What weekend? I can't believe it's Monday morning already! My kids begged and begged to stay home today from school. I was mean. I made them go. The crazy thing is that I can't think of what we even did this weekend. Humm.....
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?
Now, let's get to work!
