Yesterday
was Wednesday. It’s the day all 5 of us are gone all day long. Nate and
I both work, Kaylee goes to school and then the Westovers’ afterward,
and Kaylee and Ammon go to a babysitter. I pack all 5 of us lunches...no
easy task!
At
work, it was my first day alone in the procedure room. It was really
easy because we only had 2 stinkin’ patients. Oh well. I got my
experience. The more I work this job, the more I realize I don’t want to
work so closely with the physician for the rest of my life...I feel
like a glorified servant. Bleh. It was really interesting to observe the
epidural steriod injections, though.
Our
normal routine for bedtime is: PJs, brush teeth, read 2 or 3 stories,
read a scripture story, prayers, and a song. I leave the closet light on
and allow the girls to read some more, which isn’t very long. I usually
leave Ammon crying because he wants to read more books! We would read
every book we own every night if he had his way. I have to go in
afterward and cover them all up because they don’t stay under the
covers. Especially since our heater hasn’t been working for the past 2
or 3 days, and it’s freezing at night!
I
gave myself an hour to work on Ammon’s quilt. I’m SO close. I just have
to bind 2 sides and a couple final details. I hope to have his and
Brenna’s done for their birthdays in June!
Today
after I got Kaylee to school, I took Ammon and Brenna to Sarah
Gardiner’s home for preschool. I was the helper teacher. It was
wonderful! BUT exhausting. However, we persevered and ran to a couple of
stores before picking up Kaylee. One of which was Trader Joe’s
(requested by Brenna) where I always let them pick some fruit jerky, and
they get stickers. This time they got scratch-and-sniff in the scents
of bananas, chocolate, and stinky cheese. I watched Brenna in my
rearview mirror as she smelled each sticker. After smelling the cheesy
one, she crinkled her nose and put it on Ammon. She said, “Ammon, you
can have the stinky cheese.” Ammon smiled.
Right
now the girls are washing the dishes. I fill up one side of the sink
with soapy water and let them go to town. They love it! As far as the
rest of the night, I have a MOUNTAIN of laundry to fold, and I hope to
finish Ammon’s quilt.
Other stuff from this week:
Yay for a super exciting milestone for
Brenna this week...she made her bed! Kaylee has been trying to make a
habit of making her bed every morning before school, and it rubbed off
onto Brenna. Here she is after making her bed for the first time!
One
of our neighbors, Sarah Gardiner, hosts a preschool in her home. Brenna
has been going to it! They made a bird feeder one day...
We hung it on the tree...
...and
the next day it was gone. Probably a groundhog, or rabbit, or deer, or
squirrel, or chipmunk, or bird...we see at least one of these animals
almost daily!
After putting the kids to bed, I came in to the bathroom to find this! They are so clever.
