A Do Nothing Day

Keea is huge and only a few of us can control her. She is getting better when no one is around.

I decided not to clean today. These are some of the things I did instead:

Ok. I did vacuum the living room, did the dishes, and folded clothes. I also went to Sadie's soccer game this morning. She won. Trevor won his game yesterday also. Too bad I was driving back and forth instead of watching him. I really love to watch my children and their accomplishments.

Gary went to the BYU vs. San Diego State game on Wed. He said it was the best game he's ever been to. When he got home he stayed up till wee hours of the morning helping Trevor get his Science Fair project done, because I refused to help with it when T picked out his project. This is what I found when I got up the next morning:

I don't think it had anything to do with T's project!!!! But Gary did say that I'd got "Jimmered" whatever that means. Looking forward to Sunday, Church and our day of rest and time with the family with not much else on the agenda until Mon. when the chaos starts all over again.

Playing Turtle

This is a common sight every morning after the girls get out of the shower:

I let them play turtle for a few minutes before they get dressed. Some days I would like to do the same, but I'm sure it just wouldn't look as cute, nor would their towels cover me like they do them. Cute little girlies. I just love them.

Spring????

I wanted to write a post about how much I love spring and the new life that it brings every year, but our poor weather is so confused. This was what we woke up to on Friday morning:


And it is back again this morning. I love the snow, but I want to enjoy my blossoms, the tulips, my bleeding heart and the beginning of life after a long winter. But it does cover up the weeds that we haven't attacked yet and we are grateful to have procrastinated the garden. I love the sound of the neighborhood kids playing outside and knowing that it's not too hot in the afternoon for the kids to stay out there. I hate the question, "Can we play wii? It's too hot outside!!!" So for now I will appreciate whatever comes our way. Life is too short to be waiting for a sunny day to be happy. Let's be happy even when things don't go the way we want.
