A Blur

So I forgot to snap a picture for today. That would be because it was a blur. I almost never do, but this weekend I work two nights in a row, Saturday and Sunday. This is how my weekend has been: worked all night Saturday, home this morning and crashed at 9am, opened my eyes at 5pm, ate dinner and came back to the hospital. So basically it's been a blur.

101 Things You Can Do With Masking Tape

I kept hearing the masking tape being used, so I had to go so what needed so much tape. This is what I found. The kids lined the floor with tape, blindfolded themselves and the point was to see if you could walk on the "tight rope" without falling off. The kids were laughing so hard watching each other.

She Cooks Too!

Randy and I were planning to make a date of food shopping. Dinner hadn't been cooked yet, and so my wonderful Leigh volunteered to do dinner so Randy and I could hurry and leave before Costo closes. She loves to cook and is pretty good at it. She's such a great help to our family.

When Homework is Done

When homework is done, the imagination play begins. No video gaming equals some good old fashioned fun. Jace has a ton of fun playing with his big brother. They took the cinder blocks to make a "golf course" to roll a baseball through.

Bedtime Scene

Gathering for prayer can be a challenge, because everyone is usually doing something.

Science Fair and Cartwheels in the Dark

It's that time of year again! You know, where we stay up all night, the night before this project is due, fighting with double sided tape and bright colored construction paper. It was Kara's first year going solo on a Science Fair Project. I think she did pretty well if I do say so myself. She was determined to do her best. She actually stayed up until midnight last night because she didn't want to go to bed until it was done!

The board looked awesome. Her science fair project was on which temperature of water dissolves sugar and salt faster. Kara learned a lot about solubility and molecules. Her board looked great and she was so proud of it. Great job Kara!!As far as the cartwheels go, well, here's how it all went down. My family decided that we should all go running for our FHE. Some of us are feeling a little thick around the middle, I won't name names. We ran 2 times around the big circle at BYUH and then stopped to stretch in front of the Aloha Center. While laying there, some of the kids started doing cartwheels. Next thing I know, I see Randy cartwheeling with the rest of the kids. I couldn't just stand there and watch my family make a food out of themselves without me, so I joined in as well. I did two cartwheels very slowly. If I went any faster than I had, bad things would have happened. So there we were, all six of carthwheeling around while Jace was clapping his hands in excitement. Good times. Good times.

Blogging Resolutions

So I'm 8 days into the New Year and not doing very well with my blogging resolutions. I guess I should have written them down. So here I am writing my blogging goal down. I thought of this last year and am not sure how well I will do, but my goal is to write at least one thing from our family's day to remember.
So here's today's memory. Our wonderful friends the Hippolites blessed their 6th and only boy of the family today. They invited Randy to participate in the circle. Randy gladly did so. Later we went over and had an early dinner and visited with their family and others from the ward. We are so blessed to have great friends like them who bless our lives.

P.S. I'm still going to catch up from last year. Wish me luck!
