to tell you not to feel bad for not going to the viewing on Friday. She said she went at 3pm. and didn't get out until 7pm.--4 hours!! She said there were several families with little kids that were miserable--hungry and tired. The best day to go was Thursday because it only took us 45 minutes to get in and out. You'll have to come visit us when there is less snow and we will go see the graves of all the prophets in the Salt Lake Cemetery.
You did do a lot! Weekends always seem to fly by, but I love them nonetheless. My "sunbeam" is always worse when he's with me too (at Joy School)! I'm wishing you a new washing machine - a self-loading and folding one too!!!
My laundry room is the same. Sky high and stinky! It also happens to be the guest bathroom. Bummer. I hate cleaning it because it needs to be cleaned every day. There is always lint and gummy detergent drops. But, I can't complain. At least I have a laundry room and my own laundry machines so I can do it at home instead of lugging the piles, and kids!, to a laundromat!
Your kids are so beautiful! Great pictures in your sidebar.
Grocery shopping date with hubby...sounds like a great idea!
Wow, fun filled. We watched the funeral on t.v., that is close as we got. All the snow this weekend was crazy. We were probably safer at home with our families.
