A roller coaster week!

Healthy hasn't been a word to describe our family the past couple of weeks. We started off the week with Lila sick. She spent a lot of time laying on the couch because she just didn't feel well. I in turn did lots of laundry to keep up with all the sickness. Tim and Hyrum also got sick this week with congestion and sore throats. Liam is the only one who didn't get sick, which makes me wonder if he wasn't the one to bring it home. He was sick a few weeks ago with similar symptoms. Who knows through, because there is so much going around right now. The one positive thing this week was the weather. We were in the 70s for most of the week. The kids enjoyed jumping outside and eating smoothies outside. By the end of the week, everyone was feeling better, so we went to the playground down the street to play. It was so nice for all of us to just be outside enjoying the sun! Hyrum was able to receive his yellow...

Spring Break!

We made it to Spring break. It was a much needed break for everyone, not that it was much of a break, because we fit in a lot things week. I guess it was just a great break from school, which everyone needs now and then. Let's start with Monday. The kids were up bright and early. Tim came out to find the kids dressed and ready for swim lessons. They weren't excited at all. There was a mix up with the lessons, which made it a much longer morning than expected. The kids still enjoyed themselves. Monday we managed to also do some spring cleaning. We/I made it through all the clothes to toss, switch, or put away. The kids also went through their toys. We reorganized and got rid of toys they were done with. I was impressed that they were okay with getting rid of toys. It's a hard skill to learn even for an adult. I also started washing bedding and coats that needed to be stored away. Part of the reason for th...

Birthday week!

Hyrum is the type of kid that has a birthday week...sometimes he's a birthday month type of kid. He was so pumped to celebrate and have all the family come in for this baptism. While that will be discussed, let's talk other life happening first. We are down to the last few weeks of school. I didn't schedule any time off for the rest of the school year, but I quickly realized that I needed to clear a little off my plate. So, the kids doubled up on lessons and had a short week of school. I should probably knock on wood as I am typing this, because it will come back to bite me, but I have been pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to get the kids to do school. They don't tend to struggle with doing their lessons. Usually, they are nagging me to start school. Dangling days off incentivizes the kids to double down and do their work too. Hyrum decided that he wanted to do night school too, so he completed a few subjects at night, just to ...
