Preschool and Easter


Today we had preschool at our house and we got to celebrate Easter a little early. We woke up to snow on the grass, so I was thinking that we'd have a hunt in the house for eggs. But luckily the sun broke through and by 11:30 the snow had melted, except next to the fence line where the sun didn't hit. The girls made cute flower pots. They painted their pots, glued their flowers together and got to take treats home in them. While they were painting I was looking for the camera and asked Melanie and Cameron if they knew where it was. Melanie new exactly where it was- under Alyssa's crib. (She does this all of the time, hiding under the crib or the boys' bunk beds looking at the pictures on the camera. I'm so afraid she is going to delete my pictures!) Anyway, opening the door woke up Alyssa who WAS asleep. EERRR!!! Short nap! When the pots were done, they colored an Easter picture while I went and hid eggs outside. Everyone brought a dozen and I had a "golden egg" for everyone to find also. They had a lot of fun.

Melanie likes to answer the phone lately (of course, she's a girl) and the phone rang and it was our realtor. When Melanie answer's the phone it's not a "hello, just a minute I'll get my mom" type answer. Oh no, you are on the phone with her for at least 2 minutes and she would talk longer if you let her. So after Melanie talked with her she handed the phone over to me and my realtor proceeded to tell me that Melanie had told her it was her birthday (which it isn't) and so my realtor sang happy birthday to her on the phone. My realtor had a good laugh when I told her it wasn't her birthday, but a preschool Easter party! Can you tell she is excited for her next birthday... only 11 more months!

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

Image
I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
